This is the provisional merit list of in-service candidates who have applied for postgraduate medical seats under the Competent Authority Quota (CQ) for the 2026-27 academic session. The CQ is a quota of seats that the state fills through its own counselling process, separate from the national NEET PG counselling run by MCC. In-service candidates are MBBS doctors already employed in government health services in Andhra Pradesh.
The list ranks candidates based on their NEET PG 2026 score and other eligibility criteria set by NTRUHS. This is a provisional list — it may be updated if any candidate's eligibility is challenged or if corrections are needed. Candidates must verify their details and eligibility status on the list immediately.

Any MBBS doctor who applied for NEET PG 2026-27 counselling under the Competent Authority Quota (CQ) category as an in-service candidate in Andhra Pradesh must check this merit list. If you are an in-service candidate and your name appears on the list, you are eligible to proceed to the next stage of counselling — typically choice-filling and seat allotment.
If your name does not appear, or if you believe there is an error in your rank or eligibility status, you must contact NTRUHS immediately with proof of your application and eligibility documents.
Where to find the merit list

What to do if your name is on the list
If your name appears on the merit list, verify that all your details — name, registration number, NEET PG score, and category — are correct. Check your rank carefully, as this determines your priority in choice-filling and seat allotment. If everything is correct, wait for the next official announcement from NTRUHS regarding the dates for choice-filling (selecting your preferred specialties and colleges).

Do not assume you have a seat yet. The merit list is only the first step. Your final seat depends on your rank, your choices, and the number of seats available in each specialty and college under the CQ quota.
What to do if your name is NOT on the list
If you applied as an in-service candidate under CQ but your name does not appear on the merit list, it may mean your application was rejected due to incomplete documents, ineligibility, or a technical error. Check your email and the NTRUHS portal for any rejection notice or reason.
If you believe this is an error, contact the NTRUHS PG Admissions Cell immediately with your application number, NEET PG registration number, and proof of your eligibility (employment certificate, MBBS degree, NEET PG admit card). Do this as soon as possible — there may be a deadline for filing objections or corrections.
What happens next?
After the merit list is finalized (following any objections or corrections), NTRUHS will announce the dates for choice-filling. Candidates on the merit list will log into the counselling portal, select their preferred specialties and colleges in order of preference, and submit their choices. The university will then run the seat allotment algorithm and publish the allotment result.
Keep checking the NTRUHS website and your registered email for announcements about choice-filling dates, allotment results, and joining instructions. Missing a deadline can result in loss of your seat.

What is the Competent Authority Quota (CQ)?
The CQ is a quota of postgraduate medical seats that Andhra Pradesh fills through its own counselling process, separate from the national NEET PG counselling. These seats are typically reserved for in-service candidates (MBBS doctors already employed in government health services) and are counselled by NTRUHS.
Is this merit list final, or can it change?
This is a provisional merit list, which means it may be updated if any candidate's eligibility is challenged, if documents are found to be incorrect, or if corrections are needed. Candidates have a window to file objections. Always check for any official notification about finalization.
What if I see an error in my name, score or rank on the merit list?
Contact the NTRUHS PG Admissions Cell immediately with your application number, NEET PG registration number, and proof of the correct information. File a formal objection or correction request as per the process announced by NTRUHS. Do this urgently — there is usually a deadline for objections.
If my name is on the merit list, am I guaranteed a seat?
No. Being on the merit list means you are eligible to participate in choice-filling and seat allotment. Your final seat depends on your rank, your choices, and the number of seats available in each specialty and college under the CQ quota. A higher rank gives you better chances.
When will choice-filling happen?
NTRUHS will announce the dates for choice-filling after the merit list is finalized. Check the official NTRUHS website and your registered email regularly for this announcement. Do not miss the choice-filling window — if you do not submit your choices, you will not be allotted a seat.
What documents do I need to bring to the counselling centre?
NTRUHS will announce the list of required documents (typically MBBS degree, NEET PG admit card, employment certificate, category certificate if applicable, and identity proof) in the choice-filling or allotment notification. Prepare these in advance and keep them ready.
Can I apply under CQ if I am not an in-service candidate?
No. The CQ is specifically for in-service candidates — MBBS doctors already employed in government health services in Andhra Pradesh. If you do not meet this criterion, you must apply under the general or other applicable quota in the national NEET PG counselling or state counselling.
What if I applied but my application was rejected?
Check your email and the NTRUHS portal for the rejection reason. Common reasons include incomplete documents, ineligibility, or incorrect information. If you believe the rejection is an error, contact NTRUHS immediately with proof of your eligibility and request a review.
How do I download the merit list?
Visit the official NTRUHS website at https://drntr.uhsap.in/, go to the notifications section, and download the PDF document titled 'PG (Medical) CQ 2026-27 - Provisional Merit list of In-service candidates'. The file is large and contains all in-service candidates ranked by merit.
What is my next step after checking the merit list?
Verify your details on the merit list. If there are errors, file an objection immediately. If everything is correct, wait for the choice-filling announcement from NTRUHS. Keep your email and phone active for all official communications from the university.
Check the NTRUHS merit list immediately at https://drntr.uhsap.in/ to verify your name, rank and eligibility. If you see any errors, contact NTRUHS without delay.
