Dr. N.T.R. University of Health Sciences (NTRUHS), Vijayawada, has released the college-wise allotment list for MBBS Stray Round II for the 2026-27 academic year. This is the final opportunity for candidates who did not secure a seat in earlier rounds to get an MBBS admission in Andhra Pradesh. The allotment covers 18 medical colleges across the state, with candidates allocated based on their NEET rank, category, and local area eligibility. The critical deadline is 26 October 2026 at 8:00 PM — candidates must report to their allotted college by this time, or their seat will be cancelled and they will lose admission. Classes have already begun on 15 September 2026, so joining immediately is essential.
If your name appears in the allotment list, you must report to your allotted college by 26 October 2026 at 8:00 PM with original certificates, or your seat will be cancelled.

Unlock My College ListWhat is Stray Round II and why does it matter?
Stray Round II is the final counselling round in the NEET UG 2026 admission process for MBBS in Andhra Pradesh. It is designed to fill any remaining vacant seats after the main counselling rounds and the first stray round. If you did not get a seat in earlier rounds, this was your last chance to secure an MBBS admission in an AP medical college.
This round is called 'stray' because it accommodates candidates who either did not participate in earlier rounds, were not eligible then, or chose to participate now. The allotment is based on your NEET rank, category (SC, ST, OBC, OC, etc.), and whether you qualify as a local candidate in Andhra Pradesh.
The allotment list released on 25 October 2026 shows which college you have been assigned to. This is not a provisional or tentative list — it is your final allotment. Your admission is confirmed only if you report to the college with all required original documents by the deadline.
How to find your name in the allotment list
The allotment list is organized by college. Each college section shows a table with columns for S.No., NEET Rank, NEET Roll Number, Score, Name of Candidate, Gender, Category, Local Area, Allotment Details, and Phase. To find yourself, you need to search through the list by college or use your NEET roll number.
The list covers 18 medical colleges: ASRA (Eluru), BMCT (Tirupati), FIMS (Kadapa), GEMS (Srikakulam), GMCP (Paderu), GMCV (Vizianagaram), GSLR (Rajahmundry), GVPT (Visakhapatnam), KATR (Guntur), KONA (Amalapuram), NIMR (Ibrahimpatnam), NRIM (Chinakakani), NRVP (Visakhapatnam), PADT (women's college), PESK (Kuppam), PSIM (Gannavaram), and VMCK (Kurnool).
If your name does not appear in any college's list, you have not been allotted a seat in Stray Round II. In that case, you may be eligible for a further round (if announced) or may need to explore other options such as private colleges outside AP or other states.
Critical deadline: Report by 26 October 2026 at 8:00 PM
This is the most important date in the entire allotment process. You must physically report to your allotted college by 8:00 PM on 26 October 2026. This is not a soft deadline — if you miss it, your allotment will be cancelled automatically, and your seat will be forfeited. There is no extension, no grace period, and no exceptions mentioned in the notice.
Reporting means arriving at the college with all your original certificates and documents ready for verification by the Principal. The college will conduct document verification on the spot. If any discrepancy is found in your certificates (for example, if your category certificate does not match your application, or if your date of birth differs), your allotment will be cancelled and action will be taken as per university regulations.
Classes have already started on 15 September 2026, so you will be joining mid-session. Plan your travel and document collection immediately. Do not delay — the deadline is less than 24 hours away from the notice date.
- Reporting deadline: 26 October 2026, 8:00 PM (strict, no extension)
- Location: Your allotted college (see your allotment details)
- What to bring: All original certificates (see Documents Required section below)
- What happens if you miss the deadline: Your allotment is cancelled, your seat is forfeited, and you lose admission
Documents you must bring for verification
The notice states that 'verification of original certificates will be conducted by the Principal at the college during admission.' This means the college will check your original documents against what you submitted in your application. Any mismatch will result in cancellation of your allotment. You must bring every original document listed below.
The notice does not provide a detailed checklist, but based on standard NEET UG admission practice in AP, you will need to bring: (1) your NEET admit card and NEET score card, (2) your 10th and 12th mark sheets and certificates, (3) your category certificate (SC/ST/OBC/OC) if applicable, (4) your local area certificate if you are claiming local candidate status, (5) your Aadhaar card or passport, (6) your medical fitness certificate, and (7) any other document mentioned in your allotment letter or the college's admission notification.
