Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS), Telangana, has extended the reporting deadline for MBBS Phase-II allotments under Competent Authority Quota (CQ). The Phase-II allotments were issued on 15 September 2026. The original reporting deadline was 19 September 2026 at 4:00 PM, but has now been extended to 21 September 2026 at 4:00 PM. This extension gives candidates who have been allotted seats two extra days to physically report to their assigned college and complete the admission process. If you have received a CQ Phase-II allotment and have not yet reported, this notice directly affects you — missing the new deadline will result in forfeiture of your seat.
If you have a CQ Phase-II MBBS allotment in Telangana, you must report to your college by 4:00 PM on 21 September 2026, or your seat will be cancelled.
What is this notice about?
This is an official extension of the reporting deadline for candidates who received MBBS seats in Phase-II of Telangana's Competent Authority Quota (CQ) counselling for the 2026-27 academic year. The Competent Authority Quota is a set of MBBS seats that the Telangana government fills through its own counselling process, separate from the national NEET counselling.
Phase-II allotments were released on 15 September 2026. Candidates who were allotted seats were originally given until 19 September 2026 at 4:00 PM to report to their assigned college. The university has now extended this deadline by two days to 21 September 2026 at 4:00 PM to allow more candidates time to complete the reporting and admission formalities.
Who does this extension apply to?
This extension applies only to candidates who have received an MBBS seat allotment in CQ Phase-II and have not yet reported to their assigned college. If you received an allotment letter on or around 15 September 2026 and have not physically visited your college to complete admission, this notice is for you.
If you have already reported to your college before 19 September 2026, this extension does not affect you — your admission process is already underway. If you did not receive a CQ Phase-II allotment, this notice does not apply to you.
The new reporting deadline: 21 September 2026, 4:00 PM
The absolute last date and time to report to your allotted college is 4:00 PM (16:00 hours) on 21 September 2026. This is a hard deadline — reporting even one minute after 4:00 PM may result in your seat being cancelled. You must physically present yourself at your assigned college with all required documents and complete the admission formalities (document verification, fee payment, hostel registration, etc.) within this time window.
The university has instructed all medical college principals to submit the status of which candidates have reported and which have not by 4:30 PM on 21 September 2026. This means colleges will begin processing non-reporting candidates immediately after the deadline, and seats will be forfeited without further notice.
What you must do before the deadline
You must travel to your allotted college and report in person. Do not assume that reporting online or by email is acceptable — the notice specifically says 'reporting at the allotted college', which means physical presence. Bring all original documents (NEET admit card, NEET scorecard, 10th and 12th certificates, caste certificate if applicable, domicile certificate, medical fitness certificate, and any other documents your college has listed in its admission prospectus).
Once you arrive at the college, you will undergo document verification, pay the admission fee, and complete other formalities such as hostel registration and course registration. The college will then mark you as 'reported' in the university portal. Until this is done, your seat remains at risk of cancellation.
- Travel to your allotted college before 4:00 PM on 21 September 2026
- Carry all original documents (NEET scorecard, certificates, caste/domicile certificates, medical fitness certificate)
- Complete document verification at the college
- Pay the admission fee as prescribed by the college
- Register for hostel (if applicable) and course
- Ensure the college marks you as 'reported' in the university system
What happens if you do not report by the deadline?
If you do not report to your allotted college by 4:00 PM on 21 September 2026, your seat will be automatically cancelled. The university will treat you as a 'non-reporting' candidate, and your seat will be forfeited. You will not be eligible for any further rounds of counselling or allotment under CQ Phase-II.
Once your seat is cancelled, you cannot appeal or request a second chance. The only way to secure an MBBS seat after this would be through subsequent phases of counselling (if any are conducted) or through other quota categories, but there is no guarantee of allotment. Therefore, it is critical that you report on time, even if you are still deciding whether to accept the seat — you can always withdraw later, but missing the deadline is irreversible.
Important: Comply with all admission requirements
The notice states that candidates must 'comply with all the admission requirements prescribed by the University and the concerned college within the extended time.' This means you must meet every condition set by KNRUHS and your assigned college, not just show up and pay the fee.
Common admission requirements include: producing a valid medical fitness certificate from an approved doctor, proof of domicile in Telangana (if required for your quota), caste certificate in the prescribed format (if claiming SC/ST/OBC), proof of NEET eligibility, and any other documents specified in the college's admission prospectus. If you fail to produce any required document, your admission may be rejected even after you report.
- Medical fitness certificate (from an approved medical practitioner)
- Proof of Telangana domicile (if applicable to your quota)
- Caste certificate in the prescribed format (if claiming SC/ST/OBC)
- NEET admit card and scorecard
- 10th and 12th mark sheets and certificates
- Any other documents listed in your college's admission prospectus
What is Competent Authority Quota (CQ)?
Competent Authority Quota (CQ) is a set of MBBS seats reserved for candidates who meet specific criteria set by the Telangana government. These seats are filled through a separate counselling process conducted by KNRUHS, independent of the national NEET counselling conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC). CQ seats are typically reserved for candidates with Telangana domicile or other state-specific eligibility criteria.
CQ counselling is conducted in phases — Phase-I, Phase-II, and sometimes Phase-III — to fill all available seats. Phase-II is the second round of allotments. If you received a CQ Phase-II allotment, it means you were not allotted in Phase-I but qualified for Phase-II based on your NEET rank and the availability of seats.
Timeline of key dates
Here is a summary of the important dates mentioned in this notice:
| Event | Date | Time |
|---|---|---|
| CQ Phase-II allotments issued | 15 September 2026 | — |

Common mistakes that lead to seat cancellation
Many candidates lose their seats due to preventable mistakes. Here are the most common ones:
**Arriving after 4:00 PM:** The deadline is strict. If you arrive at 4:01 PM, you will not be allowed to report. Plan your travel so you reach the college well before 4:00 PM, accounting for traffic and delays.
**Missing required documents:** If you arrive without a medical fitness certificate, caste certificate (if applicable), or domicile proof, the college may refuse to admit you. Verify the complete list of required documents from your college's admission prospectus before you travel.
**Assuming online reporting is acceptable:** Some candidates think they can report via email or phone. This is not acceptable. You must be physically present at the college.
**Not checking your allotment letter carefully:** Your allotment letter will specify which college you have been allotted to and the exact documents you need to bring. Read it thoroughly before you travel.
What to do if you cannot report by 21 September 2026
If you have a genuine emergency (serious illness, accident, family crisis) that prevents you from reporting by 21 September 2026, contact your allotted college's admission office immediately — do not wait until after the deadline. Explain your situation and ask if they can grant a brief extension or allow you to report late. However, the notice does not mention any provision for extensions beyond 21 September 2026, so there is no guarantee that the college will accommodate you.
If the college refuses to grant an extension and you miss the deadline, your seat will be cancelled. You will then need to wait for any subsequent phases of counselling (if announced) or explore other options such as private medical colleges or counselling in other states. It is therefore crucial to plan your travel well in advance and avoid any last-minute delays.
