Dr. N.T.R. University of Health Sciences (NTRUHS), Vijayawada has released the tentative priority list for 208 candidates who applied for MBBS and BDS admission under the Sports & Games quota for the 2026-27 academic year. A skill test was conducted on 28 September 2026 for all eligible applicants. The university is now inviting grievances and objections from candidates whose names appear on the list. This is a critical window: if you spot errors in your entry, missing or incorrect documents, or believe you were wrongly excluded, you must file a formal complaint by the deadline.
If your name is on the tentative Sports quota priority list, you have until 1:00 PM on 3 October 2026 to submit any grievances or corrections via email to ntruhssports@gmail.com.

Unlock My College ListWhat is this notice about?
This is a grievance-filing window for candidates who applied for MBBS and BDS seats under the Sports & Games quota in Andhra Pradesh. The Sports Authority of Andhra Pradesh (SAAP) conducted a skill test on 28 September 2026 for all applicants who had registered. Based on that test and the certificates submitted, NTRUHS has now published a tentative priority list ranking 208 candidates.
The list is 'tentative' because it is open to challenge. If you believe there is an error in how you are ranked, if your documents were not properly considered, or if you were left off the list unfairly, you can file a grievance. The university will review all complaints and issue a final priority list after resolving genuine issues.
Who is eligible to file a grievance?
Any candidate whose name appears on the tentative priority list can file a grievance. You do not need to be ranked first or in the top positions—candidates at any position on the list can object if they believe there is an error affecting them.
You can also file a grievance if you believe you should have been on the list but are not. However, the notice does not explicitly state a process for candidates not on the list to appeal; the grievance window is primarily for those already listed.
- Your name must appear on the tentative priority list (or you must have applied and believe you were wrongly excluded)
- You must have participated in the skill test on 28 September 2026 or have a valid reason for absence
What are valid reasons to file a grievance?
The notice invites 'grievances or objections' but does not define every possible reason. Based on the remarks column in the priority list, common grounds include:
The list shows many candidates marked 'Form IV not submitted', 'Form II not submitted', or 'Form III not submitted'. If you submitted a form but it is not recorded, that is a valid grievance. Similarly, if a certificate was rejected as 'not eligible' or 'not recognised by SAAP' but you believe it should have been accepted, you can object. If you did not attend the skill test but have a legitimate reason (illness, emergency), you may file a grievance requesting reconsideration.
- Your form (Form II, Form III, or Form IV) was submitted but not recorded in the list
- Your sports certificate was rejected as ineligible, but you believe it meets the criteria
- Your certificate is from an association not recognised by SAAP, but you believe it should be
- You did not attend the skill test on 28 September 2026 but have a valid reason
- Your name is misspelled or your NEET roll number is incorrect
- Your achievement or medal details are wrongly recorded
- You were ranked lower than you believe you should be based on your certificates

- Tentative priority list published: 1 October 2026

How to submit a grievance: step-by-step
The process is straightforward but must be followed exactly. Any grievance that does not meet these requirements will be rejected automatically.
Step 1: Download or prepare the grievance form. The notice provides a template table with seven columns. You must fill in all columns for your entry.
Step 2: Prepare two versions of your grievance—one signed (scanned PDF or image) and one in Excel format (.xlsx or .xls). Both must contain identical information.
Step 3: Attach both files to an email and send to ntruhssports@gmail.com. The subject line should clearly state 'Grievance – Sports Quota MBBS/BDS 2026-27' or similar.
Step 4: Send the email before 1:00 PM on 3 October 2026. The notice explicitly states that grievances received after the deadline or via any other mode (WhatsApp, phone, in-person, etc.) will not be considered under any circumstances.
Grievance form: what to include
The notice provides a mandatory template. You must use this exact format or your grievance may be rejected. Here are the seven columns you must fill:
- Column 1 (S.N.): Your serial number as shown on the tentative priority list
- Column 2 (Candidate Hall Ticket Number): Your NEET hall ticket number
- Column 3 (Name of the Candidate): Your full name as it appears on your NEET admit card
- Column 4 (Discipline): The sport/game you competed in (e.g., Boxing, Archery, Swimming)
- Column 5 (Gist of the Grievance/Objection): A brief, clear statement of your complaint. For example: 'Form IV not submitted but was sent on 25 Sept 2026' or 'Certificate rejected as ineligible but meets national championship criteria'
- Column 6 (Details of valid Supporting form as per grievance in Serial number wise): List the specific documents or evidence you are attaching to support your grievance. For example: 'Email receipt of Form IV submission', 'Copy of national championship certificate', 'Medical certificate for absence from skill test'
- Column 7 (Any other information): Optional. Use this for additional context if needed
| S.N. (as per tentative priority) | Candidate Hall Ticket Number | Name of the Candidate | Discipline | Gist of the Grievance/Objection | Details of valid Supporting form as per grievance in Serial number wise | Any other information |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Your serial number from the list | Your NEET hall ticket | Your full name | Your sport | Brief description of your complaint | Supporting documents you are attaching | Additional notes (optional) |
Common mistakes that get grievances rejected
The notice is very strict about compliance. Here are the traps that will cause your grievance to be ignored:
- ⚠️ Submitting after 1:00 PM on 3 October 2026 — the deadline is absolute; no extensions are given
- ⚠️ Sending via WhatsApp, phone call, SMS, or in-person — email only
- ⚠️ Sending only a signed PDF or only an Excel file — you must send both formats
- ⚠️ Not using the official template table — if you write a letter instead, it will be rejected
- ⚠️ Leaving any column blank — all seven columns must be filled
- ⚠️ Not attaching supporting documents — vague complaints without evidence are not considered
- ⚠️ Sending to the wrong email address — it must be ntruhssports@gmail.com exactly
- ⚠️ Submitting a grievance for a candidate not on the tentative list — the process is for listed candidates only

