Unlock My College ListWhat is this addendum and why does it matter?
An addendum is a correction or addition to a previously published list. On 10 October 2026, Dr. NTR University displayed a Provisional Final Merit List for Management Quota MBBS and BDS seats. This new addendum, released on 16 October 2026, adds four candidates to that list.
These four candidates were originally marked as 'NRI Lapsed' — meaning they had applied as Non-Resident Indians (NRI) but their NRI status was no longer valid, so they were initially excluded. The university has now reconsidered their eligibility and added them to the merit list. This means the merit list has changed, and if you are waiting for an allotment, your rank position may have shifted.
The four candidates added in this addendum
The addendum lists exactly four candidates. Here is the complete table with their details:
| S.No. | Registration ID | NEET Rank | NEET Score | Candidate Name | Gender | Area | NRI Lapsed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | UG26MQ01016273 | 492300 | 328 | Chennupati Madhavi | Female | AP | YES |
| 2 | UG26MQ01020141 | 711681 | 272 | Marupoodi Chathur | Male | AP | YES |
| 3 | UG26MQ01016331 | 712668 | 272 | Ganjikunta Venkata Hasini | Female | AP | YES |
| 4 | UG26MQ01019981 | 1193699 | 177 | Arnav Gurajala | Male | Others | YES |
What does 'NRI Lapsed' mean?
NRI stands for Non-Resident Indian. When you apply for NEET-UG counselling, you declare whether you are an NRI or an Indian resident. NRI candidates are subject to different rules and quotas in some states, and often have to pay higher fees.
If your NRI status 'lapses', it means it is no longer valid. This can happen if you lose your NRI certificate, if your documentation expires, or if the university determines that you no longer meet the criteria for NRI classification. When NRI status lapses, you are reclassified as a regular candidate and become eligible for the general merit list or other quotas.

In this case, all four candidates had initially applied as NRI but their status lapsed. The university has now added them to the Management Quota merit list, meaning they are now eligible for allotment under that quota.
Who should check this list?
You should check this addendum if:
You applied for NEET-UG 2026 counselling under Management Quota for MBBS or BDS in Andhra Pradesh. You have a registration ID starting with 'UG26MQ' (which indicates Management Quota). You have not yet received an allotment letter. You applied as an NRI but your NRI status may have lapsed or been questioned by the university.
If your registration ID matches one of the four listed above, you are now confirmed on the merit list. If your registration ID does not appear, this addendum does not affect you — continue to refer to the original Provisional Final Merit List displayed on 10 October 2026.
- You applied for Management Quota MBBS or BDS under NEET UG 2026 in Andhra Pradesh
- Your registration ID starts with 'UG26MQ'
- You have not yet received an allotment letter
- You applied as an NRI or your NRI status was questioned
How to find your registration ID
Your registration ID was issued to you when you registered for NEET-UG counselling on the Dr. NTR University portal. It is a unique 12-character code that looks like this: UG26MQ01016273. You should have received it via email or SMS when you completed your registration.
If you have lost your registration ID, log in to the Dr. NTR University counselling portal (https://drntr.uhsap.in) using your NEET roll number and password. Your registration ID will be displayed in your profile. Alternatively, check your email inbox and SMS history for the confirmation message sent during registration.
What happens next if your name is on this list?
If your registration ID appears in this addendum, you are now officially on the Provisional Final Merit List for Management Quota. This means you are eligible for allotment in the next round of counselling.
The next step depends on the counselling schedule. Dr. NTR University will announce the dates for allotment (seat assignment) and joining. You must monitor the university portal regularly for announcements about allotment dates, document verification, and seat acceptance. Do not assume you will automatically receive a seat — you must complete all required steps, including document verification and fee payment, to confirm your admission.

