Dr. N.T.R. University of Health Sciences (NTRUHS), Vijayawada, has released the provisional merit list of 200 candidates who have been verified after uploading their certificates for MBBS and BDS admissions under the Management Quota for 2026-27. This list is based on NEET UG 2026 scores and ranks, and includes candidates from Andhra Pradesh and other states. The merit position determines the order in which candidates will be called for counselling and seat allotment. If your name appears on this list, you are eligible to proceed to the next stage of the admission process.
Your position on this merit list is provisional and depends on your category certificate being valid; verify your registration ID, NEET rank, category, and Muslim minority status immediately.

Unlock My College ListWhat is this merit list and why does it matter?
This is the provisional merit position of candidates who applied for MBBS and BDS seats under the Management Quota in Andhra Pradesh for the 2026-27 academic session. The university has verified the certificates uploaded by all applicants and ranked them based on their NEET UG 2026 scores and ranks.
The merit list contains 200 candidates ranked from position 1 to 200. Your position on this list determines the order in which you will be called for counselling and seat allotment. A higher rank (lower number) means you will get your choice of college and course earlier. This list is provisional, meaning it may change if any candidate's documents are found to be invalid or if appeals are filed and upheld.
How to find your name on the list
The merit list is organized by serial number (S.No.) from 1 to 200. Each row shows a candidate's registration ID, NEET roll number, NEET rank, NEET score, name, gender, category, date of birth, area (AP or Others), Muslim minority status, and category certificate verification status (Cat-B1 and Cat-B2 columns).
To find yourself: (1) Look for your registration ID (starts with UG26MQ) in the list. (2) Verify that your NEET roll number, name, and date of birth match exactly. (3) Check your NEET rank and score. (4) Note your merit position (the S.No. column). If you cannot find your name, it means either your application was not submitted, your certificates were not uploaded, or your documents failed verification.
- Registration ID: Your unique application number (format: UG26MQ01XXXXXX)
- NEET Roll No: Your official NEET exam roll number
- NEET Rank: Your all-India NEET rank
- NEET Score: Your total NEET marks out of 720
- Category: Your caste/community category (OC, BC-A, BC-B, BC-C, BC-D, BC-E, SC G-II, SC G-III, ST, OBC)
Understanding the category columns: Cat-B1 and Cat-B2
The two columns labeled 'Cat-B1' and 'Cat-B2' show the status of your category certificate verification. These are critical: if either shows 'NO', your category claim has not been verified, and you may not be eligible for category-based reservation.
Cat-B1 typically refers to the first stage of category certificate verification (checking if the certificate exists and is in the correct format). Cat-B2 refers to the second stage (checking if the certificate is valid, issued by the correct authority, and shows the correct sub-group where applicable). Both must show 'YES' for your category to be confirmed. If either shows 'NO', you will be considered in the Open Category (OC) for counselling, even if you applied under a reserved category. This is a major trap—many candidates lose their category reservation at this stage.
- YES in both Cat-B1 and Cat-B2 = Your category is verified and confirmed
- NO in either column = Your category certificate has failed verification; you will be treated as Open Category
- This status is provisional and may change if you file an appeal with supporting documents

What does 'Muslim Minority' status mean?
The 'Muslim Minority' column shows 'YES' or 'NO'. If it shows 'YES', it means you have been recognized as belonging to a religious minority (Muslim) and may be eligible for minority-based reservations or quotas in certain colleges, depending on the institution's policy. If it shows 'NO', you are not eligible for such reservations.
This status is separate from your caste category. For example, you can be both SC (Scheduled Caste) and Muslim Minority, or OC (Open Category) and Muslim Minority. The university uses this information to determine which seats you are eligible for during counselling.
- YES = You are recognized as Muslim Minority; eligible for minority quota seats if applicable
- NO = You are not recognized as Muslim Minority; not eligible for minority quota seats
What is 'NRI Lapsed Seat' status?
The 'NRI Lapsed Seat' column shows 'YES' or 'NO'. This indicates whether you are eligible to be considered for NRI (Non-Resident Indian) lapsed seats. NRI lapsed seats are seats that were initially reserved for NRI candidates but were not filled by them and have now lapsed back into the general pool for Indian citizens.
If this column shows 'YES', you may be eligible for these seats during counselling. If it shows 'NO', you are not eligible. This status depends on your residential status and citizenship as declared in your NEET application.
- YES = You are eligible for NRI lapsed seats
- NO = You are not eligible for NRI lapsed seats
Critical trap: Category certificate verification failures
Many candidates on this list have 'NO' in the Cat-B1 or Cat-B2 columns. This is a major problem. If your category certificate has not been verified, you will NOT get the benefit of your reserved category during counselling. Instead, you will be ranked and allotted seats as if you are in the Open Category, which is much more competitive.
Common reasons for category certificate rejection: (1) Certificate issued by wrong authority (e.g., issued by a municipal corporation instead of the district collector). (2) Certificate does not show the required sub-group (e.g., SC G-II vs SC G-III). (3) Certificate is too old or does not meet the date requirements set by the state. (4) Certificate is not in the prescribed format. (5) Certificate was not uploaded or was uploaded in the wrong format (not PDF, or image quality too poor to read).
If your category certificate has failed verification, you have the right to appeal. You must submit the correct certificate and supporting documents to the university within the appeal period (if one is announced). Do not assume your category is lost—act immediately if you see 'NO' in either Cat-B1 or Cat-B2.
- Check both Cat-B1 and Cat-B2 columns immediately
- If either shows 'NO', your category is not verified
- You will be treated as Open Category during counselling
- File an appeal with the correct certificate if you believe the rejection is wrong
- Keep the original certificate and all supporting documents ready

