If you registered for MBBS or BDS admission under Telangana's state-level Competent Authority Quota, a key checkpoint has just arrived. The Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS) has put out a provisional merit list showing which candidates who completed online registration and document verification are currently considered eligible for counselling, along with a separate list of candidates marked ineligible. This is a provisional list, meaning it can still be corrected — but only if you flag an error within a very short window. Anyone who spots a mistake in their NEET rank, marks, category, or local-area (domicile) status, or who has been wrongly placed in the ineligible list, needs to act within roughly a day of the list going live, since the deadline for grievances is fixed and strictly enforced.
Check your name, NEET AIR, category and domicile details on the KNRUHS provisional merit list immediately, and if anything is wrong, email your objection with attested documents to knrugadmission@gmail.com before 12 noon on August 26, 2026 — no exceptions will be made after that.
What the provisional list actually contains
KNRUHS has released two lists on its official website: one of candidates found eligible for the state quota MBBS/BDS counselling process, and one of candidates found ineligible. Both lists are drawn only from applicants who had already finished online registration and had their documents verified by the university.
The eligible-list entries show each candidate's NEET All India Rank (AIR), state rank, marks, category and domicile (local-area) status. Since this data will decide your rank position and reservation benefit in later rounds of counselling, even a small clerical mismatch — a wrong category code or an incorrectly recorded local status — can affect your seat allotment down the line.
The grievance window: dates and process
This is the one part of the process aspirants cannot afford to miss. KNRUHS has kept the correction window deliberately short, and it will not be extended for individual cases.
- Grievance email ID: knrugadmission@gmail.com
- Deadline: 12:00 noon on August 26, 2026 — emails received even a few minutes later will not be considered
- What to attach: a written representation along with self-attested copies of your NEET marksheet, SSC and Intermediate bonafide/study certificates, and caste or domicile certificate (as applicable to your objection)
- Who should write in: anyone with an error in personal details, NEET marks, local-area status, or category, and anyone who believes they were wrongly placed on the ineligible list
What happens after the grievance deadline
Once the noon deadline on August 26 passes, KNRUHS will examine the objections it has received and issue a final merit list along with the seat matrix — the count of seats available government college-wise, category-wise and quota-wise. This final list becomes the basis for the actual counselling rounds.
The very next step after that is Phase-I web-option entry, where eligible candidates log in and arrange their choices of college and course in order of preference. Your position on the final merit list, not the provisional one, is what will determine your turn and the seats you can realistically expect.
Why this matters even if your name looks correct
It is tempting to assume that if your name appears in the eligible list, there is nothing more to do until option entry begins. But mistakes in rank, category classification, or local-area status are common in large merit lists compiled from thousands of applications, and they are far easier to fix now than after seat allotment.
Once the final list and seat matrix are published, KNRUHS is unlikely to entertain fresh corrections outside a formal appeal process, which can be slower and riskier if you are trying to lock in a seat during a live counselling round. Verifying your entry now, while the grievance window is open, is the safer and faster route.
A quick checklist before you file a grievance
If you plan to write to KNRUHS, keep your submission tight and complete so it doesn't get rejected on a technicality.
- Match your entry against your original NEET scorecard, admit card and rank letter
- Cross-check the category shown (general, OBC, SC, ST, EWS, PwBD) against your certificate
- Confirm your local-area/domicile status matches your SSC and Intermediate study certificates
- Scan and attach self-attested copies, not photos, wherever the university asks for attested documents
- Send the email well before noon on August 26, 2026 — do not wait until the last hour

Who is this merit list for?
It is for candidates applying to MBBS and BDS seats in Telangana under the Competent Authority Quota (the state-level quota), for the 2026-27 academic year, who had already completed online registration and document verification with KNRUHS.
What if my name is on the ineligible list by mistake?
You can raise this as a grievance. Email knrugadmission@gmail.com before 12 noon on August 26, 2026, with a written representation and attested copies of your NEET marksheet and other relevant certificates explaining why you believe you were wrongly marked ineligible.
Can I submit my grievance after the deadline if I have a genuine problem?
No. KNRUHS has stated that grievances received after 12:00 noon on August 26, 2026 will not be considered under any circumstances, so there is no late-submission provision mentioned.
What documents do I need to attach with my grievance?
A representation letter along with self-attested copies of your NEET marksheet, SSC and Intermediate bonafide or study certificates, and your caste or domicile certificate where relevant to your objection.
What comes after the grievance deadline closes?
KNRUHS will review all objections and then publish the final merit list along with the seat matrix (seats available by college, category and quota), followed by the schedule for Phase-I web option entry.
Does my rank on the provisional list guarantee my final counselling rank?
No. The provisional list can change after grievances are resolved. Only the final merit list, released after the correction window closes, is used for seat allotment decisions.
Telangana NEET-UG aspirants under the state quota should treat the next 24-hour window as urgent: open the KNRUHS list, verify every detail against your original documents, and email any correction with proof before the noon deadline on August 26, 2026. Once the final merit list and seat matrix are out, the focus shifts immediately to preparing choices for Phase-I web option entry.
