If you're a NEET UG 2026 qualified candidate hoping for a private MBBS or BDS seat in Telangana, a new registration window has opened that you cannot afford to miss. The Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS), which conducts counselling for private colleges in the state, has started Round 1 registration for management quota (Category B) and NRI (Category C) seats. This registration is separate from the regular state counselling for government and convener-quota seats, and it has its own tight deadline. Missing it pushes a candidate to a much thinner Round 2 pool, where far fewer seats remain.
NEET UG 2026 qualifiers eligible for Telangana's private MBBS/BDS management or NRI quota seats must register at tspvtmedadm.tsche.in between 6 AM on August 13 and 6 PM on August 20, 2026, or risk being left with very limited options in a later round.
What This Counselling Round Covers
This is not the main state counselling that allots government medical college seats or convener-quota seats in private colleges. It is specifically for Category B (management quota) and Category C (NRI quota) seats in Telangana's private unaided medical and dental colleges. These seats are filled directly by KNRUHS through a separate registration and fee structure, and they typically carry higher tuition than convener-quota seats.
Any NEET UG 2026 qualified candidate who meets the required percentile cut-off can register, regardless of whether they have applied for the regular state counselling. Families considering a private management quota seat should treat this as a distinct process with its own paperwork, fees and timeline.
Key Dates to Track
The registration notification was issued on August 12, 2026, and the window is short — just seven days. Candidates should not wait until the last day given possible portal load or document issues.

Who Can Apply: Percentile Cut-offs
Eligibility is based on the NEET UG 2026 qualifying percentile applicable to each category, following the national norm for the 2026-27 admission session. Candidates must also have completed Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry and Biology, and meet domicile and other conditions listed in the official prospectus before registering.
- General / EWS category: 50th percentile in NEET UG 2026
- SC, ST and OBC category: 40th percentile in NEET UG 2026
- Persons with Disabilities (General): 45th percentile in NEET UG 2026
- PwD under reserved category: 40th percentile in NEET UG 2026
Fees: What Families Should Budget For
Tuition fees for management and NRI quota seats are fixed by Telangana's state fee regulatory committee and vary by college, so the numbers below are indicative only. Every candidate should verify the exact fee for a specific college from the official prospectus before finalising any choice — fee structures can differ significantly even within the same category.
- Category B (management) MBBS: roughly Rs 11.55 lakh to Rs 14 lakh per year, varying by college
- Category C (NRI) MBBS: reported to be close to double the Category B fee
- BDS fees under both categories: set college-wise as per the notified fee structure
- These are annual tuition figures only — hostel, exam and other charges are typically separate
Registration Process and Documents to Keep Ready
The entire process is online through the KNRUHS admissions portal. Candidates should gather all documents in scanned form before starting, since incomplete uploads are a common reason for delayed or rejected applications.
A non-refundable processing fee must be paid online as part of registration, so candidates should keep a payment method ready and save the receipt after submission.
- Visit tspvtmedadm.tsche.in and select the Round 1 MBBS/BDS management quota registration link
- Enter personal, academic and NEET UG 2026 score details accurately
- Upload scanned copies of NEET scorecard, Class 10 and 12 marksheets, transfer certificate, and domicile proof
- Upload category and PwD certificates where applicable
- Pay the processing fee online and download the confirmation for your records
Why the Deadline Matters More Than It Seems
Category B and C seats are the primary way a candidate outside the state convener quota can secure a private medical or dental seat in Telangana. Once Round 1 registration closes on August 20, any candidate who missed it must wait for a Round 2 opportunity — and by that stage, the best seats across most colleges are usually already taken, leaving a much smaller and less predictable set of options.
For families weighing whether a management quota seat is worth the higher fee, this registration step comes before any seat is confirmed — it only opens the door to the option-entry and allotment stage that follows. Decisions on college choice and affordability can still be made carefully once the seat matrix is published.

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
Is this the same as Telangana's regular NEET counselling for government colleges?
No. This is a separate registration conducted by KNRUHS specifically for Category B (management quota) and Category C (NRI quota) seats in private unaided medical and dental colleges, not for government or convener-quota seats.
What is the last date to register for Round 1?
Registration closes at 6 PM on August 20, 2026, on tspvtmedadm.tsche.in. The window opened at 6 AM on August 13, 2026.
What NEET percentile do I need to be eligible?
General/EWS candidates need the 50th percentile, SC/ST/OBC candidates need the 40th percentile, general PwD candidates need the 45th percentile, and reserved-category PwD candidates need the 40th percentile in NEET UG 2026.
How much does a management quota MBBS seat cost in Telangana?
Indicative annual tuition for Category B MBBS seats ranges from about Rs 11.55 lakh to Rs 14 lakh depending on the college, while Category C (NRI) fees are close to double that. BDS fees are set college-wise. Candidates should confirm exact figures in the official prospectus.
What happens if I miss the August 20 deadline?
You would have to wait for a possible Round 2 registration, by which point far fewer seats are typically available across colleges, reducing your choices significantly.
What documents do I need to register?
Keep scanned copies of your NEET UG 2026 scorecard, Class 10 and 12 marksheets, transfer certificate, domicile proof, and any applicable category or PwD certificates ready before starting the online form.
Does registering guarantee a seat?
No. Registration only makes you eligible to participate in the option-entry and seat allotment stages that follow. Actual seat allotment depends on your NEET rank, category, and the choices you fill during option entry.
Candidates aiming for a private MBBS or BDS seat in Telangana through the management or NRI quota should register well before the August 20 deadline and keep all documents scanned and ready. Watch the KNRUHS portal closely in the days after registration closes for the seat matrix, option-entry window, and provisional allotment list.
