AP NEET UG Counselling 2026: Round 1 Seat Allotment Out, Report by Sept 7

The Dr NTR University of Health Sciences has announced the first-round seat allotment results for NEET UG counselling in Andhra Pradesh on September 2, 2026. Candidates who applied for the Competent Authority Quota can now download their allotment letters from the official portal. This is a critical step in the admission process—you must report to your allotted college by September 7, 2026, to secure your seat. Missing this deadline could result in forfeiture of your allocation.

What Happened: AP NEET UG Round 1 Allotment Released

The Dr NTR University of Health Sciences (NTRUHS), which manages medical admissions in Andhra Pradesh, released the first-round seat allotment results on September 2, 2026. This allotment applies to candidates who participated in counselling for the Competent Authority Quota—a reserved category for candidates meeting specific eligibility criteria set by the state.

The allotment was based on two factors: the choices you filled during counselling registration and your rank in the state merit list. This means seats were assigned according to your preference order and your NEET UG performance relative to other candidates in Andhra Pradesh.

How to Download Your Allotment Letter

To access your allotment letter, you will need to log into the official NTRUHS counselling portal. The process is straightforward and can be completed in a few minutes from any device with internet access.

• Visit drntr.uhsap.in
• Click the login option and enter your credentials (registration number and password)
• Navigate to the allotment letter section in your dashboard
• Review your allotted college, course, and seat details carefully
• Download the PDF and print a hard copy for document verification at the college

Critical Deadline: Report by September 7, 2026

The most important date to remember is September 7, 2026. You must physically report to your allotted college by 4 PM on this date. Reporting means visiting the college, submitting your allotment letter, verifying your documents, and completing the initial admission formalities. This is not optional—failure to report by the deadline will result in your seat being cancelled and offered to the next candidate on the waiting list.

Plan your travel and document collection well in advance. Ensure you have all required documents (mark sheets, NEET admit card, identity proof, etc.) ready before you visit the college. Some colleges may have specific reporting procedures, so check your allotment letter for any special instructions.

What If You Find an Error in Your Allotment?

If you notice any discrepancy in your allotment letter—such as incorrect name, rank, or college assignment—you must report it immediately. However, there is a strict deadline: complaints must be submitted by September 2, 2026 (the same day the results were released). After this date, no complaints will be accepted, regardless of the mode of submission.

Contact the NTRUHS authorities directly through the official portal or visit the university office in person if needed. Do not delay this step, as the window for corrections is very narrow.

What Happens After You Report to College

Once you report to your allotted college by the deadline, the next steps typically include document verification, fee payment, and hostel allocation (if applicable). Your allotment letter will contain detailed instructions on what to bring and what to do when you arrive.

After reporting, you will be officially admitted to the college. If you do not report by September 7, your seat will be cancelled, and you may lose the opportunity to study at that institution. If you are waitlisted or did not receive an allotment in Round 1, you will be eligible for subsequent rounds of counselling.

Understanding the Competent Authority Quota

The Competent Authority Quota is a category of seats reserved by the Andhra Pradesh government for candidates who meet specific criteria. This may include candidates from certain regions, economically weaker sections, or other state-defined categories. If you applied under this quota, your allotment is based on merit within this category.

If you are unsure whether you applied under the correct quota or have questions about your eligibility, clarify this with the NTRUHS office before reporting to college. Reporting under the wrong quota could lead to complications later.

What If You Don't Get an Allotment in Round 1?

Not all candidates receive an allotment in the first round. This can happen if your rank is lower than the closing rank for your preferred colleges or if your choices did not match available seats. If this is your situation, do not worry—there will be subsequent rounds of counselling.

In the next round, you will have the opportunity to fill fresh choices or modify your existing preferences. Seats vacated by candidates who did not report in Round 1 will be available in Round 2. Keep monitoring the NTRUHS website for announcements about the next round's schedule.

Important Documents to Carry When Reporting

When you visit your allotted college, bring all original documents along with photocopies. The college will verify these during the admission process. Missing documents could delay your admission or, in some cases, result in cancellation of your seat.

• NEET UG admit card
• NEET UG result/scorecard
• Class 10 and 12 mark sheets and certificates
• Allotment letter (printed copy)
• Valid identity proof (Aadhaar, passport, or voter ID)
• Caste certificate (if applicable)
• Income certificate (if applicable)
• Medical fitness certificate (if required by the college)

Staying Updated on Future Rounds

The AP NEET UG counselling process typically involves multiple rounds. If you received an allotment in Round 1, you can choose to accept it or participate in subsequent rounds to try for a better college. If you did not receive an allotment, you will automatically be eligible for Round 2.

Regularly check the NTRUHS website (drntr.uhsap.in) for updates on Round 2 registration dates, choice-filling deadlines, and allotment schedules. Missing a deadline in any round could affect your chances of admission.