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
I found my name on the merit list. What does this mean?
It means your application for Management Quota MBBS/BDS seats has been accepted and your documents have been verified. You are now eligible to participate in counselling. Your position on the list (the S.No.) determines the order in which you will be called for counselling. A lower number means you will get to choose your college and course earlier.
My category certificate shows 'NO' in the Cat-B1 or Cat-B2 column. What should I do?
This means your category certificate has failed verification. You will be treated as Open Category during counselling, which is much more competitive. You should immediately file an appeal with the correct category certificate and supporting documents. The university will announce an appeal period (usually 2–3 days) after this provisional list is released. Act quickly—appeals filed after the deadline will not be accepted.
I am from another state, not Andhra Pradesh. Can I still get a seat?
Yes, if your name is on this merit list, you are eligible for Management Quota seats. The 'Area' column shows whether you are from AP or another state. However, some colleges may have state-specific policies or quotas. Check the college's prospectus and the counselling notification for any state-based restrictions. Management Quota seats are typically open to candidates from all states.
What is the difference between this provisional merit list and the final merit list?
The provisional merit list is released after initial document verification. Candidates can then file appeals if they believe their documents were wrongly rejected. After the appeal period closes and appeals are decided, the final merit list is released. Your position may change if your appeal is successful. Counselling begins only after the final merit list is published.
I did not find my name on this list. What does it mean?
It could mean: (1) You did not submit your application for Management Quota. (2) You submitted the application but did not upload your certificates. (3) Your certificates were uploaded but failed verification. (4) Your application was rejected for not meeting eligibility criteria. Check your email and the NTRUHS portal for any rejection notifications. If you believe your application was submitted, contact the university immediately.
What is the 'Muslim Minority' column for?
This column indicates whether you have been recognized as belonging to a religious minority (Muslim). If it shows 'YES', you may be eligible for minority-based reservations or quotas in certain colleges. If it shows 'NO', you are not eligible for such reservations. This status is separate from your caste category and is used by colleges to determine seat eligibility.
Can my position on the merit list change after this provisional list is released?
Yes, your position can change if: (1) You file a successful appeal and your category is verified (your position may improve). (2) Other candidates file appeals and their positions change (your relative position may shift). (3) The university discovers errors in the list and corrects them. The final merit list, released after the appeal period, will show the final positions.
When will counselling begin?
The provisional merit list does not specify the counselling date. The university will announce the counselling schedule separately, usually within a few days after the final merit list is released. Check the NTRUHS website (drntr.uhsap.in) regularly for the counselling notification. Counselling typically begins within 1–2 weeks of the final merit list release.
What documents do I need to bring for counselling?
You must bring all original documents including: NEET admit card and score card, 10th and 12th certificates, category certificate (if applicable), domicile certificate (if applicable), medical fitness certificate, character certificate, passport or Aadhaar card, and any other documents mentioned in the counselling notification. Missing documents can result in your seat being cancelled.
Is this merit list only for MBBS, or does it include BDS as well?
This merit list is for both MBBS and BDS courses under the Management Quota. During counselling, you will be asked to choose your preferred course (MBBS or BDS) and colleges. Your choice will depend on your merit position and the availability of seats in each course at each college.
What is the difference between Management Quota and other quotas?
Management Quota seats are filled directly by colleges and are typically more expensive than government-funded seats. Other quotas, such as Competent Authority Quota (CAQ) or government seats, are filled through government counselling and have lower fees. This merit list is only for Management Quota. If you applied for other quotas, you will have separate merit lists and counselling schedules.
I have a low NEET score but I am on this merit list. Does this mean I will definitely get a seat?
Being on the merit list means you are eligible to participate in counselling, but it does not guarantee a seat. The number of seats available is limited. Your chances of getting a seat depend on your merit position, your category, your choice of college and course, and the availability of seats. Candidates with higher merit positions get priority in choosing seats.
If your name appears on this provisional merit list, verify your registration ID, NEET rank, category verification status (Cat-B1 and Cat-B2), and merit position immediately. If your category certificate shows 'NO' in either column, prepare to file an appeal with the correct documents as soon as the appeal period is announced. Keep all original documents ready for counselling. Monitor the NTRUHS website (drntr.uhsap.in) for announcements on the appeal period, final merit list, and counselling schedule—these will be released within the next few days.
