Dr. N.T.R. University of Health Sciences, Andhra Pradesh, has released the official Phase-I list of 822 Meritorious Reserved Category (MRC) candidates who were initially allotted seats in the Open category but have now slid (moved) to better colleges in their own reserved category. This is a critical document for NEET UG 2026 MBBS aspirants in Andhra Pradesh — if your name appears on this list, it means your seat has been upgraded to a better college within your reserved category quota. The list shows your original Open category allotment, the college you have slid to, and your final allotted seat. Understanding this list is essential to know your current admission status and the next steps you must take.
If your name is on this Phase-I MRC sliding list, your MBBS seat has been upgraded from an Open category college to a better college in your reserved category — check the list immediately to confirm your final allotted college and take admission action by the deadline.
What is this list and why does it matter?
This is the official Phase-I Meritorious Reserved Category (MRC) sliding list released by Dr. N.T.R. University of Health Sciences for MBBS admission 2026–27 under Competent Authority Quota (CAQ) in Andhra Pradesh. 'Sliding' means that candidates who were initially allotted seats in the Open (unreserved) category have now been moved to better colleges within their own reserved category — such as SC, ST, OBC, or other backward class categories.
The list contains 822 candidates. Each entry shows: your hall ticket number, NEET rank, NEET score, gender, name, category, local area status, the Open category college you were first allotted, and the reserved category college you have now slid to. This is not a new merit list or a new round of counselling — it is a movement of seats that happens automatically after Phase-I allotment, based on your category eligibility and merit rank.
Why this matters: if your name is on this list, your admission status has improved. You are now guaranteed a seat at a better college in your reserved category, provided you report for admission on time and submit all required documents. If your name is NOT on this list, it means either you were not eligible for sliding, or you have retained your original Open category allotment.
Who is eligible for MRC sliding?
MRC sliding is available only to candidates who meet ALL of the following conditions:
1. You must belong to a reserved category (SC, ST, OBC, or other backward class) as per your NEET registration and valid category certificate.
2. You must have been allotted a seat in the Open (unreserved) category in Phase-I counselling.
3. Your NEET rank and score must be high enough to qualify for a seat in your reserved category at a better college than the one you were allotted in Open.
4. You must not have reported for admission or paid fees at your original Open category college. Once you report and pay fees, you lose the right to slide.
5. Your category certificate must be valid and issued on or after the date specified by the university (typically 30.07.2001 or later for OBC, and as per SC/ST rules). Certificates issued before this date will not be accepted.
Candidates with special categories (such as CAP — Competent Authority Placement, BSG — Backward Sections Group, or PH — Persons with Disabilities) may have different sliding rules; check the specific college code in your allotment letter.
- Valid category certificate issued on or after the prescribed date
- Allotted in Open category in Phase-I
- Merit rank sufficient for reserved category seat at a better college
- Have NOT reported for admission at the original Open category college
- Belong to a recognized reserved category under AP state rules
How to read your entry on the list
Each row on the list contains the following information in this order:
• SL NO: Serial number on the list (1 to 822).
• Hall Ticket No: Your NEET hall ticket number — use this to find yourself on the list.
• NEET RANK: Your all-India NEET rank.
• NEET Score: Your total NEET score out of 720.
• Gender: M (Male) or F (Female).
• Name of the Candidate: Your full name as registered in NEET.
• Category: Your reserved category (e.g., BCA, BCB, BCD, SC2, SC3, ST, OBC, etc.).
• Local Area: AU (Andhra University area), SVU (Sri Venkateswara University area), or APNL (AP Non-Local).
• Alloted Seat in Open Category: The college and course you were first allotted in Phase-I. Format: COLLEGE CODE - MBBS - QUOTA - CATEGORY - GENDER - PRIORITY NUMBER.
• Slided to better option in Reservation category as MRC: The college you have now slid to. This is your NEW allotted college.
• Final_Alloted_Seat: Confirmation of your final allotted college and category.
