Telangana NEET UG 2026 Counselling: Registration Opens August 5 — Fees, Documents and Key Dates

If you're a NEET UG 2026 candidate hoping to study MBBS or BDS in Telangana, the state counselling clock has started ticking. Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS) has released the schedule for Telangana's state-level NEET UG counselling, with online registration opening on August 5, 2026 at 6 am on tsmedadm.tsche.in. This is the gateway to government and private medical and dental seats in the state, and it runs on a strict one-time window, so late or incomplete applications risk losing a seat opportunity entirely. Here's a plain breakdown of the dates, fees, paperwork and what happens after you register.

What KNRUHS has announced

KNRUHS, the university that conducts medical and dental admissions in Telangana, has published the counselling schedule for NEET UG 2026 candidates seeking seats in the state's government and private medical and dental colleges.

Registration opens on August 5, 2026 at 6 am and closes on August 12, 2026 at 6 pm, giving candidates about a week to complete the process on the official portal, tsmedadm.tsche.in.

This is described as a one-time registration opportunity — candidates who miss the window or fail to upload the required documents within this period will not get another chance to register for this round.

How the process works after registration

Once you register and submit your documents, KNRUHS will carry out document verification. Based on this verification, along with your NEET UG 2026 rank and the eligibility criteria applicable to your category, the university will publish a provisional merit list.

This provisional list is the basis on which further counselling steps — such as choice filling and seat allotment — are expected to proceed, so accuracy in your registration details matters directly to your rank position in the list.

Registration fees by category

The registration fee differs by reservation category. Make sure you pay the correct amount for your category to avoid delays in processing.

Documents you must have ready before you start

Because the registration window is short and non-repeatable, prepare scanned copies of all documents in advance rather than scrambling on the portal. The mandatory set includes your academic records, identity proof and NEET score card; category or special-status certificates apply only if relevant to you.

• NEET UG 2026 score card (mandatory)
• Birth certificate or Class 10 (SSC) marks memo (mandatory)
• Class 12 (Intermediate) marks memo or qualifying exam certificate — grade certificates are not accepted (mandatory)
• Study certificates for Classes 9 and 10, and for Intermediate/Class 11–12 (mandatory)
• Transfer Certificate (TC) from Class 12/Intermediate (mandatory)
• Aadhaar card, recent passport-size photograph and specimen signature
• Community (caste) certificate, EWS certificate, minority certificate, income certificate, NCC/CAP/PMC/Anglo-Indian certificates, SCCL certificate or residence certificate — only if applicable to your case

Step-by-step: how to register

The registration process itself is straightforward once your documents are ready.

• Visit tsmedadm.tsche.in
• Click on the NEET UG 2026 counselling registration link on the homepage
• Enter your NEET roll number, application number and date of birth
• Upload the required documents in the specified format
• Confirm submission to complete registration

What this means for your admission planning

This is a state counselling round, separate from the all-India process run by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC). If you are eligible for both All India Quota and Telangana state quota seats, you may need to track two separate schedules and portals, so keep a calendar of both timelines.

Because verification happens against the documents you upload, any mismatch — for instance, a name spelling difference between your Aadhaar and Class 12 marksheet — can delay your provisional merit list entry. Cross-check every document against your NEET admit card and score card before uploading.

Aspirants from reserved categories should also confirm the validity dates on certificates like EWS or income certificates, since expired documents are a common reason for rejection at this stage.

Frequently asked questions

If you're aiming for an MBBS or BDS seat in Telangana, mark August 5 and August 12, 2026 on your calendar and get every document scanned and verified well before the portal opens. Keep checking tsmedadm.tsche.in for the provisional merit list and next counselling steps, and track your All India Quota status separately if you're eligible for both.
