What is this allotment and who is it for?
This allotment is for BDS (dental) seats only, not MBBS. It covers the Competent Authority Quota (CAQ)—the portion of seats that Andhra Pradesh state fills through its own counselling process, independent of the national NEET merit list. If you applied for BDS under CAQ in Andhra Pradesh and participated in the state counselling, your name may appear in one of the college-wise lists released today.
The allotment is for Phase-I, which is the first round of seat allocation. If you do not report by the deadline or if you decline this seat, you may be eligible for Phase-II counselling (if announced), but there is no guarantee of another seat.

The list shows your NEET rank, score, category, local area status, and the exact allotment code (which indicates the college, course, quota, and seat type).

Understanding your allotment code
Your allotment letter will show an allotment code that looks like this: 'ANDV - BDS - UR - OC - F --- 2'. This code tells you important information about your seat. Let's break it down:
**ANDV** = College code (e.g., ANDV for Anil Neerukonda Institute, Visakhapatnam). **BDS** = Course (Bachelor of Dental Surgery). **UR** or **AU** = Quota type: UR = Unreserved (open to all), AU = Andhra Pradesh local area quota. **OC, BC, SC, ST** = Category: OC = Open Category, BC/BCD/BCB/BCA/BCE = Backward Caste subcategories, SC = Scheduled Caste, ST = Scheduled Tribe. **F or G** = Gender: F = Female, G = General/Male. **--- 2** = Your position in the merit list for that college, category, and quota.
- College code identifies your assigned college
- BDS confirms the course
- UR/AU indicates whether you are in open or local area quota
- OC/BC/SC/ST shows your category
- F/G indicates gender-based merit ranking
- The number at the end shows your rank within that cell

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
What is the Competent Authority Quota (CAQ) in BDS admissions?
The Competent Authority Quota is the portion of BDS seats that Andhra Pradesh state fills through its own counselling process, independent of the national NEET merit list. It is separate from the national-level NEET counselling. If you applied for BDS under CAQ in Andhra Pradesh, you participated in state-level counselling, and this allotment is the result of that process.
I cannot find my name in the allotment list. What does this mean?
If your name does not appear in any of the college-wise allotment lists, it means you have not been allotted a seat in Phase-I. This could be because your rank was not sufficient for any available seat, or you did not meet the eligibility criteria for the quota you applied for. You may be eligible for Phase-II counselling if it is announced. Check the university website regularly for Phase-II notifications.
What is the deadline to report to my allotted college, and what happens if I miss it?
The deadline to report to your allotted college is 4:00 PM on 22 September 2026. If you do not report by this time, your seat will be automatically cancelled and offered to the next candidate on the waiting list. You will not be eligible for any refund or adjustment in future phases. Classes have already started on 15 September, so delays will also cause you to miss classes.
The portal will be under maintenance from 18–20 September. When should I download my allotment letter?
Download your allotment letter before 8:00 PM on 18 September 2026 or after 10:00 PM on 20 September 2026. Do not wait until 21–22 September, as technical issues or delays could prevent you from downloading in time. It is best to download as soon as possible after the allotment is released.
What documents do I need to carry when I report to the college?
Carry your allotment letter, NEET admit card, NEET score card, 10th and 12th certificates, Aadhar card, caste certificate (if applicable), local area certificate (if applicable), medical fitness certificate (if required), passport-size photographs, proof of address, and bank details for fee payment. Bring both originals and photocopies; the college will verify originals and retain photocopies.
I filed a grievance during counselling. How do I know if it was accepted or rejected?
The notice states that all grievances have been examined before releasing this final allotment. If your grievance was upheld, your allotment may have changed from the provisional list. If it was rejected, your original allotment stands. Check this final allotment list to see your current status. If you believe there is still an error, contact the university immediately.
Can I defer my admission to the next year if I am allotted a seat now?
The notice does not mention any deferment option. If you do not report by 4:00 PM on 22 September 2026, your seat will be cancelled. If you wish to defer, contact your allotted college and the university immediately to request permission. However, deferment is typically not allowed in medical/dental admissions, and your seat may be forfeited.
What is the allotment code on my letter, and what does it mean?
Your allotment code (e.g., 'ANDV - BDS - UR - OC - F --- 2') tells you: ANDV = college code, BDS = course, UR/AU = quota type (unreserved or local area), OC/BC/SC/ST = your category, F/G = gender, and the number = your rank within that category and quota at that college. This code helps identify your exact seat.
I am allotted to a college far from my home. Can I request a transfer to a college closer to me?
The notice does not mention any provision for seat transfer or change of college after allotment. Once you are allotted a seat, you are expected to report to that college. If you have a genuine hardship, contact the university and your allotted college immediately to request consideration. However, transfers are typically not allowed after allotment.
What happens in Phase-II counselling, and when will it be announced?
Phase-II counselling is conducted for candidates who were not allotted in Phase-I or who did not report to their allotted college. The notice does not provide details about Phase-II. Check the university website (https://drntr.uhsap.in) regularly for Phase-II announcements, which will include dates, eligibility, and the application process.
Your allotment letter is now available on the APUHS portal. Download it immediately (before 8:00 PM on 18 September or after 10:00 PM on 20 September to avoid the maintenance window).