Example: If you see 'RMCK - MBBS - UR - OC - G --- 2' in the Open column and 'AMCV - MBBS - UR - BCB - G - MRC --- 1' in the sliding column, it means you were allotted RMCK (Rangaraya Medical College, Kakinada) in Open category, and you have now slid to AMCV (Andhra Medical College, Visakhapatnam) in your reserved category (BCB).
Important dates and deadlines
The notice does not explicitly state the reporting date or admission deadline. However, based on standard AP NEET-UG counselling practice, you must report for admission at your final allotted college within 3–5 days of the release of this list. Failure to report by the deadline will result in forfeiture of your seat.
Check the official Dr. NTR University website (drntr.uhsap.in) or your email/SMS for the exact reporting date and time. Your admission letter or allotment letter will also specify the deadline.
Do NOT delay. Once the reporting deadline passes, your seat will be cancelled and offered to the next candidate on the waiting list.
- Check the official university website for the exact reporting date
- Report within the deadline specified in your allotment letter
- Bring all original documents on the reporting date
- Pay admission fees on or before the deadline to confirm your seat
Documents you must bring for admission
When you report for admission at your final allotted college, you must bring the following original documents. Missing even one document can result in rejection of your admission.
The notice references G.O. Rt. (EC.) No. 550, Higher Education (EC-2) Department, dated 30.07.2001, and its amendments. This government order specifies the exact documents required. Ensure all certificates are original, not photocopies, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
- NEET admit card (original)
- NEET score card / result certificate (original)
- 10th class certificate or equivalent (original)
- 12th class certificate or equivalent (original)
- Category certificate (original) — issued on or after 30.07.2001 for OBC; as per SC/ST rules for SC/ST
- Local area certificate (if applicable) — issued by the competent authority
- Caste certificate (if applicable) — for SC/ST/OBC candidates
- Income certificate (if required for fee concession)
- Medical fitness certificate (to be obtained from the college medical officer)
- Character certificate from your school or college
- Passport-size photographs (4–6 copies)
- Aadhaar card or any government-issued ID proof
Critical trap: Category certificate validity
⚠️ TRAP: Your category certificate MUST be issued on or after 30.07.2001 (for OBC) or as per SC/ST rules. If your certificate is older than this date, it will be REJECTED, and your admission will be cancelled. This is a strict rule and no exceptions are made.
Many candidates have lost their seats because their category certificate was issued before the prescribed date. Check your certificate NOW. If it is old, apply for a new one immediately from the District Collector's office or the competent authority in your district. Do not wait until the reporting date.
For SC/ST candidates, the certificate must be issued by the competent authority (typically the District Collector or Tahsildar) and must clearly mention your caste name and whether you belong to SC or ST. Certificates that do not clearly state the caste or category will be rejected.
- OBC certificate must be issued on or after 30.07.2001
- SC/ST certificate must follow SC/ST rules and clearly state your caste
- Certificates issued before the prescribed date will be rejected
- Apply for a new certificate NOW if yours is old — do not wait
What happens if you don't report by the deadline?
If you do not report for admission by the deadline specified in your allotment letter, your seat will be automatically cancelled. You will NOT be given a second chance or an extension. Your seat will then be offered to the next candidate on the waiting list.
Once your seat is cancelled, you cannot appeal or request reinstatement. You will lose your MBBS seat for the 2026–27 academic year. Therefore, it is critical that you report on time, even if you are still considering other options or waiting for results from other counselling rounds.
If you have a genuine emergency (medical, family, etc.) that prevents you from reporting on time, contact the university immediately and request an extension in writing. Extensions are rarely granted, but it is worth trying if you have a valid reason.
- Failure to report = automatic seat cancellation
- No second chance or extension (except in rare emergencies)
- Your seat goes to the next candidate on the waiting list
- Contact the university immediately if you have an emergency

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
What does 'MRC sliding' mean?
