AP NEET UG 2026-27 Management Quota: 106 Candidates Declared Ineligible for NRI Seats

Dr. N.T.R. University of Health Sciences (NTRUHS), Vijayawada, has published a list of 106 candidates who have been declared **ineligible for NRI category seats** under the Management Quota for MBBS and BDS courses in the 2026-27 admission cycle. These candidates failed document verification after uploading their application materials. The university has given them a critical second chance: if they upload the missing or deficient documents and get them verified before Phase-I counselling begins, their eligibility may be restored. This is not a final rejection — it is a warning to act immediately.

What This List Means

This is a **list of ineligible candidates for NRI category seats only** — not a rejection from the entire counselling process. The 106 candidates named here applied for MBBS or BDS seats under the Management Quota and selected the NRI (Non-Resident Indian) category during registration.

After the university reviewed the documents they uploaded (such as proof of NRI status, educational certificates, and identity documents), it found that their submissions were incomplete, incorrect, or did not meet the NRI eligibility criteria. As a result, they cannot be considered for NRI seats in the current round.

However, the university has explicitly stated that these candidates are **not permanently rejected**. If they upload the required documents and get them verified after Phase-I counselling, they may be considered for further counselling rounds. This means you have a pathway to remain in the admission process — but only if you act now.

Who Is on This List and Why

The list contains 106 candidates with NEET UG 2026 scores ranging from 426 (rank 214,058) down to 184 (rank 1,153,598). Each candidate has a registration ID, NEET roll number, rank, score, name, date of birth, gender, category (OC, OBC, SC, BC, ST), and area of residence (AP or Others).

All candidates on this list applied for **Management Quota seats** — these are seats that private medical and dental colleges fill through their own counselling process, separate from the state's main merit-based counselling. Within Management Quota, some seats are reserved for NRI candidates (foreign nationals or Indian citizens living abroad who meet specific criteria).

The reason for ineligibility is **failure to provide required documents or submission of documents that do not meet NRI eligibility standards**. Common reasons include: missing NRI proof (passport, visa, or foreign residence certificate), incomplete educational certificates, incorrect category certificate format, or documents that do not clearly establish NRI status. The university's note says to check your login for specific remarks about what was missing or wrong in your submission.

Important: Check Your Login for Specific Remarks

The university has explicitly instructed: **'Candidates are advised to check their Login for remarks.'** This is critical. Your counselling portal login will show a detailed remark explaining exactly why your documents were rejected or found deficient. This remark is your roadmap to fixing the problem.

Do not assume you know what went wrong. Log in to the NTRUHS counselling portal immediately, navigate to your application, and read the remarks section carefully. It will tell you which document was missing, which was incorrect, or what specific criterion you failed to meet. Only then can you upload the correct version.

If the remark is unclear or you cannot access your login, contact the NTRUHS counselling helpline or visit the university office in Vijayawada for clarification. Do not delay — the window to upload corrected documents closes after Phase-I counselling.

Your Second Chance: How to Regain Eligibility

The university has stated: **'The candidates who became ineligible due to non submission of required documents are informed that their candidature will be examined for further counsellings subject to uploading deficient documents if any and its verification after Phase-I counselling.'** This means you have a defined process to restore your eligibility.

**Step 1: Identify what is missing.** Log in to your counselling account and read the remarks. Gather the correct documents — whether that is a valid NRI certificate, a corrected category certificate, a passport, a visa, a foreign residence proof, or educational certificates in the required format.

**Step 2: Upload corrected documents.** Once you have the right documents, upload them to your counselling portal. Make sure the file format is correct (usually PDF), the document is clear and legible, and all required information is visible.

**Step 3: Wait for Phase-I counselling to complete.** After Phase-I counselling concludes, the university will verify your newly uploaded documents. If they are found to be correct and complete, your eligibility for NRI seats will be restored, and you will be considered in subsequent counselling rounds.

**Step 4: Participate in further counselling.** Once your eligibility is restored, you will be eligible to participate in Phase-II, Phase-III, or any additional counselling rounds, depending on seat availability and your rank.

What Documents Are Typically Required for NRI Eligibility

To be eligible for NRI category seats, you must prove that you are a Non-Resident Indian. The university requires specific documents to establish this status. While the notice does not list every document type, standard NRI proof includes:

**Proof of NRI status:** A valid passport showing that you hold Indian citizenship, combined with a visa or residence permit from a foreign country (USA, UK, Canada, Australia, UAE, etc.), or a certificate of residence issued by an Indian embassy or consulate abroad. Some universities also accept an Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card.

**Educational certificates:** Your 10th and 12th standard mark sheets and certificates, or equivalent, in the format specified by the university (usually attested copies or originals). These must be issued by the recognized board or school.