Important: This is an addendum, not a final allotment
Being on the merit list does NOT mean you have been allotted a seat. The merit list is a ranking of eligible candidates. Allotment happens in a separate process, usually in rounds, where seats are assigned based on merit rank, category, and availability.
This addendum updates the merit list as of 16 October 2026. Further changes or corrections may be announced. Always check the official Dr. NTR University portal for the latest updates. Do not rely on this addendum alone — it is part of the ongoing counselling process.
Management Quota explained
Management Quota (also called Management Seats or Private Quota) refers to seats in private medical colleges that are filled by the college's own management, rather than through government counselling. These seats are typically available to candidates who meet the eligibility criteria but may not have ranked high enough in the general merit list.
In Andhra Pradesh, Management Quota seats for MBBS and BDS are still coordinated through Dr. NTR University's counselling portal. Candidates apply, merit lists are prepared, and allotment is done through the official process. However, fees for Management Quota seats are usually higher than government quota seats, and the college has more discretion in seat allocation.
Key dates and what to do now
This addendum was released on 16 October 2026. The original Provisional Final Merit List was displayed on 10 October 2026. No further dates are mentioned in this addendum — the university will announce allotment dates, document verification dates, and joining dates separately.

Common questions about NRI status and lapsed status
If your NRI status has lapsed, you are now treated as a regular candidate for counselling purposes. You will no longer be subject to NRI-specific rules or fees (unless the college decides otherwise). You become eligible for the general merit list and other quotas.
If you believe your NRI status should not have lapsed, or if you have documentation proving your NRI status is still valid, you must contact Dr. NTR University immediately with proof. Do not wait for allotment — raise the issue now. The university's contact details are available on the official portal.

What is this addendum and why was it released?
This addendum, released on 16 October 2026, adds four candidates to the Provisional Final Merit List for Management Quota MBBS and BDS seats. These candidates were originally marked as having lapsed NRI status and were excluded from the merit list displayed on 10 October 2026. The university has now reconsidered their eligibility and added them to the list.
How do I know if my name is in this addendum?
Check the table in this article against your registration ID. Your registration ID is a 12-character code starting with 'UG26MQ' that was issued when you registered for counselling. If your ID matches one of the four listed (UG26MQ01016273, UG26MQ01020141, UG26MQ01016331, or UG26MQ01019981), your name is in the addendum.
What does 'NRI Lapsed' mean?
NRI stands for Non-Resident Indian. If your NRI status 'lapses', it means it is no longer valid — your NRI certificate may have expired, your documentation may be incomplete, or the university may have determined you no longer meet NRI criteria. When NRI status lapses, you are reclassified as a regular candidate and become eligible for the general merit list and other quotas.
If my name is on this list, does that mean I have been allotted a seat?
No. Being on the merit list means you are eligible for allotment, but it does not guarantee a seat. Allotment happens in a separate process, usually in rounds, where seats are assigned based on merit rank, category, and availability. You must wait for the university to announce allotment dates and complete all required steps (document verification, fee payment, etc.) to confirm your admission.
What should I do if my name is in this addendum?
First, verify that your profile on the Dr. NTR University portal reflects this update. Then, monitor the portal daily for announcements about allotment dates, document verification, and joining. Prepare all required documents (NEET admit card, 10th and 12th certificates, caste certificate if applicable, NRI certificate if applicable) in case you are allotted a seat.
What should I do if my name is NOT in this addendum?
This addendum does not affect you. Continue to refer to the original Provisional Final Merit List displayed on 10 October 2026. Monitor the Dr. NTR University portal for further updates and announcements about allotment.
I applied as an NRI but my status lapsed. Can I appeal or provide new documentation?
If you believe your NRI status should not have lapsed, or if you have new documentation proving your NRI status is still valid, contact Dr. NTR University immediately with proof. Do not wait for allotment — raise the issue now. The university's contact details are available on the official portal (https://drntr.uhsap.in).
When will allotment happen?
This addendum does not mention allotment dates. Dr. NTR University will announce the allotment schedule separately. Check the official portal regularly for announcements about allotment dates, document verification, and joining.
Is this addendum final, or could there be more changes?
This addendum updates the merit list as of 16 October 2026. Further changes or corrections may be announced by the university. Always check the official Dr. NTR University portal for the latest updates. Do not rely on this addendum alone — it is part of the ongoing counselling process.
What is Management Quota?
Management Quota refers to seats in private medical colleges that are filled by the college's management rather than through government counselling.

Fees for Management Quota seats are usually higher than government quota seats.
If your registration ID appears in the table above, log in to the Dr. NTR University portal immediately to verify that your profile has been updated.