MRC sliding means that candidates who were initially allotted seats in the Open (unreserved) category have been automatically moved to better colleges within their own reserved category (such as OBC, SC, or ST). This happens after Phase-I allotment based on merit rank and category eligibility. It is an automatic process, not a new round of counselling.
How do I find my name on the list?
Use your NEET hall ticket number to search the list. The list is organized by serial number (SL NO) and contains 822 candidates. You can also search by your name or NEET rank. If you find your entry, note the college code in the 'Slided to better option' column — that is your final allotted college.
What is the difference between my original allotment and my final allotment?
Your original allotment (shown in the 'Alloted Seat in Open Category' column) is the college you were given in Phase-I. Your final allotment (shown in the 'Slided to better option' column) is the college you have now slid to in your reserved category. The final allotment is better because it is in your reserved category, which typically has lower cutoff ranks than the Open category.
When must I report for admission?
The exact reporting date is not stated in this notice. Check your allotment letter, the official Dr. NTR University website, or your email/SMS for the reporting date and time. You must report within the deadline specified — typically 3–5 days after the release of this list. Failure to report will result in cancellation of your seat.
What documents do I need to bring for admission?
Bring all original documents: NEET admit card and score card, 10th and 12th certificates, category certificate (issued on or after 30.07.2001 for OBC), local area certificate (if applicable), caste certificate (for SC/ST/OBC), income certificate (if needed), medical fitness certificate, character certificate, passport photos, and government ID proof. Missing even one document can result in rejection.
My category certificate is older than 30.07.2001. Will it be accepted?
No. Category certificates issued before 30.07.2001 will be rejected. If your certificate is old, apply for a new one immediately from the District Collector's office. Do not wait until the reporting date. This is a strict rule with no exceptions.
What happens if I don't report by the deadline?
Your seat will be automatically cancelled, and you will lose your MBBS admission for 2026–27. Your seat will be offered to the next candidate on the waiting list. There is no second chance or extension (except in rare emergencies). Report on time, no matter what.
Can I reject this allotment and wait for another round?
Once you report for admission and pay fees, you have accepted the seat and cannot reject it. If you do not report by the deadline, your seat is cancelled. There is no option to 'hold' your seat while waiting for another round. Decide now: report for this allotment or lose the seat.
I was allotted a seat in my reserved category in Phase-I. Why am I not on this sliding list?
This list only includes candidates who slid from Open category to reserved category. If you were allotted a seat in your reserved category in Phase-I, you did not slide, so you are not on this list. Check your Phase-I allotment letter to confirm your seat. You must report for admission at that college by the deadline.
My name is not on this list. Does that mean I have not been allotted a seat?
Not necessarily. This list only shows candidates who slid. You may have been allotted a seat in Phase-I (either in Open or reserved category) but did not slide. Check your Phase-I allotment letter. If you have no allotment letter, contact the university counselling cell to confirm your status.
What is the difference between 'UR' and 'OC' in the quota column?
UR stands for 'Unreserved' and OC stands for 'Open Category' — they mean the same thing. Both refer to seats available to all candidates regardless of caste or category. MRC stands for 'Meritorious Reserved Category' — these are seats in your reserved category that you have slid into.
Can I appeal or request a better college if I am not satisfied with my allotment?
No. This is your final allotment after Phase-I and sliding. There is no appeal process for this list. If you are not satisfied, you can only wait for Phase-II counselling (if announced) or accept this allotment. Contact the university if you believe there is an error in your allotment.
If your name is on this Phase-I MRC sliding list, congratulations — your seat has been upgraded to a better college in your reserved category. Check your final allotted college immediately, gather all required original documents, and report for admission by the deadline specified in your allotment letter. Do not delay — failure to report will result in automatic cancellation of your seat. For any questions or clarifications, contact Dr. N.T.R. University of Health Sciences, Vijayawada, or visit the official website drntr.uhsap.in.
