Dr. N.T.R. University of Health Sciences, Vijayawada, has released the provisional merit list for MBBS and BDS admissions under the Management Quota for 2026-27. This list shows the ranking of all candidates who applied and whose uploaded certificates have been verified for the B1, B2, and NRI Lapsed categories. The merit list is provisional — candidates must verify their personal details (gender, category, area, minority status, B1/B2 classification, and NRI status) and file any corrections as grievances by 26 September 2026 at 5:00 PM. After this deadline, the list will be finalized and used for seat allocation.
Check your name and details on the provisional merit list immediately; if anything is wrong, submit a grievance with supporting documents by 26 September 5 PM through the online portal — no corrections will be accepted after this deadline.
What is this merit list and why does it matter?
This is the provisional (temporary) ranking of all candidates who applied for MBBS and BDS seats under the Management Quota for the 2026-27 admission year in Andhra Pradesh. The university has verified the certificates you uploaded during application and sorted candidates by their NEET score and rank. The list includes 34 candidates shown in the document, but the full list may be longer.
This merit list is the basis for seat allocation in the next stage of counselling. Your position on this list determines which colleges and courses you are eligible to choose. However, the list is not final — you have a short window to check your details and correct any errors before it becomes official.
Who appears on this merit list?
Candidates who applied for MBBS or BDS seats under the Management Quota and whose uploaded certificates have been verified for the B1, B2, and NRI Lapsed categories appear on this list. The Management Quota is a set of seats that private medical and dental colleges fill through their own counselling process, separate from the state's main counselling.
To be on this list, you must have submitted your application, uploaded all required certificates (such as your NEET scorecard, 10th and 12th mark sheets, caste certificate if applicable, and other documents), and the university must have verified that your documents are in order for the B1, B2, or NRI Lapsed category.
Understanding the columns in the merit list
The merit list shows your Registration ID (the unique number assigned when you applied), your NEET Roll Number, your NEET Rank (your position among all NEET takers nationally), your NEET Score (marks out of 720), and your name. It also displays your gender, category (OC, BC-A, BC-B, BC-D, BC-E, SC, ST, etc.), date of birth, and area (AP for Andhra Pradesh, or Others for outside AP).
The columns 'Muslim Minority', 'Cat-B1', 'Cat-B2', 'NRI', and 'NRI Lapsed' show whether you qualify for these specific classifications. 'YES' means you do; 'NO' means you do not. These classifications affect which seats you can apply for and may influence your ranking in some cases. For example, if you are marked 'YES' for Cat-B1, it means your certificate has been verified as meeting the B1 criteria (typically, a candidate whose parents are both from the same caste and both from Andhra Pradesh).
What details must you verify?
You must carefully check the following details on the merit list: your gender, your category (caste/social status), your area (whether you are from AP or outside), your minority status (Muslim Minority), your B1 classification, your B2 classification, your NRI status, and your NRI Lapsed status. Any error in these fields can affect your eligibility for certain seats and your ranking.
For example, if you are marked as 'OC' (Open Category) but you have a valid SC (Scheduled Caste) certificate, or if you are marked as 'No' for Cat-B1 but you believe you qualify, these are errors that must be corrected. Similarly, if your area is listed as 'Others' but you are a resident of Andhra Pradesh, that must be fixed.
- Gender
- Category (caste/social status classification)
- Area (AP or Others)
- Muslim Minority status
- Cat-B1 classification
- Cat-B2 classification
- NRI status
- NRI Lapsed status
How to file a grievance if your details are wrong
If you find any error in your details on the merit list, you must submit a grievance (a formal complaint with supporting documents) through the online portal. You cannot submit grievances by email, phone, post, or in person — only through the official login portal. To file a grievance, log in to your application account on the portal https://apuhs-ugadmissions.aptonline.in/MBBSMQ/Home/Home and raise a ticket with your correction request and attach the supporting documents (such as your caste certificate, domicile certificate, or other proof).
The grievance must be submitted by 5:00 PM on 26 September 2026. Any grievance received after this time will not be considered. This is a strict deadline — the university will not accept late submissions. Once you submit a grievance, the university will review it and update the merit list if your claim is valid.
- Log in to https://apuhs-ugadmissions.aptonline.in/MBBSMQ/Home/Home using your application credentials
- Raise a ticket describing the error in your details
- Attach supporting documents (caste certificate, domicile, NEET scorecard, etc.)
- Submit by 5:00 PM on 26 September 2026
- Do not submit grievances by email, phone, post, or in person — only through the portal
What documents to attach with your grievance
When you file a grievance, you must attach proper supporting documents to prove your claim. For example, if you are contesting your category, attach a scanned copy of your caste certificate issued by the competent authority. If you are contesting your area (domicile), attach your domicile certificate or proof of residence. If you are contesting your gender or date of birth, attach your 10th standard mark sheet or birth certificate.
