Telangana NEET UG 2026 Management Quota: Not Eligible List & Grievance Process

Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS), Telangana has released a not-eligible list of 30 candidates who registered for MBBS and BDS admissions under the management quota for the 2026–27 academic year. These candidates have been marked as ineligible for the special stray vacancy phase of counselling because they failed to submit required documents during verification. If your name appears on this list, you have a narrow window to challenge the decision by submitting missing documents and filing a formal grievance. The deadline is 9:00 AM on 11 November 2026 — missing this means you will be permanently excluded from this counselling phase.

What is this list and why does it matter?

This is a not-eligible list released by KNRUHS for the special stray vacancy phase of management quota counselling for MBBS and BDS seats in Telangana for 2026–27. The 30 candidates on this list registered for counselling but failed to upload or submit all the documents required during the verification process.

Being on this list means you are currently barred from participating in the special stray vacancy phase of counselling. However, this is not final — you have one chance to correct the problem by submitting the missing documents and filing a grievance before the deadline. If you do not act, you will lose your seat opportunity in this phase.

Who is on the not-eligible list?

The list contains 30 candidates identified by their roll number, NEET rank, NEET score, name, gender, category (OC, OBC, SC), local/non-local status, minority status (if applicable), and ACDS (Armed Forces Candidate Dependent Status) status. Each entry includes a specific reason why the candidate was marked ineligible during document verification.

• Candidates are listed in order of their NEET rank (highest rank first).
• The highest-ranked candidate on the list is Tanvi Singh (rank 92,573, score 498).
• The lowest-ranked candidate is Parsuwale MD Rehan Sajid (rank 1,136,193, score 187).
• All candidates listed are from Telangana or have applied under Telangana's management quota.

Why were candidates marked not eligible? Common document failures

Each candidate on the list has been marked ineligible for a specific reason — almost always a missing or incomplete document. Understanding these reasons is critical because they show exactly what you must fix if your name appears. The most common failures are:

The most frequent issue is missing or incomplete SSC (10th standard) documentation. Many candidates either did not upload their SSC memo at all, uploaded an SSC memo without a date of birth, or failed to submit an SSC memo with date-of-birth proof. This is a critical document because it establishes your date of birth, which must match across all your certificates.

The second major category is missing intermediate (12th standard) or higher secondary certificates. Some candidates did not upload the original intermediate memo, uploaded a memo without proper marks, or failed to upload a memo from DigiLocker in the correct format.

A third group failed to submit equivalence certificates. If you studied outside India or in a non-standard curriculum, you must submit an equivalence certificate from the appropriate authority (such as AICTE or the state education board). Several candidates on this list did not do so.

NRI (Non-Resident Indian) candidates who marked themselves as NRI in their application but did not upload NRI-specific documents (such as bank statements, embassy letters, or proof of foreign residence) were also marked ineligible. The notification specifies that NRI documents must be uploaded according to the official notification requirements.

• All certificates not uploaded
• SSC memo with date of birth proof not submitted
• No date of birth in SSC
• SSC memo without date of birth
• Original intermediate memo not uploaded
• Proper intermediate DigiLocker memo not uploaded
• No proper intermediate marks memo
• Equivalence certificate not submitted
• NRI relevant documents not uploaded according to notification
• Date of birth proof not submitted

The critical deadline: 9 AM on 11 November 2026

If your name is on the not-eligible list, you have exactly one day to act. The deadline to submit documents in support of your grievance is 9:00 AM on 11 November 2026. This is a hard deadline — any grievance or documents received after 9 AM will not be considered, and you will be permanently excluded from the special stray vacancy phase.

The notice explicitly states: 'Any grievances received after 09.00 AM on 11.11.2026 shall not be considered.' This means you cannot submit documents on 11 November at 9:01 AM or later. Plan to submit well before this time to avoid any technical delays or email server issues.

• Deadline: 9:00 AM on 11 November 2026 (today is 10 November — you have less than 24 hours)
• Submission method: Email only
• Email address: knrugadmission@gmail.com
• No late submissions will be accepted under any circumstances

How to file a grievance and submit documents

If your name is on the not-eligible list, follow these exact steps to challenge the decision:

Step 1: Identify the reason you were marked ineligible. Read the 'Verification Remarks' column in the list against your name. This tells you exactly which document(s) are missing or incomplete.

Step 2: Gather the missing document(s). If the remark says 'SSC memo with date of birth proof not submitted,' you must obtain your SSC memo and a separate date-of-birth proof (such as a birth certificate, passport, or Aadhaar). If it says 'equivalence certificate not submitted,' obtain the equivalence certificate from the appropriate authority.

Step 3: Prepare a formal grievance letter. Write a brief letter explaining your situation, stating your roll number, name, NEET rank, and the specific reason you were marked ineligible. Attach all supporting documents as PDF files or scans.

Step 4: Email your grievance and documents to knrugadmission@gmail.com before 9:00 AM on 11 November 2026. Use a clear subject line such as 'Grievance Against Not Eligible List — [Your Roll Number] — [Your Name].' Keep a copy of the email and the timestamp for your records.

Step 5: Wait for KNRUHS to review your grievance. The notice states that a final merit list will be notified after addressing all grievances. You will be informed of the outcome separately.

