What is the Provisional Merit Position List?
The Provisional Merit Position list is the official ranking of all NEET UG 2026 candidates who have applied for MBBS and BDS counselling in Andhra Pradesh. It is prepared by Dr. N.T.R. University of Health Sciences based on your NEET score, category, and other eligibility criteria. This list determines the order in which you will be called for seat allocation during the counselling rounds.
The word 'provisional' means this is not yet final. The university may make corrections if errors are found, or if candidates file objections. However, this is the list that will be used to begin the counselling process, so your position in it is critical. Once you verify your details and confirm there are no errors, the list will move toward finalization.
Who Should Check This List?
Every candidate who appeared for NEET UG 2026 and submitted an application for MBBS or BDS counselling in Andhra Pradesh must check this list. This includes candidates from all categories — General, OBC, SC, ST, and those with disabilities. Whether you applied for MBBS, BDS, or both, your name should appear in this provisional merit position list.
- Candidates who appeared for NEET UG 2026
- Candidates who registered and applied for AP MBBS/BDS counselling
- All category candidates (General, OBC, SC, ST, PWD)
What Information Will You Find in the List?
The provisional merit position list contains essential details about each candidate. You will see your NEET roll number, name, NEET score, category, and most importantly, your merit rank or position. This rank determines the order in which seats will be offered to you during counselling. The list is organized by merit rank, so candidates with higher NEET scores appear higher in the list.
- Your NEET roll number
- Your name as registered
- Your NEET score
- Your category (General, OBC, SC, ST, PWD)
- Your merit position/rank
- Your eligibility status for counselling
How to Access the Provisional Merit List
The provisional merit position list has been published by Dr. N.T.R. University of Health Sciences on its official counselling portal. You can access it directly from the NTRUHS website at drntr.uhsap.in. The list is available as a downloadable document or searchable database, depending on how the university has formatted it.
To find your name and rank, you will need your NEET roll number or registration number. Search for your details carefully and note down your merit position. If the portal allows, you may also download or print the list for your records.
- Visit the official NTRUHS portal: drntr.uhsap.in
- Look for the 'Provisional Merit Position' or 'Merit List' link
- Search using your NEET roll number or registration number
- Verify all your details carefully
- Download or print the document for reference
What to Check in Your Entry
When you find your name in the list, do not just glance at it. Carefully verify every detail. Check that your name is spelled correctly, your NEET score matches your admit card, your category is correct, and your merit rank is shown. Any error here could affect your counselling and seat allocation. If you notice a mistake, you must report it immediately — do not wait until counselling begins.
Pay special attention to your category. If you applied under SC, ST, OBC, or PWD category, confirm that the list shows the correct category. Category errors are common and can disqualify you from reserved seats or wrongly place you in a category you do not belong to. If your category is wrong, this is a trap that must be fixed before counselling.
- Your full name (spelling and format)
- Your NEET score (matches your admit card)
- Your category (General, OBC, SC, ST, PWD)
- Your merit rank/position
- Your eligibility status
- Your registration number
What If You Find an Error?
If you spot any discrepancy — a wrong name, incorrect score, wrong category, or missing entry — you must report it to NTRUHS immediately. The university will have a specified window (usually a few days) during which candidates can file objections or corrections. Do not ignore errors hoping they will be fixed later. Errors in the merit list can result in your rejection during counselling or allocation to the wrong category.
To file an objection, follow the process outlined by the university on its portal. You will typically need to submit proof of the error (your NEET admit card, category certificate, etc.) and a written request for correction. Keep all your original documents ready. The university will review your objection and issue a corrected entry if valid.
- Report errors within the objection window (check the portal for dates)
- Provide proof: NEET admit card, category certificate, or other relevant documents
- Submit a written request with clear details of the error
- Keep copies of all submissions for your records
- Follow up with the university if you do not receive a response
What Happens After the Provisional List?
After the provisional merit position list is published and the objection window closes, the university will review all objections and corrections. Once this is done, a final merit list will be released. The final list will be used to conduct the actual counselling rounds, where seats are allocated based on your merit rank, category, and choices.
Between the provisional and final list, there may be a gap of a few days to a week. During this time, do not assume your position is final. Keep checking the portal for updates. Once the final list is released, counselling will begin according to a schedule that the university will announce separately.
