If you're a NEET UG 2026 candidate from Andhra Pradesh, a new document just landed on the Dr NTR University of Health Sciences (NTRUHS) website that you should know about — an All India Rank-wise qualified list of AP candidates, released on July 31, 2026. This isn't your final counselling rank, but it is the first concrete sign that the machinery for AP's state quota MBBS and BDS admissions for 2026-27 has started moving. NTRUHS built this list using data it received from the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), the central body that shares NEET results with states. For anyone hoping to study medicine or dentistry in Andhra Pradesh through the 85% state quota, this is a checkpoint worth understanding — and acting on — even though it changes nothing about your eligibility on its own.
This rank-wise list only confirms your NEET UG 2026 data has reached Andhra Pradesh — it is not the state merit list, so you still need to wait for NTRUHS's official merit list and counselling registration notification before you can do anything about choice filling.
What NTRUHS actually released
NTRUHS, the university responsible for allotting Andhra Pradesh's 85% state quota MBBS and BDS seats, has put out a list of NEET UG 2026 qualified candidates sorted by their All India Rank (AIR). The list is available on the official portal drntr.uhsap.in and was published on July 31, 2026.
The data behind this list came from DGHS, Government of India — essentially the national NEET results feed that state authorities use to build their own state-specific lists. NTRUHS has been clear that this document is meant for information only, to let students and parents know their data has been received and processed at the state level.

Why this is not your final merit list
It's important not to over-read this release. NTRUHS itself has said this rank-wise list precedes — and is separate from — the actual AP state merit list that will be used for counselling and choice filling.
Only names that appear in that later, formal merit list will be allowed to register and participate in seat allocation. Being present in this rank-wise list simply means your NEET data has arrived at the state level; it does not confirm your local status, category, or eligibility for a state quota seat.
In short: this is a data-confirmation step, not an admission milestone. Don't celebrate or panic based on where you sit in this list — the numbers that matter for counselling will come later, in the state merit list.
How to check your name and rank
The process is straightforward and doesn't require any login or fee.

- Open the linked PDF titled 'NEET UG 2026 Rank Wise Qualified List'

Who can actually apply for AP state quota seats
Eligibility for AP's 85% state quota counselling depends on two things beyond qualifying NEET UG: meeting the state's local status criteria (as defined under the Andhra Pradesh Educational Institutions Rules), and satisfying the standard academic requirements for MBBS/BDS admission set by the Medical Council framework.
Simply appearing on this rank-wise list, or even on the eventual state merit list, does not guarantee a seat. A seat is only confirmed after you register for counselling, participate in choice filling, and get allotted a seat that you then report to and confirm.
What AP candidates should do right now
With counselling registration expected to open soon, this is the right time to get your paperwork in order rather than wait for the last moment.
- Verify your name, roll number, and AIR against the rank-wise list on drntr.uhsap.in
- Keep your NEET UG 2026 scorecard and Class 10 and 12 marksheets ready in both digital and physical form
- Arrange your local status certificate, since AP's rules require proof of eligibility for the state quota
- If you plan to claim reservation, prepare caste, income, and PwD certificates (as applicable) in advance
- Check drntr.uhsap.in regularly — daily, if possible — for the counselling registration notification and fee details

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
Does being on the AP NEET UG 2026 rank-wise list mean I have a seat?
No. This list only shows that your NEET UG 2026 data has been received by NTRUHS from DGHS. It has no bearing on whether you get a seat — that depends on the separate state merit list and the counselling process.
Where can I download the list?
It is available on the official NTRUHS website, drntr.uhsap.in, under the notification dated July 31, 2026.
What is the difference between this list and the AP state merit list?
This rank-wise list is a preliminary, informational document based on national NEET data. The state merit list, released separately by NTRUHS, is the actual list used to allow candidates into counselling and choice filling.
What quota does this cover?
It relates to the 85% Andhra Pradesh state quota for MBBS and BDS seats for the 2026-27 academic year, administered by NTRUHS.
What documents should I prepare now?
Keep your NEET UG 2026 scorecard, Class 10 and 12 marksheets, local status certificate, and any category certificates (caste, income, PwD) ready ahead of counselling registration.
When will AP counselling registration open?
NTRUHS is expected to announce the registration schedule and fee shortly; no exact date has been confirmed yet. Candidates should monitor drntr.uhsap.in for the official notice.
What if my name is not in the rank-wise list?
Since this is a preliminary, informational list, absence from it isn't necessarily disqualifying, but you should watch for updates and confirm your status once the formal state merit list is published.
For now, AP NEET aspirants have one clear job: confirm your details on this rank-wise list, get your documents in order, and keep an eye on drntr.uhsap.in for the counselling registration notification. MedAdmit will track and cover the AP state merit list and counselling schedule as soon as NTRUHS releases them.