**Category certificate:** If you belong to a reserved category (SC, ST, OBC, BC), you must submit a valid category certificate issued by the competent authority in your state of domicile. The certificate must clearly state the category and, for OBC candidates, must include the sub-caste and whether it is in the central or state OBC list.

**NEET admit card and score card:** Proof of your NEET UG 2026 registration and score.

**Identity proof:** Aadhaar, PAN, or voter ID.

If any of these documents were missing or incorrect in your first submission, that is likely why you were marked ineligible. Resubmit them in the correct format and ensure they are clear, complete, and authentic.

Common Reasons for Ineligibility and How to Fix Them

**Missing NRI proof:** If you did not upload a passport, visa, or foreign residence certificate, that is the most common reason for rejection. Solution: Obtain a clear scan or photocopy of your valid passport (showing your name, date of birth, and passport number) and a copy of your current visa or residence permit. If you are abroad, ask your employer or institution to issue a residence certificate, or contact the Indian embassy for an attestation.

**Incorrect or expired NRI documents:** If your passport or visa has expired, or if the documents do not clearly show your current foreign residence, they will be rejected. Solution: Renew your passport or visa if expired. If you are currently in India, you may not qualify as NRI; check the university's definition of NRI status (some universities require continuous residence abroad for a minimum period).

**Category certificate issues:** If your category certificate is missing, expired, or does not match your NEET registration, you will be ineligible. Solution: Obtain a fresh category certificate from the competent authority (District Collector's office or designated authority in your state). Ensure the category name matches exactly what you entered in your NEET registration. For OBC candidates, the certificate must explicitly state whether the caste is in the central or state OBC list.

**Educational certificates in wrong format:** If your 10th and 12th certificates are not attested or are in a format the university does not accept, they will be rejected. Solution: Get your certificates attested by a notary or your school principal. Upload them as clear PDF scans. If the university requires originals, arrange to submit them in person or by courier.

**Incomplete or unclear documents:** If a document is blurry, partially cut off, or missing key information (like your name, date of birth, or certificate number), it will be rejected. Solution: Rescan or rephotograph the document in good lighting, ensuring all text is legible and all four corners are visible. Save as a high-quality PDF.

Timeline: When to Upload and When Verification Happens

The notice does not specify exact dates for document upload or Phase-I counselling. However, it makes clear that the sequence is: **(1) You upload corrected documents now, (2) Phase-I counselling happens, (3) After Phase-I, the university verifies your newly uploaded documents, (4) If verified, you are eligible for Phase-II or later rounds.**

This means you should upload your corrected documents **as soon as possible** — do not wait. The longer you delay, the closer Phase-I counselling gets, and the less time the university has to verify your documents before Phase-I ends. If Phase-I ends before your documents are verified, you will miss that round and can only participate from Phase-II onwards.

To find the exact dates for Phase-I counselling and the document upload deadline, check the NTRUHS counselling portal (drntr.uhsap.in) or contact the university directly. Do not assume dates; always verify from the official source.

What Happens If You Don't Upload Corrected Documents

If you do not upload corrected documents or if you do not get them verified before Phase-I counselling ends, you will remain ineligible for NRI category seats. However, this does **not** mean you are out of the admission process entirely.

Depending on your category and area of residence, you may still be eligible for **other quota seats** — such as state merit seats, state quota seats, or seats reserved for your category (SC, ST, OBC, BC). You will be considered for these seats based on your NEET rank and category, but not for NRI seats.

If you want to pursue MBBS or BDS admission, you should still participate in the counselling process and accept seats offered under other quotas. However, if your goal is specifically to study at a private college under the NRI category (which may have different fee structures or other benefits), then you must upload corrected documents to remain eligible.

Management Quota vs. State Quota: What's the Difference

This list applies only to candidates who applied for **Management Quota seats**. It is important to understand what this means and how it differs from state quota seats.

**Management Quota seats** are filled by private medical and dental colleges through their own counselling process. The college decides who gets these seats, subject to approval by the state and university. Management Quota seats are typically more expensive than state quota seats, and colleges have more flexibility in admissions. Within Management Quota, some seats are reserved for NRI candidates.

**State Quota seats** are filled by the state counselling authority (NTRUHS) based on NEET merit and category. These seats are in both government and private colleges, and the state controls the allocation. If you are ineligible for NRI seats under Management Quota, you can still apply for state quota seats if you meet the eligibility criteria for your category and area.

If you are on this ineligibility list, you should clarify with the college or the university whether you can still participate in state quota counselling or whether your ineligibility for NRI seats affects your eligibility for other quotas. In most cases, ineligibility for NRI seats does not bar you from state quota seats.
