What does 'provisional' mean?
A provisional merit list is not final. It is published to allow candidates to verify their registration details and raise objections or corrections if needed. KNRUHS may update or correct the list based on candidate feedback and verification.
After the provisional list, KNRUHS will typically announce a final merit list once all objections have been reviewed and resolved. Candidates should check for any announcements about the objection period and the final list publication date.
What to do if your name is on the list
If your name appears on the provisional merit list, verify that all your details — name, registration number, rank, category, and programme applied for — are correct. If you spot any error, note it carefully.

What to do if your name is NOT on the list
If your name does not appear on the provisional merit list, it may mean your registration was not accepted, your application was incomplete, or you did not meet the eligibility criteria. Check your email and the KNRUHS website for any rejection or clarification notices.
Contact KNRUHS admissions office immediately to find out why your registration was not included. There may be an opportunity to correct your application or submit missing documents during the objection period.
Important: Do not miss the objection period
KNRUHS will announce a deadline by which candidates can raise objections or request corrections to the provisional merit list. This is your only chance to correct errors in your registration, rank calculation, or category classification before the final list is published.
Mark the objection deadline on your calendar and submit any corrections well before the deadline. Objections submitted after the deadline will not be entertained. Follow the exact procedure and format specified by KNRUHS for submitting objections.
Next steps in the counselling process
After the provisional merit list and objection period, KNRUHS will publish a final merit list. Candidates will then be invited to participate in seat allotment rounds, where they can choose their preferred college and speciality based on their rank and availability of seats.
Counselling rounds may be conducted online or offline, depending on KNRUHS guidelines. Candidates must be ready to participate on the announced dates and must have all required documents ready for verification and joining.

What is the Competent Authority Quota?
The Competent Authority Quota (CAQ) refers to postgraduate medical seats that the Telangana state government fills through its own counselling process, separate from the national NEET-PG counselling run by MCC. KNRUHS conducts CAQ counselling for candidates who applied specifically for these state-reserved seats.
Why is the list called 'provisional'?
A provisional merit list is not final. It is published first to allow candidates to verify their details and raise objections if there are errors. After the objection period, KNRUHS will publish a final merit list that incorporates any corrections.
How do I find my name on the PDF list?
Open the PDF on your computer and use the search function: press Ctrl+F (Windows) or Cmd+F (Mac), then type your name, registration number, or roll number. The browser will highlight your entry if it exists in the document.
What should I do if my name is not on the list?

What if I find an error in my details on the list?
Note the error carefully and wait for KNRUHS to announce the objection period. During this period, submit a formal objection with supporting documents to correct the error. Do not miss the objection deadline, as corrections after that will not be accepted.
When will the final merit list be published?
KNRUHS will announce the date for the final merit list after the objection period closes. Keep checking the KNRUHS website and your email for updates. The final list will incorporate all approved corrections and objections.
What happens after the final merit list?

Is this list the same as the national NEET-PG merit list?
No. This is the KNRUHS Competent Authority Quota merit list, which is separate from the national NEET-PG merit list published by MCC. Candidates who applied for CAQ seats participate in KNRUHS counselling; those who applied for national-level seats participate in MCC counselling.
Can I download the entire list?
