This is the official eligibility determination for the PwBD (Persons with Benchmark Disability) quota under NEET PG 2026-27 postgraduate medical counselling in Andhra Pradesh. The PwBD quota is a reserved category for candidates with benchmark disabilities as defined by the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPwD) Act, 2016, and the guidelines issued by the National Medical Commission (NMC).
The list divides all candidates who applied under the PwBD quota into two groups: those declared eligible to participate in PwBD quota counselling and seat allotment, and those declared ineligible with the reason for rejection. Your eligibility status determines whether you can claim a PwBD quota seat during the counselling rounds.
Who must check this list?
Every candidate who submitted a NEET PG 2026-27 application and claimed the PwBD quota must check this list. This includes candidates with visual impairment, hearing impairment, locomotor disability, speech and hearing disability, intellectual disability, mental illness, specific learning disability, autism spectrum disorder, chronic neurological conditions, blood disorders, or any other benchmark disability recognised under the RPwD Act, 2016.

What does PwBD quota mean?
PwBD stands for Persons with Benchmark Disability. It is a reserved quota in postgraduate medical seats for candidates with disabilities recognised under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPwD) Act, 2016. Benchmark disability means the candidate has a disability of 40% or more (or 21% or more for specific learning disability and mental illness). The PwBD quota is separate from general, OBC, SC, and ST quotas.
How do I find my name on the list?
Open the PDF link provided by NTRUHS. Use the search function (Ctrl+F or Cmd+F) to search for your name, registration number, or roll number. The list is typically arranged in order of registration or roll number. Once you find your entry, check whether you are marked as eligible or ineligible.
What does 'eligible' mean on this list?
If you are marked as eligible, it means NTRUHS has verified your disability certificate and confirmed that you meet the PwBD quota criteria. You are now cleared to participate in PwBD quota seats during counselling. Your seat allotment will be based on your NEET PG rank and merit within the PwBD category.
What does 'ineligible' mean, and why might I be rejected?
If you are marked as ineligible, the notice will state the reason — commonly: disability certificate not submitted, certificate issued before the cutoff date, disability percentage below 40% (or 21% for specific learning disability/mental illness), certificate issued by a non-authorised authority, or certificate format not matching NMC guidelines. If you believe the rejection is wrong, file an appeal within the deadline specified by NTRUHS.
Can I appeal if I am marked ineligible?
Yes, if you believe the rejection is an error, you can file an appeal. Check the notice for the appeal deadline, process, and the authority to contact. Appeals must be filed within the specified timeframe — do not delay, as missing the deadline may result in loss of your PwBD quota claim.
What happens after this eligibility list is published?
After the eligibility list, NTRUHS will announce the counselling schedule, including dates for choice-filling, seat allotment, joining, and any subsequent rounds. Eligible candidates will be able to choose PwBD quota seats during choice-filling. Monitor the NTRUHS website for the next announcements.
What is the cutoff date for disability certificates?
The notice does not specify the cutoff date in the title. Check the full NTRUHS notification or counselling brochure for the exact cutoff date. Typically, disability certificates must be issued on or after a specified date (often the date of NEET PG exam or earlier). Certificates issued before the cutoff are usually rejected.
Can I use a disability certificate from a private doctor?
No. Disability certificates must be issued by a competent authority — typically a government medical college, district hospital, or authorised medical board. Certificates from private practitioners or non-authorised clinics are not accepted by NTRUHS.
What if my name does not appear on either the eligible or ineligible list?
If your name does not appear on the list, it may mean you did not apply under the PwBD quota, or your application was not processed. Contact NTRUHS directly to clarify your application status. Do not assume you are eligible; confirm with the authority.
When will seat allotment happen for PwBD quota?
The eligibility list does not announce allotment dates. NTRUHS will publish the counselling schedule separately, which will include the date of seat allotment. Monitor the NTRUHS website for the full counselling calendar.
Check the official NTRUHS link now to find your name on the PwBD quota eligibility list. If you are eligible, prepare for counselling. If ineligible and you believe it is an error, file an appeal immediately within the deadline specified by NTRUHS. Monitor the NTRUHS website for the counselling schedule and next steps.
