If you have received a Competent Authority Quota (CQ) seat allotment in Andhra Pradesh's Phase 2 NEET UG MBBS counselling, you now have until September 26, 2026 to report physically at your allotted college. Dr NTR University of Health Sciences has extended this deadline to give candidates more time to arrange original certificates and complete admission formalities. Missing this date will result in automatic seat cancellation with no guarantee of a future offer. This extension is critical—here's exactly what you need to do and when.

Phase 2 CQ allottees in Andhra Pradesh must complete physical reporting and document verification at their allotted medical college by September 26, 2026, or risk losing their seat permanently.

What the Deadline Extension Means for Your MBBS Admission

Dr NTR University of Health Sciences, which conducts NEET UG counselling for Andhra Pradesh, has pushed back the Phase 2 joining window to September 26, 2026. This applies only to candidates who received a CQ (Competent Authority Quota) seat allotment in Phase 2—typically those who either missed Phase 1 reporting or are upgrading to a better college or course.

The extension was granted because many candidates struggle to gather original certificates (10th, 12th, transfer certificates, caste/income proofs) within tight timelines. This extra time is your window to collect documents, arrange travel, and complete the admission process without panic. However, it remains a hard deadline—colleges will not accept late reporting under any circumstances.

Understanding the Competent Authority Quota (CQ) in AP NEET UG

The Competent Authority Quota covers the majority of government and private MBBS and BDS seats available in Andhra Pradesh. These seats are filled through state-level counselling conducted by Dr NTR UHS and are separate from the All India Quota (AIQ) managed by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) and the management/private pool seats.

CQ seats include both 'Convener' (reserved for specific categories) and 'Open' competition categories. Merit is determined strictly by your NEET UG 2026 score. Local reservation rules apply to many CQ categories, meaning Andhra Pradesh residents get priority in the state merit list. If you are a Phase 2 allottee, you either did not report in Phase 1 or chose to participate in Phase 2 for a better option.

Step-by-Step Reporting Process Before September 26

Reporting is not optional—it is the final step to lock in your MBBS seat. The process is straightforward but must be completed in full by the deadline. Start by logging into the official counselling portal at drntr.uhsap.in to download your Phase 2 provisional allotment order, which shows your assigned college, course, and category.

Once you have the allotment order, travel to your assigned college with all original documents and self-attested photocopies. At the college's admissions cell, staff will verify your originals against your copies. You will then pay the applicable tuition and admission fees on the spot (amount varies by college and course). Finally, collect your joining confirmation slip from the college office. This slip is proof that you have successfully reported and your seat is confirmed.

  • Log in to drntr.uhsap.in and download your Phase 2 provisional allotment order
  • Gather all original documents and self-attested photocopies
  • Travel to your allotted college before September 26
  • Complete document verification at the admissions cell
  • Pay admission and tuition fees as notified by the college
  • Collect and retain the joining confirmation slip

Complete List of Documents You Must Carry

Colleges will not admit you without proper documentation. You must bring both original documents and self-attested photocopies of each. Originals are verified by the college and retained until your admission is fully confirmed. Missing even one certificate can delay your joining and put your seat at risk.

Prepare this checklist well in advance. If you are still waiting for any certificate (such as a local status or caste certificate from your district), contact the issuing authority immediately. Do not wait until the last few days—administrative delays are common, and you cannot report without these documents.

  • NEET UG 2026 admit card and scorecard
  • Provisional allotment order (downloaded from the portal)
  • Class 10 marksheet and pass certificate
  • Class 12 marksheet and pass certificate
  • Transfer Certificate from your last school or college
  • Study certificates for qualifying years (if applicable)
  • Local status or nativity certificate (issued by your district)
  • Caste certificate and income certificate (if applicable to your category)
  • Aadhaar card and one valid photo ID (passport, voter ID, or driving licence)
  • Recent passport-sized photographs (typically 4–6 copies)

How to Check Your Phase 2 Allotment Status Online

Before you travel to your college, verify that your allotment is correct. The official portal displays your assigned college, course, and category. Keep your NEET UG 2026 roll number and date of birth ready.

Visit drntr.uhsap.in, locate the Phase 2 allotment result link on the homepage, and enter your roll number and date of birth. Your allotment order will appear on screen. Download and save a copy—you will need this when you report at the college. If your allotment does not appear or shows an error, contact Dr NTR UHS immediately; do not assume it will resolve on its own.

  • Open drntr.uhsap.in on your browser
  • Click the Phase 2 allotment result link
  • Enter your NEET UG roll number and date of birth
  • View and download your allotment order
  • Save a copy and bring it to the college

What Happens If You Miss the September 26 Deadline

If you do not complete reporting and document verification by September 26, 2026, your seat will be automatically cancelled. There is no grace period, no exceptions, and no appeal process. Once cancelled, your seat is forfeited permanently.

A cancelled seat may be included in a later counselling round (Phase 3, mop-up, or stray vacancy) if Dr NTR UHS decides to conduct one, but there is no guarantee. You would have to participate in that round afresh and compete with other candidates. The safest course is to report well before the deadline—aim for at least 2–3 days before September 26 to avoid last-minute travel or document issues.

Practical Action Plan: What to Do Right Now

Time is short. If you have received a Phase 2 allotment, begin your action plan immediately. First, download your allotment order from the portal today and verify that all details (college name, course, category) are correct. Then, make a checklist of all documents you need and check which ones you already have.

For any missing documents, contact the issuing authority (school, district office, revenue office) today and request urgent issuance. Explain that you have a college admission deadline. Simultaneously, confirm the exact admission fee amount with your allotted college by calling or visiting their website. Plan your travel to the college, accounting for any delays. Aim to report at least 2–3 days before September 26 to avoid rush and last-minute stress.

  • Download your Phase 2 allotment order from drntr.uhsap.in today
  • Verify all details: college name, course, category, and quota
  • Create a checklist of all required documents
  • Collect or request urgent issuance of any missing certificates
  • Confirm the admission fee amount with your college
  • Plan travel and book transport if needed
  • Report at the college at least 2–3 days before September 26
  • Complete document verification and fee payment on the same day if possible

What to Watch for After You Report

Once you have reported and received your joining confirmation slip, your MBBS seat is secure. However, keep monitoring the official portal for any further announcements. Dr NTR UHS may announce Phase 3 or mop-up rounds if seats remain vacant after Phase 2 reporting.

Also, stay in touch with your college's admissions office. They will inform you of the exact date to report for orientation, hostel allotment (if applicable), and the start of classes. Do not assume the admission process is complete just because you have reported; colleges often have additional formalities and fee payments for hostel, uniforms, and other charges.

  • Monitor drntr.uhsap.in for Phase 3 and mop-up round announcements
  • Stay in contact with your college's admissions office
  • Prepare for orientation and hostel allotment processes
  • Budget for additional fees (hostel, uniforms, lab coats, etc.)