The documents must be clear, legible, and in the format accepted by the portal (usually PDF or JPG). Vague or incomplete grievances without supporting documents will not be entertained. The university will verify your documents and decide whether to update your details on the merit list.
- Caste certificate (for category disputes)
- Domicile certificate or proof of residence (for area disputes)
- 10th or 12th mark sheet (for gender, DOB, or name disputes)
- Birth certificate (for date of birth disputes)
- NEET scorecard (for NEET rank or score disputes)
- Any other official document supporting your claim
Important dates and deadlines
The merit list was released on 13 September 2026 (the notification date). You have from 13 September until 26 September 2026 at 5:00 PM to verify your details and file any grievances. This is a 13-day window — do not delay. After 5:00 PM on 26 September, the portal will close and no further grievances will be accepted.
Once the grievance deadline passes, the university will finalize the merit list and proceed to the next stage of counselling (seat allocation). If your grievance is not submitted by the deadline, your details on the provisional list will be treated as final, even if they are incorrect.
- Merit list released: 13 September 2026
- Grievance submission deadline: 26 September 2026 at 5:00 PM
- Grievances submitted after 5:00 PM on 26 September will NOT be considered
- After 26 September, the merit list becomes final
What happens after the grievance deadline?
After 5:00 PM on 26 September 2026, the university will close the grievance portal and review all grievances that were submitted on time. The university will verify the supporting documents and decide which grievances are valid. If your grievance is accepted, your details will be corrected and the merit list will be updated. If your grievance is rejected, your details will remain as they were on the provisional list.
Once all grievances are resolved, the university will release the final merit list. This final list will be used for seat allocation in the Management Quota counselling. Your position on the final merit list determines which colleges and courses you can choose during the seat selection process.
Understanding B1 and B2 categories
B1 and B2 are special classifications used in Andhra Pradesh NEET counselling. B1 typically refers to candidates whose parents are both from the same caste and both from Andhra Pradesh (sometimes called 'creamy layer' or 'non-creamy layer' depending on income). B2 refers to candidates whose parents are from different castes or one parent is from outside Andhra Pradesh. These classifications affect your eligibility for certain reserved seats and may influence your ranking.
If you are marked 'YES' for Cat-B1, it means the university has verified that you meet the B1 criteria based on your uploaded documents. If you are marked 'NO', it means either you do not meet the criteria or your documents were not sufficient to prove it. If you believe you should be marked 'YES' for B1 or B2, you must file a grievance with the relevant supporting documents (such as your parents' caste certificates and domicile certificates).
Understanding NRI and NRI Lapsed categories
NRI stands for Non-Resident Indian. If you are marked 'YES' for NRI, it means you or your parents are classified as NRI for the purpose of this admission. NRI candidates may be eligible for a separate set of seats and may have different fee structures. NRI Lapsed refers to candidates who were previously classified as NRI but have since lost that status (for example, by returning to India and establishing residency).
If you are marked 'YES' for NRI Lapsed, it means the university has verified that you were previously NRI but are no longer classified as such. This classification affects which seats you are eligible for. If you believe your NRI or NRI Lapsed status is incorrectly marked, file a grievance with supporting documents such as your passport, visa, or proof of residency.
Common mistakes that lead to grievance rejection
Many grievances are rejected because candidates do not submit proper supporting documents. For example, if you claim you should be in the SC category but do not attach a valid SC certificate issued by the competent authority, your grievance will be rejected. Similarly, if you claim you are from Andhra Pradesh but do not attach a domicile certificate or proof of residence, your grievance will not be entertained.
Another common mistake is submitting a grievance after the deadline. The university is strict about the 5:00 PM deadline on 26 September — even if you submit at 5:01 PM, your grievance will be rejected. Also, do not submit grievances through email, phone, or in person; the portal is the only accepted method. Finally, ensure your documents are clear and legible; blurry or illegible scans may be rejected.
- Not attaching supporting documents
- Attaching unclear or illegible documents
- Submitting after the 5:00 PM deadline on 26 September
- Submitting through email, phone, or in person instead of the portal
- Not logging in to your application account before raising a ticket
- Submitting a grievance for a detail that is actually correct on the list
What to do if you cannot access the portal
If you are unable to log in to the portal or face technical issues while submitting your grievance, contact the university's technical support immediately. However, note that the university will not extend the deadline due to technical problems on your end. It is your responsibility to ensure you submit your grievance well before the 5:00 PM deadline on 26 September. Do not wait until the last minute.
