Telangana NEET UG 2026 Counselling: Registration Window, Fees and Cutoffs Explained

If you took NEET-UG 2026 and want an MBBS or BDS seat in Telangana through the state quota, a short but important window has just opened. Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS) is accepting online registrations for its 2026-27 counselling from August 5 to August 12, and this is the entry point for government, private and minority medical and dental colleges across the state. Missing this registration means missing the state quota round entirely this year, since no re-opening has been announced. Here's what the dates, fees and eligibility marks mean for you and how to get the paperwork right the first time.

What's open and where

KNRUHS is the university that administers Telangana's Competent Authority Quota counselling — the state-level process (as distinct from the All India Quota run by the Medical Counselling Committee) that fills seats in government medical and dental colleges, plus un-aided private colleges including minority institutions. Registration is happening entirely online at tsmedadm.tsche.in.

The process has two linked stages on the portal: first, registering with your NEET-UG 2026 roll number and personal details, and second, uploading scanned certificates. Candidates need to finish mobile and email verification before the rest of the form unlocks.

• Registration opened: August 5, 2026, 6 AM
• Registration closes: August 12, 2026, 6 PM
• Portal: tsmedadm.tsche.in (schedule and merit list on knruhs.telangana.gov.in)

Minimum NEET-UG 2026 marks to register

Not every NEET qualifier can register for this round — KNRUHS has set category-wise minimum marks, expressed as a percentile, below which you cannot apply for the Telangana state quota. These match the general NEET qualifying-percentile logic but are stated here as fixed marks for 2026.

Registration fee by category

The fee is a one-time, non-refundable processing charge and can be paid through net banking, debit or credit card, or UPI. Pay only through the official portal — there is no separate offline mode.

Documents you need before you start

Since the whole process is online, scanned copies need to be clear and correctly formatted — KNRUHS has flagged that unclear or missing uploads can lead to rejection. It is worth scanning everything a day in advance rather than rushing on the last day of the window.

• NEET-UG 2026 scorecard
• SSC (Class 10) marks memo
• Intermediate (Class 12) marks memo
• Study certificates covering Class 4 through Intermediate
• Transfer certificate from your last institution
• Aadhaar card
• Recent passport-size photograph and signature

Which colleges this counselling covers

This round covers government medical and dental colleges in Telangana, along with un-aided private colleges — both non-minority and minority institutions. The Army College of Dental Sciences in Secunderabad is also part of this counselling. Seat-wise availability and the exact number of MBBS/BDS seats on offer will only be clear once KNRUHS publishes its seat matrix, which typically follows registration.

What comes after registration

Registering is only the first step. After the window closes on August 12, candidates should watch tsmedadm.tsche.in for the provisional state merit list, which ranks registered candidates for the purpose of choice filling. The seat matrix and choice-filling schedule will be published subsequently on knruhs.telangana.gov.in. Keep a printout of your submitted application safe — you'll likely need to refer to it, and possibly present it, at later stages such as document verification or reporting.

Frequently asked questions

If you're eligible and haven't registered yet, don't wait till the last day — get your scanned documents ready now and complete both stages on tsmedadm.tsche.in well before 6 PM on August 12. Once registration closes, watch the KNRUHS site for the merit list and seat matrix, since those will decide your next move in choice filling.
