Dr. N.T.R. University of Health Sciences (NTRUHS), Vijayawada has released the college-wise provisional result for BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) admission under Phase-III of the Competent Authority Quota (CQ) for the 2026–27 academic session. This is a critical milestone in the AP NEET-UG counselling process. The provisional result is now live on the university website and shows which college each candidate has been tentatively allotted. However, this result is not final—candidates have a very short window to report any errors or discrepancies. Any grievance must be submitted through the candidate's login portal by 10:00 AM on 23 October 2026. After that deadline, the provisional result will be locked and treated as final, and no further challenges will be accepted.
Check your BDS Phase-III provisional allotment immediately; report any errors via your login by 10 AM on 23 October 2026, or lose the chance to correct them.

Unlock My College ListWhat is this provisional result?
The provisional result is a college-wise allotment list showing which BDS seat has been tentatively assigned to each candidate under Phase-III of the Competent Authority Quota. The Competent Authority Quota (CQ) is a set of seats that the Andhra Pradesh government fills through its own counselling process, separate from the main merit-based counselling. Phase-III is the third round of seat allocation in this quota.
This provisional result is based on your NEET UG 2026 rank, score, category, and local area eligibility. It shows your name, NEET rank, NEET roll number, score, category, local area status, and the college and course code you have been allotted. The allotment details column also indicates the specific seat type (e.g., UR for Unreserved, OC for Open Category, or category-specific seats).
The result is 'provisional' because it is subject to verification and correction. Candidates must check it carefully for any errors before it becomes final.
How to access your provisional result
Your provisional result is available on the official NTRUHS counselling portal. You must log in using your credentials (NEET roll number and password or other login details you used during registration) to view your allotment.

A discrepancy is any error in the result—for example, if your name is spelled wrong, your rank or score is incorrect, your category is wrongly shown, your local area status is wrong, or you believe you should have been allotted a different college based on your rank and eligibility.
Do not wait until the last moment. Check your result as soon as possible and submit your grievance immediately if you spot any error. The university will not accept grievances submitted after 10 AM on 23 October 2026, and you will have no recourse once the result is final.

How to submit a grievance
Grievances must be submitted through your candidate login on the NTRUHS portal. You cannot submit a grievance by email, phone, letter, or any other method. The notice explicitly states: 'Grievances received / submitted in any other mode other than from the candidate's login will not be considered / entertained.' This means if you submit a grievance by any means other than the online portal, it will be rejected.
Log in to your account, navigate to the grievance or complaint section, and describe the discrepancy you have found. Be specific: state exactly what is wrong (e.g., 'My category is shown as OC but I am SC' or 'My allotted college is GDCK but based on my rank I should be eligible for ANDV'). Provide clear details so the university can investigate and correct the error.
Submit your grievance well before 10 AM on 23 October 2026. Do not assume the system will accept submissions up to 10 AM; submit several hours earlier to avoid any technical delays or last-minute issues.
- Log in to https://apuhs-ugadmissions.aptonline.in/MBBS/Home/Home
- Go to the grievance or complaint section
- Describe the discrepancy clearly and specifically
- Submit before 10 AM on 23 October 2026
- Do NOT submit by email, phone, letter, or any other method—only via the portal
What happens after the deadline?
Once 10 AM on 23 October 2026 passes, the provisional result will be declared 'Final'. This means the allotment is locked and no further changes will be made. The university will then proceed to the next steps: issuing allotment letters and setting a date for candidates to report to their allotted colleges.
The notice emphasizes that the final result cannot be challenged in court. This is a standard provision in counselling procedures—once the result is finalized, candidates have no legal recourse to challenge it in a court of law. Your only opportunity to correct errors is during the grievance window before 10 AM on 23 October 2026.
After the final result is declared, you must download your allotment letter from the university website and approach your allotted college only after receiving this letter. Do not visit the college before the final result is declared or before you have downloaded your allotment letter.
- Provisional result becomes final at 10 AM on 23 October 2026
- No further corrections or grievances will be accepted
- The final result cannot be challenged in court
- Wait for the final result declaration and allotment letter before visiting your college
- Download your allotment letter from the university website before reporting to the college
Important: This is a provisional result only
The notice makes clear that the provisional result is 'only indicative in nature and subject to change.' This means that even though you see an allotment, you do not yet have a confirmed right to that seat. The allotment is provisional and may be modified if errors are found or if the university's verification process reveals any issues.
You cannot claim any right over the allotted seat based on the provisional result alone. Your right to the seat is confirmed only after the final result is declared and you have received your allotment letter.
This is why it is critical to check the provisional result carefully and report any errors immediately. If there is an error in your provisional allotment and you do not report it by the deadline, you may end up with an incorrect final allotment, and you will have no remedy.
- Provisional result is indicative only and subject to change
- You do not have a confirmed right to the seat yet
- Right to the seat is confirmed only after the final result and allotment letter
- Report all errors before 10 AM on 23 October 2026 to ensure correct final allotment

