Telangana's medical regulator, Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS), has opened the registration window for NEET PG 2026–27 counselling under the Competent Authority Quota. Doctors who qualified NEET PG 2026 and meet Telangana's state nativity rules can now register online to compete for MD, MS, and PG Diploma seats across government and eligible private medical colleges in the state. The registration portal closes on October 23, 2026, giving candidates just over a week to complete their applications. This is a critical step in the admission process—missing the deadline will exclude you from counselling entirely.
Register for Telangana NEET PG 2026 counselling by 4 PM on October 23, 2026, at tspgmed.tsche.in; incomplete applications or those submitted after the deadline will not be considered.

The online registration portal opened at 4 PM on October 15, 2026, and will remain active until 4 PM on October 23, 2026. Candidates must register during this window at tspgmed.tsche.in, the official Telangana PG medical admissions portal managed by KNRUHS in coordination with the Telangana State Council of Higher Education (TSCHE).
The registration process is entirely online. You will need a valid mobile number and email address to create your account and begin the application. All subsequent communications regarding merit lists, counselling schedules, and seat allotment will be sent to the email and phone number you register with, so ensure accuracy during sign-up.
Who Can Apply: Eligibility Criteria for NEET PG Doctors
Only candidates who have qualified the NEET PG 2026 examination are eligible to apply. Qualification alone is not sufficient—you must also satisfy Telangana's state nativity and local status requirements. These rules determine whether you are eligible for general seats, state-specific seats, or other categories within the counselling process.
The official KNRUHS prospectus contains the detailed eligibility matrix, including specific nativity rules, local status definitions, and category-wise seat reservations. It is strongly recommended that you review the prospectus before applying to confirm your eligibility and understand which seats you can compete for.
Essential Documents You Must Upload During Registration
The online application requires you to upload scanned copies of original certificates. Incomplete applications—those missing any mandatory document—will be rejected during the verification stage, and you will lose your chance in that counselling round. Prepare all documents in advance to avoid last-minute delays.

Once you pay the fee, it is non-refundable and cannot be adjusted against any future payment or counselling round. Ensure you have completed your application form correctly before proceeding to payment, as you cannot undo a payment or claim a refund if you make an error.

What Happens After Registration Closes: Merit List and Counselling Phases
Once the registration window closes on October 23, KNRUHS will compile and release the state merit position list based on NEET PG scores and ranks. This merit list determines the order in which candidates are called for counselling and seat allotment. The exact date of merit list release will be announced on the KNRUHS portal.
Every kind of PG seat, one rank
See the real seats your NEET-PG rank can reach.
After the merit list is published, web-based counselling will begin in phases. Each phase typically includes choice filling (where you rank your preferred colleges and specialties) followed by seat allotment based on merit and availability. You must actively monitor the KNRUHS portal for announcements about each round, as missing a choice-filling window or reporting deadline can result in forfeiture of your seat.
Understanding the Competent Authority Quota and Seat Types
The Competent Authority Quota covers seats in government medical colleges across Telangana as well as Category A seats in private non-minority and minority colleges. These seats are allotted strictly on the basis of NEET PG merit—no other criteria such as interview performance or institutional preference override merit ranking.
This means your position in the state merit list directly determines your chances of securing a seat in your preferred college and specialty. The higher your NEET PG rank, the earlier you will be called for counselling and the wider your choice of available seats.
Common Mistakes to Avoid During Registration
Many candidates lose their counselling opportunity due to preventable errors. Do not submit an incomplete application—verify that all mandatory documents are uploaded before clicking submit. Do not provide incorrect contact details; if KNRUHS cannot reach you, you may miss critical announcements about merit lists or counselling dates.
Do not assume you will remember your login credentials; save them securely. Do not delay payment until the last day; server congestion near the deadline can cause payment failures. Do not ignore the acknowledgement receipt; you will need it to track your application status and for future counselling rounds.
Next Steps: What to Do After Submitting Your Application
After you submit your application and receive the acknowledgement, your immediate task is to monitor the KNRUHS portal regularly for updates. Check the portal at least twice a week for announcements regarding the merit list release date, counselling schedule, and any clarifications or corrections to the eligibility criteria.
Prepare mentally and logistically for counselling. Familiarize yourself with the colleges and specialties available in Telangana, research their reputation and training quality, and decide your preference order in advance. This will help you make quick, informed choices during the choice-filling phase.
