Dr. N.T.R. University of Health Sciences (NTRUHS), Vijayawada — the authority that runs Andhra Pradesh's state-level MBBS/BDS counselling under the Competent Authority Quota — has announced a schedule for physical verification of original certificates. This applies only to candidates who applied for admission reservation under the 'Sports & Games' category for MBBS and BDS courses for the 2026-27 academic year. The verification, done jointly with the Sports Authority of Andhra Pradesh (SAAP), will happen on two dates at the university's Vijayawada campus. This is not a counselling round or a merit list — it is a mandatory in-person check of your sports certificates and academic documents that decides whether you actually get to compete for a Sports & Games quota seat.
If you applied under the Sports & Games category, you must appear in person with all original documents on your allotted date (31 August or 1 September 2026) — missing it means you lose the Sports & Games category benefit permanently, with no further correspondence entertained.
What this notice is about
NTRUHS conducts admissions to MBBS and BDS seats under the Competent Authority Quota — these are the seats the Andhra Pradesh state authority fills through its own counselling, separate from the All India Quota run by the MCC. Within this quota, some seats are reserved for candidates with proven achievements in sports, under the 'Sports & Games' category.
Before any such candidate can be considered for a Sports & Games quota seat, their sports achievement certificates and academic records must be physically checked and confirmed by the Sports Authority of Andhra Pradesh (SAAP) officials at the university. This notice, issued on 25 August 2026, gives the exact date, time and venue for that verification, along with the full list of eligible candidates by NEET roll number and rank.
Verification schedule — dates, timing and venue
Verification is split across two days based on each candidate's serial number (Sl. No.) in the official list attached to the notice. The list runs from Sl. No. 1 to 249 in descending order of NEET rank.
| Date | Time | Sl. No. range | Venue |
|---|---|---|---|
| 31.08.2026 (Day 1) | From 10:00 AM onwards | 1 to 125 | Silver Jubilee Block, 2nd Floor, Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences, Vijayawada |
| 01.09.2026 (Day 2) | From 10:00 AM onwards | 126 to 249 (Last Candidate) | Silver Jubilee Block, 2nd Floor, Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences, Vijayawada |
How to find your slot
The notice includes the full list of 249 candidates, identified by NEET roll number, NEET rank, NEET score, name (as per NEET) and gender — not by application number. Check the official list carefully for your own NEET roll number to find your serial number, and match that serial number to Day 1 or Day 2 in the table above.
The university has also warned that verification may run into extra time, so candidates should be prepared to stay one additional day if the process is not completed on their scheduled date.
Documents you must bring — in original, plus two photocopy sets
Every document below must be produced in original, along with two sets of photostat (photocopy) copies. Missing even one document, or carrying only photocopies without originals, can result in your certificate not being accepted for verification.
- 10th Class marks memo AND Intermediate (+2) marks memo
- UG NEET – 2026 Rank Card
- Aadhar Card
- Sports achievement certificates (the certificates proving your sports performance/level)
- Backup certificates supporting your highest sports achievement
- The relevant prescribed form — Form I, Form II, Form III or Form IV, as applicable to your case (as listed in the SAAP-prescribed format)
- 2 passport-size photographs of the candidate
What happens if you cannot attend or your documents fail verification
This is the most important line in the notice: candidates who do not appear for physical verification on their scheduled date before the SAAP authorities will simply not be considered under the Sports & Games category. The university has explicitly stated that no correspondence will be entertained afterward — there is no appeal process or re-scheduling mentioned in this notice.
This means a candidate who misses their verification date does not automatically lose their MBBS/BDS candidature altogether, but they will lose the specific benefit of a Sports & Games reserved seat and will be evaluated only under their other applicable category/quota, if any.
Practical tips before you go
Since this verification decides your eligibility for a reserved category seat, treat it as seriously as an exam. A few practical points from the notice worth double-checking before you travel to Vijayawada:
- Arrive well before 10:00 AM on your allotted day — 31 August for Sl. No. 1–125, 1 September for Sl. No. 126–249.
- Carry two photocopy sets of every original document — one set alone will not be sufficient.
- Make sure your highest sports achievement certificate has 'backup' supporting certificates ready — the notice specifically asks for these.
- Identify which of Form I, II, III or IV applies to your sports category/level in advance, so you are not filling it out at the venue.
- Budget for an extra day's stay in Vijayawada in case verification takes longer than expected.

Who needs to attend this verification?
Only candidates who applied for the 'Sports & Games' reservation category under Andhra Pradesh's Competent Authority Quota for MBBS/BDS admission, 2026-27. If you did not apply under this category, this notice does not apply to you.
How do I know if I should go on 31 August or 1 September?
Find your NEET roll number in the official candidate list attached to the notice. If your serial number (Sl. No.) is between 1 and 125, report on 31 August 2026; if it is 126 or higher (up to the last candidate, Sl. No. 249), report on 1 September 2026.
What is the venue?
Silver Jubilee Block, 2nd Floor, Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences, Vijayawada. Reporting time is 10:00 AM onwards on both days.
What if I only have photocopies and not the originals with me?
The notice requires all documents in original along with two sets of photocopies. Bringing only photocopies is not acceptable — you must carry the originals for physical verification.
What happens if I miss my scheduled date?
The notice states clearly that candidates who do not appear for verification on their scheduled date before the SAAP authorities will not be considered under the Sports & Games category, and no correspondence will be entertained afterward. There is no mention of a make-up date.
Which forms (Form I, II, III, IV) do I need?
The notice asks for 'the relevant form (Form I, Form II, Form III or Form IV) as prescribed in the list' — meaning the specific form that applies to your sports category/achievement level, as prescribed by the Sports Authority of Andhra Pradesh. Check the detailed prescribed list to identify which form applies to you before the verification date.
Do I need my NEET 2026 rank card even though this is a state quota process?
Yes. The UG NEET – 2026 rank card is explicitly listed as one of the mandatory original documents to be produced during this verification.
Is this the same as MBBS/BDS seat allotment?
No. This is only a certificate verification step to confirm your eligibility for the Sports & Games reserved category. Seat allotment under the Competent Authority Quota happens through a separate counselling process after eligibility checks like this one are completed.
If you applied under the Sports & Games category for AP's Competent Authority Quota MBBS/BDS admissions, locate your NEET roll number in the official list, note your reporting date and time, and gather every original document plus two photocopy sets well in advance. Reach the venue on time on 31 August or 1 September 2026 as applicable, and keep an extra day free in case the process runs long — missing this step cannot be corrected later.