What happens after you submit a grievance?
The notice does not specify a timeline for resolution, but it does state that the final priority list will be issued after the university reviews all grievances and verifies the genuineness of complaints. The final list will reflect corrections made based on valid objections.
Once the final priority list is published, candidates will proceed to the next stage of counselling (seat allotment). Your position on the final list determines which colleges and courses you are eligible for.
- NTRUHS will review all grievances received by the deadline
- The university will verify supporting documents and contact the relevant sports associations/federations if needed
- A final priority list will be published (date not specified in this notice)
- Candidates will then be called for counselling and seat allotment based on the final list
Understanding the tentative priority list
The list includes 208 candidates ranked by their achievements in sports. Each entry shows the candidate's name, NEET roll number, sport, certificate details, category (Individual or Team), tentative priority number, and remarks.
The 'Remarks' column is critical. It flags issues that may affect your ranking or eligibility. Common remarks include:
If your remarks say 'Form IV not submitted', it means the university did not receive your Form IV (the official sports certificate form). If you sent it, file a grievance with proof of submission. If your remarks say 'Not attended to skill test conducted on 28th Sep.2026', you were absent from the test. If you have a valid reason, file a grievance with supporting evidence (medical certificate, etc.). If your remarks say 'Certificate not eligible' or 'Association not recognised by SAAP', your sports certificate does not meet the criteria. You can file a grievance if you believe the rejection was wrong, but be aware that SAAP's recognition list is strict.
- Form not submitted: Form II, Form III, or Form IV missing from your file
- Skill test not attended: You did not appear on 28 September 2026
- Certificate ineligible: Your sports achievement does not meet the criteria (e.g., district-level only, not national/state)
- Association not recognised: Your sports body is not officially recognised by SAAP
- Above 3 years: Your certificate is older than 3 years from the date of notification
- Priority number assigned: Your rank on the tentative list
Key eligibility rules for Sports quota
To understand whether your grievance has merit, you should know the basic rules for Sports quota admission. These are set by SAAP and NTRUHS:
Your sports achievement must be from a national, state, or inter-district championship recognised by SAAP. District-level or school-level events are generally not eligible unless they are part of a national/state federation. Your certificate must be issued within 3 years of the notification date (1 October 2026), so achievements from before 1 October 2023 are not eligible. Your certificate must be from an association or federation officially recognised by SAAP. If your sport is not on the recognised list (e.g., some niche martial arts, yoga, or modern pentathlon), it will not be accepted. You must have participated in the skill test on 28 September 2026 unless you have a documented reason for absence (medical emergency, etc.).
- Achievement must be from a national, state, or inter-district championship
- Certificate must be dated on or after 1 October 2023 (within 3 years of notification)
- Sport must be recognised by SAAP (not all sports are eligible)
- Association/federation must be officially recognised by SAAP
- Skill test attendance is mandatory unless you have a valid documented reason