Do not assume the college will accept photocopies or digital versions. Bring originals. If any document is missing or shows a discrepancy (for example, your name is spelled differently, or your date of birth does not match), the college can cancel your allotment on the spot. Verify all your documents before you travel to the college.

Understanding your allotment details
Your allotment details column shows information in a format like 'GMCP - MBBS - CA-SF-1' or 'FIMS - MBBS - C - L-2'. Let us break this down: the first part is the college code (e.g., GMCP = Government Medical College, Paderu), the second part is the course (MBBS), and the remaining parts indicate the category and seat type.
The category codes in the allotment refer to the quota under which you have been allotted. For example, 'CA-SF' may indicate a category-specific seat (such as SC, ST, OBC), and 'C' may indicate a Competent Authority Quota seat (filled by the state government). 'L-1', 'L-2', etc., refer to different seat numbers within that category at the college. This is administrative information; what matters is that you have been allotted a specific seat at a specific college.
The 'Phase' column shows 'Stray Round II' for all candidates, confirming that this is the final round. Your NEET rank and score are also shown for your reference. If you have any questions about why you were allotted to a particular college or category, contact the NTRUHS counselling office, but do not delay your reporting.
- College code: The abbreviation of your allotted college (e.g., GMCP, FIMS, KATR)
- Course: MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery)
- Category/Quota: The type of seat (e.g., CA-SF for category-specific, C for Competent Authority)
- Seat number: L-1, L-2, etc., indicating your specific seat within that category
- Phase: Stray Round II (final round)
What if your name is not in the list?
If you searched the entire allotment list and your name does not appear, you have not been allotted a seat in Stray Round II. This could happen for several reasons: (1) your NEET rank was not high enough to secure a seat in any college in this round, (2) you did not meet the eligibility criteria for the colleges that had vacant seats, (3) you did not participate in the counselling process, or (4) there were no vacant seats in your category.
If you believe you should have been allotted a seat, contact the NTRUHS counselling office immediately with your NEET roll number and application details. However, given the tight deadline (26 October 8:00 PM), it is unlikely that any further rounds will be announced. You may need to explore alternative options: (1) apply to private medical colleges in AP or other states, (2) consider BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) if you have not already, (3) look into NEET PG if you have completed a bachelor's degree, or (4) consider other health science courses such as nursing or paramedical programs.
Do not panic. Many candidates secure seats through private colleges or in subsequent years. This is not the end of your medical career.
- Check the entire list carefully using your NEET roll number
- Contact NTRUHS counselling office if you believe there is an error
- Explore private medical colleges in AP and other states
- Consider BDS or other health science courses
- Plan to reappear for NEET UG next year if needed
Category and local area eligibility explained
Your allotment is determined by three factors: your NEET rank, your category (SC, ST, OBC, OC, etc.), and your local area status. The notice shows these details for each candidate. Understanding these will help you verify that your allotment is correct.
Category refers to your social/economic classification as per government norms. SC = Scheduled Caste, ST = Scheduled Tribe, OBC = Other Backward Class, OC = Open Category. Within OBC, there are sub-categories (OBC-A, OBC-B, OBC-C) in some states. Your category certificate must match the category shown in your allotment. If there is a mismatch, the college will reject your admission during verification.
Local Area status means you are a resident of Andhra Pradesh and eligible for local candidate seats. The notice shows 'AP' for local candidates and 'Others' for non-local candidates. Local candidates get priority in seat allocation and often have lower cutoff ranks. If you are shown as 'Others' but believe you should be 'AP', bring proof of AP residency (such as a domicile certificate) to the college. However, if your application was submitted with 'Others' status, changing it now may not be possible.
- SC = Scheduled Caste
- ST = Scheduled Tribe
- OBC = Other Backward Class (may have sub-categories OBC-A, OBC-B, OBC-C)
- OC = Open Category
- AP = Local candidate (Andhra Pradesh resident)
- Others = Non-local candidate
The 18 medical colleges in this allotment
The allotment covers 18 MBBS colleges across Andhra Pradesh. These include government colleges (GMCP, GMCV, GSLR, GVPT, NRIM, NRVP, VMCK), private colleges (ASRA, BMCT, FIMS, GEMS, KATR, KONA, NIMR, PESK, PSIM), and one women's college (PADT). Each college has been allotted a certain number of seats based on its approved intake capacity.