If you have forgotten your login credentials, use the 'Forgot Password' option on the portal to reset them. If you continue to face issues, reach out to the university's helpline or support email as soon as possible. Keep a record of any technical issues you encounter, as this may help if you need to appeal a rejected grievance later.

What is the provisional merit list and why is it not final?
The provisional merit list is a ranking of all candidates who applied for MBBS/BDS under the Management Quota and whose certificates have been verified for B1, B2, and NRI categories. It is provisional because the university has not yet reviewed any grievances or corrections. Candidates have until 26 September 5 PM to report errors in their details. Once grievances are resolved, the list becomes final.
How do I check if my name is on the merit list?
The merit list is published by Dr. NTR University and contains 34 candidates shown in the document (though the full list may be longer). You can search for your name, NEET roll number, or registration ID in the list. If you cannot find your name, it may mean your application was not processed, your certificates were not verified, or you applied for a different quota. Contact the university for clarification.
What should I do if my details on the merit list are wrong?
Log in to https://apuhs-ugadmissions.aptonline.in/MBBSMQ/Home/Home, raise a ticket describing the error, attach supporting documents (such as your caste certificate, domicile, or 10th mark sheet), and submit by 5:00 PM on 26 September 2026. Do not submit grievances by email or phone — only through the portal. The university will review your grievance and update your details if valid.
What is the deadline for submitting grievances?
The deadline is 5:00 PM on 26 September 2026. Any grievance submitted after this time will not be considered. This is a strict deadline — the university will not accept late submissions or extend the deadline. Submit your grievance well before the deadline to avoid missing it.
What documents do I need to attach with my grievance?
Attach documents that support your claim. For category disputes, attach your caste certificate. For area/domicile disputes, attach your domicile certificate or proof of residence. For gender or date of birth disputes, attach your 10th mark sheet or birth certificate. For NRI status disputes, attach your passport or visa. All documents must be clear, legible, and in PDF or JPG format.
What does 'Cat-B1' and 'Cat-B2' mean on the merit list?
B1 and B2 are classifications used in Andhra Pradesh counselling. B1 typically means both your parents are from the same caste and both from Andhra Pradesh. B2 means your parents are from different castes or one is from outside AP. These classifications affect your eligibility for certain reserved seats. If you are marked 'YES' for B1 or B2, it means the university has verified you meet that criteria. If marked 'NO', you do not meet it or your documents were insufficient.
What does 'NRI Lapsed' mean?
NRI Lapsed refers to candidates who were previously classified as Non-Resident Indian (NRI) but have since lost that status, typically by returning to India and establishing residency. If you are marked 'YES' for NRI Lapsed, the university has verified this status. This classification affects which seats you are eligible for and may influence your fee structure.
Can I submit a grievance by email or phone?
No. Grievances must be submitted only through the online portal at https://apuhs-ugadmissions.aptonline.in/MBBSMQ/Home/Home by raising a ticket through your application login. Grievances submitted by email, phone, post, or in person will not be considered. The portal is the only accepted method.
What happens if my grievance is rejected?
If your grievance is rejected, your details on the provisional merit list will remain unchanged and will be treated as final. You will not be able to submit another grievance after the 26 September deadline. If you believe the rejection was unfair, you may be able to appeal, but this depends on the university's appeal policy, which is not detailed in this notice.
When will the final merit list be released?
The notice does not specify when the final merit list will be released. It will be released after the university reviews all grievances submitted by 26 September 5 PM and makes corrections. Once the final list is released, it will be used for seat allocation in the Management Quota counselling. Check the university's website regularly for updates.
What is the Management Quota and how is it different from the main counselling?
The Management Quota is a set of seats in private medical and dental colleges that are filled through a separate counselling process, independent of the state's main counselling. Management Quota seats are typically filled by the colleges themselves or through a dedicated counselling portal. This merit list is specifically for Management Quota admissions, not for the state's main NEET counselling.
If I am on this merit list, am I guaranteed a seat?
No. Being on the merit list means you are eligible to participate in the Management Quota seat allocation process. Your final seat allocation depends on your rank on the merit list, the number of seats available, your choices during seat selection, and the college's policies. A higher rank generally improves your chances, but there is no guarantee of a seat.
Check the merit list immediately to verify your details. If you find any error in your gender, category, area, minority status, B1/B2 classification, or NRI status, log in to https://apuhs-ugadmissions.aptonline.in/MBBSMQ/Home/Home and submit a grievance with supporting documents by 5:00 PM on 26 September 2026. Do not delay — this is a strict deadline, and no grievances will be accepted after this time. Once the deadline passes, the merit list will be finalized and used for seat allocation.
