Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences (NTRUHS), Vijayawada, has published the final priority-wise list of candidates declared eligible under the Scouts and Guides category for MBBS and BDS admissions under Andhra Pradesh's Competent Authority Quota for the academic year 2026-27. This is not a fresh application window — it is a result-type notice. It lists 43 candidates who hold Bharat Scouts and Guides awards and were checked and confirmed eligible after the university examined objections (grievances) raised against an earlier list. The list is arranged by priority, from Priority II (Rajyapuraskar Award holders) down to Priority V (Prathamsopan Award holders), and every candidate on it is marked "Eligible."
If your name appears on this final Scouts and Guides list, you are confirmed eligible for the Scouts and Guides reservation benefit in AP's MBBS/BDS Competent Authority Quota counselling for 2026-27 — your seat allotment within this quota will follow the priority order shown against your award level.
What exactly has NTRUHS released?
NTRUHS runs the Competent Authority Quota (CAQ) — the seats the Andhra Pradesh government fills through its own counselling — for MBBS and BDS seats in the state for 2026-27. Within this quota, candidates who hold recognised Bharat Scouts and Guides awards can claim a special reservation benefit, provided they registered for it and submitted the required award certificate.
This notice is the 'priority-wise final list of eligible candidates under Scouts and Guides category after examination of grievances.' In plain terms: some candidates who were initially left out, or whose priority level was disputed, raised objections (grievances). NTRUHS reviewed those objections and is now publishing the final, settled list — 43 candidates in total — along with each candidate's NEET rank, score, category, and the priority level their award entitles them to.
The list is signed by the Registrar and dated 01-09-2026.
How the Scouts and Guides priority order works
The Scouts and Guides quota is not a flat reservation — it is ranked by the level of award a candidate holds. Higher awards get earlier priority when seats are allotted within this category. Based on this notice, the priority levels seen are:
- Priority II — Rajyapuraskar Award holders (30 candidates on this list)
- Priority III — Tritiyasopan Award holders (11 candidates on this list)
- Priority IV — Dwitiyasopan Award holders (1 candidate on this list)
- Priority V — Prathamsopan Award holders (1 candidate on this list)
| Award | Priority Level | No. of Eligible Candidates (this list) |
|---|---|---|
| Rajyapuraskar Award | II | 30 |
| Tritiyasopan Award | III | 11 |
| Dwitiyasopan Award | IV | 1 |
| Prathamsopan Award | V | 1 |
Who is on the list — how to check your name
The list gives each candidate's Registration Number (format UG26CQ...), NEET-UG 2026 All-India Rank, NEET score, name, date of birth, social category (OC, BC-A/B/D/E, SC, ST with sub-groups like G-II/G-III where applicable), area/zone (AU, SVU, APNL), the Scouts and Guides award held, the priority level, and the eligibility status.
Every one of the 43 candidates is marked 'Eligible.' Candidates should match their own Registration Number and NEET rank against the list to confirm their entry, rather than relying on name spelling alone, since names can be transliterated differently across documents.
- Check your unique Registration Number (UG26CQ0XXXXXXX) against the list — this is the safest way to confirm your entry.
- Cross-check your NEET-UG 2026 rank and score against what is shown; a mismatch could mean a data entry issue you should raise with NTRUHS.
- Note the Area code (AU, SVU, or APNL) attached to your name — this indicates the zone under which your candidature was processed.
The grievance case worth noting
One entry on the list — Varimadugu Pranathi (Registration No. UG26CQ01005158) — carries a specific remark: 'Grievance examined and as per the relevant G.O. and considered under Priority-III.' This shows that at least one candidate's priority level was contested and corrected after review, based on a Government Order (G.O.).
This is a reminder that priority and category assignments in reservation lists are not always final on the first publication — candidates who believe their award, category, or priority has been recorded incorrectly can raise a grievance with the university, and corrections are possible before seat allotment.
Why this matters if you're not a Scouts and Guides applicant
This notice only concerns candidates who registered for the Scouts and Guides reservation benefit under AP's Competent Authority Quota. If you did not apply under this category, this specific list does not affect your seat allotment. However, it is a useful signal that NTRUHS is actively finalising special-category eligibility lists ahead of seat allotment rounds for MBBS/BDS admissions 2026-27 in Andhra Pradesh, so general and other special-category candidates should keep watching the NTRUHS counselling portal for their own category-wise lists and the overall seat allotment schedule.
What to do if you are on this list
Being declared 'Eligible' on this list confirms your Scouts and Guides claim has been accepted for the 2026-27 Competent Authority Quota counselling. It does not by itself allot you a seat — seat allotment happens in the subsequent counselling rounds run by NTRUHS, where your priority level (II, III, IV, or V) will be used alongside your NEET rank to decide the order in which Scouts and Guides candidates are considered.
- Keep your original Scouts and Guides award certificate ready — you will very likely need to produce it again at document verification or seat allotment.
- Watch the NTRUHS website for the next steps in Competent Authority Quota counselling — option entry, seat allotment result, and reporting dates.
- If you spot an error in your rank, category, or personal details on this list, contact NTRUHS promptly through their official grievance channel — do not wait until seat allotment.

What is the Scouts and Guides category in AP's MBBS/BDS counselling?
It is a special reservation benefit within Andhra Pradesh's Competent Authority Quota for candidates who hold recognised Bharat Scouts and Guides awards. Eligible candidates get priority consideration based on the level of award they hold.
Does 'Priority II, III, IV, V' mean rank order among all candidates?
No. These are priority levels specific to the Scouts and Guides category, based on award level (Rajyapuraskar is Priority II, Tritiyasopan is Priority III, Dwitiyasopan is Priority IV, Prathamsopan is Priority V in this list). Within each priority level, NEET rank still matters for seat allotment.
I applied under Scouts and Guides but my name isn't on this list — what does that mean?
The notice does not explain the status of candidates not listed. If you applied under this category and don't find your name, contact NTRUHS directly to check your application status and whether you need to file a grievance.
What was the grievance redressal mentioned in the notice?
NTRUHS reviewed objections raised against an earlier version of this list. One candidate's priority level was specifically corrected to Priority III based on a Government Order, showing that this final list reflects those corrections.
Does being on this list guarantee me an MBBS or BDS seat?
No. It confirms your eligibility for the Scouts and Guides reservation benefit within the Competent Authority Quota. Actual seat allotment depends on your NEET rank, priority level, seat availability, and your choices in the counselling rounds that follow.
What documents will I need going forward?
The notice does not list document requirements, but candidates claiming this category should keep their original Scouts and Guides award certificate and NEET UG 2026 documents ready, since these will likely be checked again at verification or allotment.
Where can I see the full list of 43 candidates?
The complete list with all registration numbers, ranks, scores, categories, and remarks is published in the official NTRUHS notification dated 01-09-2026.
If you registered under the Scouts and Guides category for AP's MBBS/BDS Competent Authority Quota 2026-27, check your Registration Number and NEET rank against this list right away and keep your award certificate ready. For any discrepancy, raise it with NTRUHS immediately rather than waiting for seat allotment, and keep tracking the NTRUHS portal for the next counselling steps.
