Dr NTR University of Health Sciences (NTRUHS), Vijayawada, the authority that conducts MBBS and BDS admissions under Competent Authority Quota in Andhra Pradesh, has released the provisional merit position of candidates who applied for the 2026-27 academic year. This is not a final merit list — it is a provisional one, meant for candidates to cross-check their own data before it is finalised. Along with the merit position, the university has also put up three separate lists: candidates who paid the fee but did not submit their application, candidates whose certificate verification is still pending, and candidates found not eligible. This notice is a continuation of an earlier notification dated 05-08-2026, and it was issued on 22-08-2026.
Every candidate must log in and verify their Gender, Category, Local Area, EWS, Minority and Anglo-Indian status on the provisional merit list, and file any grievance with valid proof before the deadline printed on the specific list — unsupported grievances will be rejected outright.
What exactly has been published
NTRUHS has displayed the Provisional Merit Position of all candidates who applied for MBBS and BDS courses under Competent Authority Quota for 2026-27 on the university website. This ranking is provisional — it can still change if candidates point out errors or if pending issues (like certificate verification) get resolved.
Along with the merit position, three additional lists have been uploaded so candidates can immediately see if there is a problem with their own application.
- List of candidates who paid the application fee but did not submit the application
- List of candidates whose certificate verification is still pending
- List of candidates found not eligible
Why you must check this even if your name is not in the 'problem' lists
Being absent from the three problem lists does not mean everything about your application is correct. The provisional merit list itself may contain errors in the details used to calculate your rank and category benefits. The notice specifically asks every candidate to verify these fields:
- Gender
- Category (Social Status) — for example OC, BC, SC, ST
- Local Area — the region-based reservation status used in AP counselling
- EWS (Economically Weaker Section) status
- Minority status
- Anglo-Indian status
The three lists explained — what they mean for you
Each of these lists points to a different kind of trouble. Understanding which one applies to you tells you what action is needed.
| List | What it means | What you should do |
|---|---|---|
| Fee paid but application not submitted | You paid money but the system does not show a completed application from you | Log in immediately and check if your application was actually submitted; if not, this needs urgent attention as you may be treated as a non-applicant |
| Certificate verification pending | The documents you uploaded have not yet been checked/cleared by the verifying officer | Check your login for any objection raised on your documents and respond with the correct document |
| Not eligible candidates | Your application has been reviewed and found to not meet eligibility criteria for this quota | If you believe this is wrong, raise a grievance with proof through your login before the deadline |
How and when to raise a grievance
If you find any mismatch in your Gender, Category, Local Area, EWS, Minority or Anglo-Indian status on the merit list — or if you are on the 'not eligible' or 'certificate verification pending' lists and disagree — you must raise a grievance through your own login ID on the NTRUHS portal.
The notice is clear on one point: every grievance must be submitted along with proof, in the form of a valid supporting document. A grievance filed without proper supporting documents will simply not be considered by the university, no matter how valid the underlying issue is.
The deadline to submit grievances is not a single fixed date for everyone — the notice states that each of the three lists carries its own deadline printed at the top of that list. Candidates must open each list on the university website and check the specific date mentioned there for that list.
- Log in with your candidate credentials on the NTRUHS admissions portal
- Open the provisional merit list and the three additional lists
- Check the deadline printed at the top of each relevant list
- Verify all your personal and category details
- Upload proof and submit your grievance before that list's deadline
- Do not submit a grievance without a supporting document — it will be rejected
Common traps to avoid
Because this is a provisional stage and not a final list, small oversights now can cause bigger problems later in the counselling process. Keep these in mind.
- Do not assume 'fee paid' means 'application submitted' — these are treated as two separate steps by NTRUHS, and the notice shows a dedicated list for candidates who only completed the fee payment step.
- Category, EWS, Minority and Anglo-Indian status must each be backed by the correct certificate type — an error here can affect the reservation benefit you are counting on.
- A grievance filed without valid proof will not be entertained at all, so gather your documents before you start the grievance process, not after.
- Each list has its own deadline shown at the top of that list — do not assume one common last date applies to all three lists.

Is this the final merit list for MBBS/BDS admissions in Andhra Pradesh?
No. This is a provisional merit position. It is published so candidates can check their details and raise grievances before the list is finalised.
I paid the application fee — does that mean my application is complete?
Not necessarily. NTRUHS has released a separate list of candidates who paid the fee but did not submit the application. Check this list and your login status to confirm your application was actually submitted.
What should I do if I am on the 'not eligible' list but believe I am eligible?
Log in with your candidate ID and submit a grievance along with valid proof of your eligibility before the deadline printed at the top of that list. Grievances without supporting documents will not be considered.
My category or Local Area status shown in the merit list is wrong. What now?
Raise a grievance through your login ID, attaching proof of the correct category, EWS, Minority, Anglo-Indian, Local Area or Gender status, before the deadline for that list.
Where can I find the deadline to submit my grievance?
The notice does not give one common deadline. It says the deadline is printed at the top of each specific list — the merit list and the three additional lists each carry their own date, so check the list relevant to you on the NTRUHS website.
What happens if I submit a grievance without any document?
It will not be considered. The notice explicitly states that grievances submitted without proper supporting documents will be rejected.
Does this notice apply to All India Quota seats too?
No. This notice is specifically about admissions under Competent Authority Quota, which is the quota filled through the state (NTRUHS) counselling process in Andhra Pradesh.
If you applied for MBBS or BDS 2026-27 under Competent Authority Quota through NTRUHS, log in right away and check all four lists — the provisional merit position and the three problem lists — for your name and details. If anything is wrong, gather your proof documents and file a grievance before the deadline shown on that specific list; do not wait until the last day.