• Email address: knrugadmission@gmail.com
• Deadline: 9:00 AM on 11 November 2026
• Include your roll number, name, and NEET rank in the email
• Attach all missing documents as PDFs or clear scans
• Write a brief explanation of why you believe you should be eligible
• Keep proof of submission (screenshot of email with timestamp)

What documents are typically required? A checklist

To avoid being marked ineligible, candidates must upload specific documents during registration and verification. If you are on the not-eligible list, use this checklist to identify what you are missing and gather it before the deadline.

For all candidates: SSC (10th standard) memo with date of birth clearly stated, intermediate (12th standard) or higher secondary certificate with marks, and NEET admit card and score card. Your date of birth must be consistent across all documents.

For candidates who studied outside India or in non-standard curricula: An equivalence certificate from AICTE, the state education board, or the appropriate authority confirming that your qualification is equivalent to the Indian SSC/intermediate standard.

For NRI candidates: Proof of NRI status (such as a passport showing foreign residence, an NRI bank statement, or an embassy letter), along with all other standard documents. The notification specifies the exact format and type of NRI documents required — check the official notification if you are unsure.

For candidates with ACDS (Armed Forces Candidate Dependent) status: Relevant ACDS documentation as per the official notification.

For candidates from minority communities: Relevant minority status certificates if applicable.

• SSC memo with date of birth
• Intermediate/higher secondary certificate with marks
• NEET admit card and score card
• Equivalence certificate (if applicable)
• NRI documents (if applicable)
• ACDS documentation (if applicable)
• Minority status certificate (if applicable)
• Date of birth proof (birth certificate, passport, or Aadhaar)

Common traps: Why candidates were rejected and how to avoid them

Several patterns emerge from the not-eligible list that reveal common mistakes. Understanding these traps can help you avoid them or correct them before the deadline.

Trap 1: SSC memo without date of birth. Many candidates uploaded their SSC memo but it did not clearly show their date of birth, or they uploaded only the marks sheet without the memo. KNRUHS requires the full SSC memo with the date of birth printed on it. A marks sheet alone is not sufficient. If your remark says 'SSC memo without DOB' or 'SSC memo with date of birth not uploaded,' you must obtain the full SSC memo from your school that clearly shows your date of birth.

Trap 2: Uploading only a marks sheet instead of the full memo. Some candidates uploaded only the marks sheet or a partial document. KNRUHS requires the complete memo (the official document issued by the board) that includes all details, including date of birth. If your remark mentions 'memo,' you need the full memo, not just marks.

Trap 3: DigiLocker documents in the wrong format. If you uploaded an intermediate certificate from DigiLocker, it must be in the correct format and must include all required information. Several candidates on the list uploaded DigiLocker documents that were incomplete or improperly formatted. If your remark says 'proper inter digi locker memo not uploaded,' download the document again from DigiLocker and ensure it is complete and legible before resubmitting.

Trap 4: Missing equivalence certificates for non-standard qualifications. If you studied outside India or in a non-standard curriculum (such as IGCSE, IB, or a foreign board), you must submit an equivalence certificate. Simply uploading your foreign certificate is not enough. You must obtain an equivalence certificate from AICTE or the state education board confirming that your qualification is equivalent to the Indian SSC/intermediate standard.

Trap 5: NRI candidates not uploading NRI-specific documents. If you marked yourself as NRI in your application, you must upload NRI-specific documents (such as a bank statement, passport, or embassy letter) in addition to your standard certificates. The notification specifies the exact documents required. If your remark mentions 'NRI documents not uploaded according to notification,' review the official notification and upload the exact documents specified.

Trap 6: Date of birth mismatch across documents. Your date of birth must be identical on your SSC memo, intermediate certificate, NEET admit card, and any other document. If there is even a one-day difference, it can cause rejection. If your remark mentions date of birth issues, check all your documents and ensure the date of birth is consistent.

• Upload the full SSC memo, not just the marks sheet — it must show date of birth
• Ensure date of birth is consistent across all documents (SSC, intermediate, NEET admit card)
• If you studied outside India, obtain an equivalence certificate from AICTE or the state board
• If you are NRI, upload NRI documents as specified in the official notification
• Upload intermediate documents in the correct format (DigiLocker memos must be complete and legible)
• Do not upload partial or incomplete documents
• Verify all document details before uploading — typos or missing information will cause rejection

What happens after you submit your grievance?

Once you submit your grievance and supporting documents by the deadline, KNRUHS will review your case. The notice states: 'Final merit list shall be notified after addressing all the grievances.' This means KNRUHS will examine all grievances received by 9 AM on 11 November 2026 and decide whether to remove each candidate from the not-eligible list.

If KNRUHS accepts your grievance and finds that you have submitted the required documents, you will be removed from the not-eligible list and included in the final merit list for the special stray vacancy phase. You will then be eligible to participate in counselling.

If KNRUHS rejects your grievance (for example, if the documents you submitted are still incomplete or do not meet the requirements), you will remain on the not-eligible list and will not be able to participate in the special stray vacancy phase. However, you may still be eligible for other counselling phases or rounds if they are conducted later.

The timeline for KNRUHS to review grievances and release the final merit list is not specified in this notice. Check the KNRUHS website regularly for updates.

• KNRUHS will review all grievances submitted by 9 AM on 11.11.2026
• A final merit list will be released after all grievances are addressed
• If your grievance is accepted, you will be included in the final merit list
• If your grievance is rejected, you will remain ineligible for this phase
• Check the KNRUHS website for updates on the final merit list
