Dr. N.T.R. University of Health Sciences (Dr. NTRUHS), which conducts MBBS and BDS admissions in Andhra Pradesh through NEET UG, has issued a public advisory dated 25 July 2026 for aspirants of 2026 medical and dental admissions. This is not a schedule, result or application notice — it is a warning. The University says it has noticed individuals, consultants, brokers, YouTubers and social media groups falsely claiming they can secure MBBS or BDS seats through influence, payment or 'contacts', and it wants every candidate and parent to know that no such shortcut exists. The advisory explains exactly how genuine seat allotment works and lists the common tricks fraudsters use, so that families do not lose money or, worse, miss a real seat while chasing a fake promise.
Every MBBS and BDS seat in Andhra Pradesh — whether under Competent Authority (Convener) Quota or Management/NRI Quota — is allotted only through the online counselling process based on NEET rank, reservation rules and web options; no individual, consultant or agency can secure or influence a seat outside this system.
Why NTRUHS issued this advisory
NTRUHS says it has observed people — including individuals posing as agents, consultants, YouTubers and administrators of WhatsApp or social media groups — misleading students and parents ahead of 2026 admissions. These people falsely claim to have contacts with government officials, political leaders, university authorities or staff, and sometimes show fake contact numbers or forged documents to appear credible. The University states plainly that all such claims are false and are meant only to cheat candidates and parents out of money.
How genuine MBBS/BDS admission actually works in AP
The advisory sets out, quota by quota, the only basis on which seats can be allotted. There is no exception to this process for any category of seat.
- State Quota admissions to all UG and PG medical and dental courses are conducted only through the online counselling process, following applicable government rules.
- Competent Authority (Convener) Quota seats are allotted strictly on NEET rank/merit, applicable reservation rules, and the web options exercised by eligible candidates.
- Management Quota (B-Category and NRI Quota) seats are allotted strictly on NEET rank/merit and phase-wise web options exercised by eligible candidates under the respective quota.
- No person, consultant or agency can influence or alter this process — this line is emphasised by the University itself.
False promises to watch out for
The University lists specific claims that fraudsters commonly make to lure candidates. If anyone tells you any of the following, treat it as a red flag, not an opportunity.
- A guaranteed MBBS or BDS seat
- 'Direct admission' outside the counselling process
- Admission with a low NEET rank or score that would not normally qualify
- Admission without NEET altogether
- Seats at lower fees through unofficial channels
Important points every candidate must remember
These points come directly from the advisory and apply to every NEET UG 2026 aspirant seeking an MBBS or BDS seat in Andhra Pradesh.
- Qualifying NEET UG with a score equal to or above the applicable cutoff is mandatory for admission to any medical or dental course, as per National Medical Commission (NMC) regulations.
- University officials never demand cash or any personal payment for allotment of a seat.
- Do not believe unofficial advertisements, videos, WhatsApp messages or social media posts about admissions.
- Always verify admission-related information only through the official website: https://drntr.uhsap.in.
- Responsibility for verifying the authenticity of any information rests with the candidate and parent — the University will not compensate for losses caused by trusting unofficial sources.
Four warning signs of a fake admission agency
The advisory describes four specific patterns fraudsters use. Recognising these can save a family from losing money and, in some cases, losing a genuine seat by getting distracted from the real counselling process.
- Promise of guaranteed admission: anyone claiming they can get an MBBS or BDS seat regardless of your NEET rank, without following the prescribed process, is committing fraud.
- Demand for advance payment: fraudsters ask for advance cash, transactions or deposits into personal bank accounts before admission is confirmed. Never pay any individual or private account for admission.
- No genuine office or identity: many fake consultants operate only via social media, WhatsApp or phone calls, with no registered office or verifiable address.
- Fake allotment letters: some fraudsters prepare forged allotment letters with fake seals or logos. Genuine seat allotment letters are issued only through the official NTRUHS online counselling system — always verify allotment details on the University website.
Protecting your counselling account
During online counselling, candidates handle sensitive login details that must never be shared with anyone outside the process — not even someone claiming to 'help' you apply.
- Never share your User ID
- Never share your Password
- Never share any OTP (one-time password) sent to you
- Never share other login credentials
- Never share personal admission details with any consultant, agent or agency
What to do if you suspect fraud
If a candidate or parent comes across any suspicious offer or claim, the University has laid out clear steps to take rather than staying silent or engaging with the fraudster.
- Lodge a complaint with the nearest Police Station
- Report the matter through the Cyber Crime Portal or other appropriate authorities
- Inform the University where necessary
- Help create awareness by warning other students and parents about the scam
Legal consequences and the University's final message
NTRUHS has spelled out that this is not just a moral warning but a legal one. Preparing, using or circulating forged, fabricated or digitally altered admission documents is a punishable offence under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and the Information Technology Act, 2000, apart from other applicable laws.
The advisory also clarifies that no individual — including current or former University employees, agents, intermediaries, consultants, YouTubers or relatives of employees — has any authority to influence or secure admission outside the prescribed counselling process. Anyone making such a claim is attempting to defraud you.
The University closes with a direct message to families: there are no shortcuts to a genuine medical or dental admission, and every seat is allotted strictly on merit and according to prescribed rules. If a candidate or parent chooses to pay money or offer favours to someone claiming unofficial influence, the responsibility for any resulting loss lies with them, not the University.