- Objection window closes (check portal for exact date)
- University reviews all objections and corrections
- Final merit list is released
- Counselling schedule is announced
- Counselling rounds begin based on merit rank
Important Traps and Common Mistakes
Many candidates make critical errors when checking the merit list. The most common mistake is not verifying the category. If you applied under a reserved category (SC, ST, OBC, PWD) but the list shows you as General, or vice versa, your entire counselling will be affected. You may lose access to reserved seats or be wrongly placed. Always cross-check your category certificate with the list entry.
Another trap is ignoring a missing or incorrect NEET score. If the score shown does not match your admit card, report it immediately. Some candidates also miss the objection deadline because they assume errors will be corrected automatically — they will not. The objection window is usually short (3-7 days), so act fast. Finally, do not assume you are ineligible if you do not see your name immediately. The list may be very long; search carefully using your roll number.
- ⚠️ Category mismatch — verify your category matches your certificate
- ⚠️ Score discrepancy — confirm NEET score matches your admit card
- ⚠️ Missing objection deadline — report errors within the specified window
- ⚠️ Assuming automatic correction — errors are NOT fixed without your objection
- ⚠️ Not searching thoroughly — use your roll number to find your entry
What You Must Do Right Now
Do not delay. Visit the NTRUHS portal immediately and search for your name in the provisional merit position list. Print or download the document. Verify every detail against your NEET admit card and category certificate. If everything is correct, keep the document safe for counselling. If you find any error, prepare your objection with supporting documents and submit it within the deadline shown on the portal.
Keep checking the portal regularly for updates on the final merit list and counselling schedule. The university will announce the next steps — usually the final list, counselling dates, and the process for seat allocation. Do not miss any announcement. Your admission depends on staying informed and acting promptly.

Where can I find the provisional merit position list?
The provisional merit position list for MBBS and BDS 2026-27 has been published by Dr. N.T.R. University of Health Sciences on its official portal at drntr.uhsap.in. You can access it directly from the counselling section of the website. Search for your name using your NEET roll number or registration number.
What does 'provisional' mean? Will the list change?
Provisional means the list is not yet final. The university may make corrections if candidates file objections or if errors are found. After the objection window closes and corrections are made, a final merit list will be released. This final list will be used for actual counselling and seat allocation.
I cannot find my name in the list. What should I do?
First, search carefully using your NEET roll number — the list may be very long and your name might not appear on the first page. If you still cannot find your name after a thorough search, contact NTRUHS immediately. It is possible there was an error in your application registration. Do not wait; report this to the university right away.
My category in the list is wrong. How do I correct it?
If your category is incorrect, file an objection with the university within the specified window (usually a few days after the list is published). Submit your category certificate and a written request for correction. The university will review your objection and issue a corrected entry if valid. Check the portal for the exact objection deadline and process.
My NEET score in the list does not match my admit card. What should I do?
This is a critical error. Report it to NTRUHS immediately by filing an objection with your NEET admit card as proof. Do not assume it will be corrected automatically. The objection window is usually short, so act fast. A score discrepancy can affect your merit rank and counselling eligibility.
When will counselling begin after the provisional list is published?
The university will announce the counselling schedule separately after the final merit list is released. The final list comes after the objection window closes and corrections are made. Keep checking the NTRUHS portal for announcements about counselling dates and the process for seat allocation.
What if I miss the objection deadline?
If you miss the objection deadline, you will not be able to correct errors in the provisional list. This could affect your counselling and seat allocation. The objection window is usually only 3-7 days, so check the portal immediately and file any objections within the deadline. Do not delay.
Does my merit rank in this list determine my seat?
Your merit rank determines your priority for seat allocation, but your final seat depends on several factors: your rank, your category, your course choice (MBBS or BDS), and the number of available seats. During counselling, seats are offered in order of merit rank. Your choices and category also play a role in which specific seat you receive.
I applied for both MBBS and BDS. Will I appear in the list twice?
No. The provisional merit position list shows your single merit rank based on your NEET score and category. During counselling, you will be able to choose between MBBS and BDS seats based on your rank and availability. You will not have separate ranks for each course.
What documents should I keep ready after checking the list?
Keep your NEET admit card, category certificate (if applicable), and a printed or downloaded copy of the provisional merit list. If you file an objection, keep copies of all submissions. You will need these documents during counselling registration and seat allocation. Do not lose or misplace them.
Check the provisional merit position list immediately at drntr.uhsap.in using your NEET roll number. Verify all your details — name, score, category, and rank — against your NEET admit card. If you find any error, file an objection with supporting documents within the deadline shown on the portal. Keep the list and all documents safe, and check the portal regularly for announcements about the final merit list and counselling schedule. Your admission depends on acting promptly and staying informed.