Understanding your allotment details
Your allotment details will show a code like 'ANDV - BDS - UR - OC - F --- 3' or 'GDCK - BDS - AU - SC3 - G --- 2'. Let's break this down: The first part (e.g., ANDV, GDCK) is the college code. BDS indicates the course (Bachelor of Dental Surgery). The next part (UR, AU, SVU, APNL) indicates the local area quota—UR means Unreserved (pan-India), AU means Andhra Pradesh local, SVU means Sri Venkateswara University local, APNL means AP Non-Local. The next part (OC, SC, ST, BC, etc.) is your category. The final numbers and letters indicate the specific seat number and round.
For example, 'GDCK - BDS - AU - SC3 - G --- 2' means: Government Dental College Kadapa, BDS course, Andhra Pradesh local quota, SC3 category, seat G, round 2. If your allotment shows 'ANDV - BDS - UR - OC - F --- 3', it means Anil Neerukonda Institute Visakhapatnam, BDS, Unreserved quota, Open Category, seat F, round 3.
Check that your category and local area status match your eligibility. If you are SC but the allotment shows OC, or if you are AU (AP local) but it shows APNL, report it immediately as a discrepancy.
- College code (e.g., ANDV, GDCK, GDCV, GITV, GPRK, GSLR, KDCA, LIDR, NDCN, NIDS, SIBG, SJDE, SNDC, SSDC, VDCB)
- Course: BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery)
- Local area quota: UR (Unreserved), AU (AP local), SVU (SVU local), APNL (AP Non-Local)
- Category: OC (Open), SC, ST, BC (A, B, C, D, E), or other reserved categories
- Seat number and round indicator
Common errors to check for
Review your provisional allotment carefully for these common errors: (1) Name spelling—is your name spelled correctly? (2) NEET rank and score—do they match your actual NEET result? (3) Category—is your category correct? If you are SC/ST/BC, check that the correct sub-category is shown (e.g., SC3, BCA, BCB). (4) Local area status—are you shown as AU (AP local) if you are eligible, or incorrectly as APNL (AP Non-Local)? (5) College allotment—based on your rank and category, is the college reasonable, or does it seem too low or too high? (6) Seat type—is the seat type (UR, OC, category-specific) correct for your eligibility?
If you spot any of these errors, do not assume the university will correct it automatically. Submit a grievance immediately via the portal, clearly stating what is wrong and what the correct information should be. Provide your NEET roll number and any supporting documents (e.g., your NEET admit card, category certificate) if needed.
- Name spelling and spelling of father's/mother's name
- NEET rank and NEET score
- Category (OC, SC, ST, BC, etc.) and sub-category if applicable
- Local area status (AU, SVU, APNL, UR)
- College allotment (is it reasonable for your rank?)
- Seat type and seat number
What to do after the final result is declared

You must download your allotment letter from the university website. This letter is your proof of allotment and is required when you report to your college.

Do not visit the college before you have the allotment letter.