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
I am on the tentative priority list but my form is marked 'not submitted'. I sent it on time. What do I do?
File a grievance immediately. In Column 5, write: 'Form [II/III/IV] not recorded but was submitted on [date].' In Column 6, attach proof of submission—an email receipt, a screenshot of your submission confirmation, or a letter from your school/college confirming they sent it. Send both the signed PDF and Excel versions to ntruhssports@gmail.com before 1:00 PM on 3 October 2026.
My certificate was rejected as 'not eligible' but I won a national championship. Can I challenge this?
Yes, file a grievance. In Column 5, explain why you believe your certificate is eligible—for example, 'National championship certificate from [federation name], which is recognised by SAAP.' In Column 6, attach a copy of your certificate and proof that the federation is recognised by SAAP (you can check SAAP's official list). However, if your certificate is older than 3 years or from an unrecognised association, the rejection is likely valid.
I did not attend the skill test on 28 September because I was ill. Can I still file a grievance?
Yes. In Column 5, write: 'Did not attend skill test due to [reason: medical emergency, illness, etc.].' In Column 6, attach supporting evidence—a medical certificate, hospital discharge letter, or doctor's note dated around 28 September 2026. The university will review your case, but there is no guarantee of reconsideration. File your grievance by 1:00 PM on 3 October 2026.
My name is spelled wrong on the list, or my NEET roll number is incorrect. How do I fix this?
File a grievance immediately. In Column 5, state: 'Name misspelled as [incorrect name]; correct name is [your name]' or 'NEET roll number listed as [wrong number]; correct number is [your number].' In Column 6, attach a copy of your NEET admit card showing the correct details. This is a straightforward correction and should be resolved quickly.
I am not on the tentative priority list at all. Can I file a grievance?
The notice does not explicitly provide a process for candidates not on the list to appeal. However, if you applied, attended the skill test, and submitted all required documents, you may try filing a grievance explaining why you should be on the list. Attach copies of your application confirmation, skill test attendance proof, and all submitted forms. Send it to ntruhssports@gmail.com by 1:00 PM on 3 October 2026, but be aware that the process is primarily designed for candidates already listed.
What if I submit my grievance at 1:05 PM on 3 October? Will it be considered?
No. The notice explicitly states: 'Any grievances received after last date & time and in any other mode will not be considered under any circumstances.' The deadline is 1:00 PM (13:00 hours) on 3 October 2026. Even one minute late, your grievance will be rejected. Submit well before the deadline.
Can I submit my grievance via WhatsApp or by calling the university?
No. The notice specifies email only: ntruhssports@gmail.com. Grievances submitted via WhatsApp, phone, SMS, in-person, or any other mode will not be considered. You must send both a signed PDF and an Excel file as email attachments.
What is the difference between 'Individual' and 'Team' category on the list?
Individual means you competed as a single athlete in your sport (e.g., boxing, archery, swimming). Team means you competed as part of a team (e.g., football, basketball, volleyball, handball). This affects how your achievement is evaluated but does not change the grievance process. If your category is marked incorrectly, you can file a grievance.
My certificate is from a sport that is not on the recognised list (e.g., yoga, modern pentathlon). Can I still file a grievance?
You can file a grievance, but the chances of success are low. If your sport is not officially recognised by SAAP, your certificate will not be accepted, even if you won a national championship. Check SAAP's official list of recognised sports before filing. If you believe your sport should be recognised, you can file a grievance explaining why, but be aware that SAAP's list is fixed and rarely changes mid-season.
When will the final priority list be published?
The notice does not specify a date. The university will review all grievances received by 1:00 PM on 3 October 2026 and then publish a final priority list. This typically takes a few days to a week, but the exact timeline is not stated. Keep checking the NTRUHS website (https://drntr.uhsap.in) for updates.
What happens after the final priority list is published?
Once the final priority list is released, candidates will be called for counselling and seat allotment. Your rank on the final list determines which colleges and courses (MBBS or BDS) you are eligible for. You will then participate in the counselling process to choose your college and course.
I submitted all my documents correctly and I am happy with my rank. Do I need to do anything?
No. If you are satisfied with your entry on the tentative priority list and have no grievances, you do not need to submit anything. Simply wait for the final priority list to be published and then participate in the counselling process when called.
If your name appears on the tentative Sports & Games quota priority list for MBBS/BDS 2026-27, review your entry carefully now. If you spot any errors—missing forms, rejected certificates, wrong name/roll number, or unjust ranking—file a grievance immediately. You have only until 1:00 PM on 3 October 2026. Prepare your grievance using the official template, attach supporting documents, and email both a signed PDF and Excel file to ntruhssports@gmail.com. After the deadline, no grievances will be accepted. Once all grievances are resolved, NTRUHS will publish the final priority list, and counselling will begin.