The colleges are spread across different districts: Eluru (ASRA), Tirupati (BMCT), Kadapa (FIMS), Srikakulam (GEMS), Paderu (GMCP), Vizianagaram (GMCV), Rajahmundry (GSLR), Visakhapatnam (GVPT and NRVP), Guntur (KATR and NRIM), Amalapuram (KONA), Ibrahimpatnam (NIMR), Kuppam (PESK), Gannavaram (PSIM), and Kurnool (VMCK). If you have been allotted to a college far from your home, plan your travel and accommodation accordingly.
All these colleges are recognized by the Medical Council of India (now National Medical Commission) and are approved to offer MBBS. Your degree will be valid across India. However, the quality of infrastructure, faculty, and clinical exposure may vary. If you have a choice between colleges in future rounds, research the college's reputation and facilities.

What happens after you report to the college
Once you report to the college by the deadline with all original documents, the Principal will conduct verification. The college will check that your documents match your application and that there are no discrepancies. If everything is in order, you will be admitted and your name will be registered as a student of that college.
If any discrepancy is found — for example, your category certificate shows a different category than what you applied with, or your date of birth on your 10th certificate differs from your NEET admit card — the college can cancel your allotment on the spot. The notice explicitly states: 'in case of any discrepancy, the provisional allotment will be cancelled and action will be initiated as per University Regulations.' This means you could lose your seat immediately.
After verification, you will be required to pay the college fees (which vary by college and category), complete your registration, and begin classes. Classes have already started on 15 September 2026, so you will be joining mid-session. Speak to the college about how to catch up on missed lectures and practicals. You will also need to complete your hostel registration (if applicable) and other administrative formalities.
- Report to the college by 26 October 2026, 8:00 PM
- Bring all original documents for verification by the Principal
- Any discrepancy will result in immediate cancellation of allotment
- Pay college fees after verification
- Complete registration and hostel formalities
- Begin classes (already in progress since 15 September 2026)
Common mistakes that get allotments cancelled
The notice warns that 'verification of original certificates will be conducted by the Principal at the college during admission and in case of any discrepancy, allotment will be cancelled.' Here are the most common mistakes that lead to cancellation:
1. **Missing or incorrect category certificate**: If your category certificate does not match the category shown in your allotment, or if it is expired, or if it does not show the sub-category (e.g., SC-A vs. SC-B), the college will reject it. Ensure your category certificate is valid and matches your application exactly.
2. **Name spelling mismatch**: If your name is spelled differently on your 10th certificate, 12th certificate, NEET admit card, and category certificate, the college may reject your admission. Bring all documents and be prepared to explain any variations.
3. **Date of birth discrepancy**: If your date of birth on your 10th certificate differs from your NEET admit card or category certificate, the college will flag this. You may need to provide a birth certificate or an affidavit to resolve it.
4. **Missing local area certificate**: If you are shown as 'AP' (local candidate) in your allotment but cannot produce a domicile or local area certificate, the college may downgrade your status or cancel your allotment.
5. **Incomplete documents**: If you arrive without your NEET score card, 10th/12th certificates, or medical fitness certificate, the college will not admit you. Do not assume you can submit these later.
6. **Arriving after the deadline**: If you arrive even one minute after 8:00 PM on 26 October 2026, your allotment will be cancelled. There is no grace period.
- Category certificate does not match allotment or is expired
- Name spelled differently across documents
- Date of birth mismatch between certificates
- Missing local area certificate despite being shown as 'AP'
- Incomplete or missing original documents
- Arriving after 26 October 2026, 8:00 PM deadline
Important note: Classes have already started
The notice explicitly states: 'Classes are already commenced from 15-09-2026.' This means the academic session began on 15 September 2026, and you will be joining more than a month into the course. This is important because you will have missed significant portions of the curriculum, including foundational lectures, practicals, and assessments.
When you join, speak to the college about how to catch up. Most colleges will provide you with lecture notes, recorded sessions, or extra tutorials to help you cover the missed material. However, you will need to put in extra effort to keep up with your batch. Do not assume the college will slow down or repeat lectures for you.
Also, be aware that some colleges may have already conducted internal assessments or practical exams. You may need to take these separately or be given a grace period. Clarify this with the college administration when you report.
- Academic session started on 15 September 2026
- You will be joining more than a month into the course
- Request lecture notes and recorded sessions to catch up
- Ask about internal assessments and practicals you may have missed
- Plan to study extra hours to keep pace with your batch

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
What is the last date to report to my allotted college?
The last date to report is 26 October 2026 at 8:00 PM. You must arrive at your allotted college with all original documents by this time. If you miss this deadline, your allotment will be cancelled automatically, and you will lose your seat. There is no extension or grace period.
How do I find my name in the allotment list?
The allotment list is organized by college. Search through the list using your NEET roll number or by looking at the college you expect to be allotted to. Each college section shows a table with candidate names, NEET ranks, scores, and allotment details. If your name does not appear in any college's list, you have not been allotted a seat in Stray Round II.
What documents do I need to bring for verification at the college?
You must bring all original documents, including: NEET admit card and score card, 10th and 12th mark sheets and certificates, category certificate (if applicable), local area certificate (if claiming local candidate status), Aadhaar card or passport, and medical fitness certificate. Any missing or discrepant document can result in cancellation of your allotment.
What happens if there is a discrepancy in my documents?
If the college finds any discrepancy during verification — such as a name spelling mismatch, date of birth difference, or category certificate mismatch — your allotment will be cancelled immediately, and action will be taken as per university regulations. You will lose your seat. Verify all your documents carefully before reporting to the college.
I am shown as 'Others' in the allotment but I am an AP resident. Can I change this?
If you are shown as 'Others' (non-local) in your allotment, it means your application was submitted with that status. Changing it now may not be possible, as the allotment has already been finalized. However, bring proof of AP residency (such as a domicile certificate) to the college and request the Principal to review your status. The college may or may not be able to change it, but it is worth trying.
Classes have already started. Will I be able to catch up?
Yes, but you will need to put in extra effort. Classes started on 15 September 2026, so you will be joining more than a month into the course. Request lecture notes, recorded sessions, and extra tutorials from the college to catch up on missed material. Ask about internal assessments and practicals you may have missed and whether you need to take them separately.
What if my name does not appear in the allotment list?
If your name is not in any college's list, you have not been allotted a seat in Stray Round II. Contact the NTRUHS counselling office immediately with your NEET roll number to verify. If there is no error, you may explore private medical colleges in AP or other states, consider BDS, or plan to reappear for NEET UG next year.
Can I choose a different college if I am not happy with my allotment?
No. Stray Round II is the final round, and the allotment is final. You cannot change your allotted college. If you do not report to your allotted college by the deadline, you will lose your seat, and no further rounds are mentioned in the notice. You must accept your allotment or forgo admission in this round.
What is the difference between 'AP' and 'Others' in the Local Area column?
'AP' means you are a local candidate (Andhra Pradesh resident) and eligible for local candidate seats, which typically have lower cutoff ranks and priority in allocation. 'Others' means you are a non-local candidate and compete in the general/non-local category. Your local area status was determined when you submitted your application and cannot be changed now.
What do the codes in the Allotment Details column mean (e.g., 'GMCP - MBBS - CA-SF-1')?
The first part is the college code (e.g., GMCP = Government Medical College, Paderu), the second part is the course (MBBS), and the remaining parts indicate the category/quota and seat number. For example, 'CA-SF' may indicate a category-specific seat, and 'L-1' indicates your specific seat number within that category. This is administrative information; what matters is that you have been allotted a specific seat at a specific college.
Will my MBBS degree from these colleges be recognized across India?
Yes. All 18 colleges in this allotment are recognized by the National Medical Commission (formerly Medical Council of India) and are approved to offer MBBS. Your degree will be valid across India and internationally. However, the quality of infrastructure, faculty, and clinical exposure may vary between colleges.
What should I do immediately after receiving this allotment?
Immediately: (1) Verify that your name is in the list and note your allotted college, (2) gather all original documents (NEET card, 10th/12th certificates, category certificate, etc.), (3) arrange travel to your allotted college, (4) plan to arrive well before 8:00 PM on 26 October 2026, and (5) contact the college to confirm the exact reporting location and any additional requirements. Do not delay — the deadline is less than 24 hours away.
If your name appears in the allotment list, you have secured an MBBS seat in Andhra Pradesh for 2026-27. Your next and final step is to report to your allotted college by 26 October 2026 at 8:00 PM with all original documents. Missing this deadline will result in automatic cancellation of your allotment. Gather your documents now, arrange your travel, and head to the college immediately. Congratulations on your admission — welcome to medical school.
