The Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS) in Warangal has reopened the registration window for Management Quota seats in MBBS and BDS programmes across private unaided medical and dental colleges in Telangana for the 2026–27 academic year. This second registration window is open to candidates who missed the earlier August deadline and wish to apply for Category B (Management) and Category C (NRI) seats. If you qualified NEET UG 2026 and did not register during the first round, this is your opportunity to enter the counselling process for private medical colleges in the state.

NEET UG 2026 qualifiers in Telangana have until 2 PM on September 4, 2026, to register for Management Quota seats in private MBBS and BDS colleges by paying a non-refundable Rs 12,000 fee on the official portal.

When and Where to Register for Telangana Management Quota

The reopened registration window runs from 6 AM on September 2, 2026, to 2 PM on September 4, 2026. All applications must be submitted through the official portal at tspvtmedadm.tsche.in. This is a short window—only 2.5 days—so candidates should not delay their application.

The reopening was announced to give a second chance to aspirants who could not apply during the initial August registration period. Even if you were unaware of the first deadline or faced technical issues, you can now register during this window. However, once the 2 PM deadline on September 4 passes, no further applications will be accepted for this round.

Who Can Apply: NEET UG 2026 Cutoff Requirements by Category

To be eligible for Management Quota registration, you must have qualified NEET UG 2026 and achieved the minimum percentile score for your category. Additionally, you must have passed Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology as core subjects. The percentile thresholds vary based on your category and whether you have a disability.

General and Economically Weaker Section (EWS) candidates need to score at or above the 50th percentile. Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), and Other Backward Class (OBC) candidates require the 40th percentile. For candidates with disabilities (PwD), the requirement is 45th percentile if you fall under the General category and 40th percentile if you are in a reserved category. Ensure you have your NEET UG 2026 scorecard and rank letter ready before applying.

  • General and EWS: 50th percentile
  • SC, ST, OBC: 40th percentile
  • PwD (General): 45th percentile
  • PwD (Reserved): 40th percentile

Understanding Category B and Category C Seats in Telangana

Category B seats are reserved for Management Quota admissions in private unaided medical and dental colleges. Of these seats, 85 percent are reserved exclusively for candidates who are domiciled in Telangana (local candidates). The remaining 15 percent are open to candidates from any state in India, provided they meet the NEET UG 2026 cutoff.

Category C seats are designated for Non-Resident Indian (NRI) candidates. These seats follow a separate merit and eligibility process. If you are an NRI or have NRI status, you may be eligible for Category C seats. Both Category B and Category C seats are offered in private unaided institutions only; government medical colleges do not have Management Quota seats.

Registration Fee and Payment Details

The registration and processing fee for Management Quota Round 1 is Rs 12,000. This fee is non-refundable, meaning once you pay it, you cannot claim a refund even if you withdraw your application or do not secure a seat. In addition to the Rs 12,000 fee, you may incur bank charges depending on your payment method, which are your responsibility.

Payment must be made online through the modes available on the official portal. Common payment methods typically include debit card, credit card, and net banking. Ensure you have sufficient funds and a valid payment method before you begin the registration process. Keep a record of your payment confirmation for future reference.

Step-by-Step Guide to Register for Management Quota

Begin by visiting the official portal at tspvtmedadm.tsche.in. On the homepage, look for the Management Quota Round 1 registration link. Complete the initial mobile and email registration to receive your login credentials. You will receive a username and password via email and SMS.

Log in using your credentials and fill out the candidate registration form. This form will ask for your personal details (name, date of birth, contact information), academic information (Class 10 and 12 marks), and NEET UG 2026 details (roll number, score, rank). Ensure all information is accurate and matches your official documents.

Upload scanned copies of all required documents in the specified format (usually PDF or JPG). These include your NEET UG 2026 scorecard, Class 10 and 12 mark sheets, transfer certificate, and category or PwD certificate if applicable. After uploading, review your application for any errors or missing information.

Proceed to the payment section and pay the Rs 12,000 fee through your chosen online method. Once payment is confirmed, your application will be submitted. Download and save the confirmation page with your application number and receipt. This confirmation is essential for tracking your application status and for future counselling rounds.

Documents You Must Have Ready Before Applying

Gather all required documents in scanned format before you begin the registration process. Having these ready will speed up your application and reduce the risk of missing the deadline. Ensure scans are clear, legible, and in the correct file format as specified by the portal.

You will need your NEET UG 2026 scorecard and rank letter, which are issued by the National Testing Agency (NTA). You also need your Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets from your school. If you have changed schools, obtain a transfer certificate from your last institution. If you are a Telangana local candidate, prepare your domicile or local status proof (such as a residence certificate or Aadhaar with Telangana address). If you belong to a reserved category (SC, ST, OBC), have your category certificate ready. If you have a disability, prepare your PwD certificate issued by a competent authority.

  • NEET UG 2026 scorecard and rank letter
  • Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets
  • Transfer certificate from your last school
  • Telangana domicile or local status proof
  • Category certificate (if SC, ST, or OBC)
  • PwD certificate (if applicable)

Why Separate Registration for Management Quota Matters

An important point for aspirants: if you applied for Competent Authority Quota (CAQ) seats in an earlier round, you must still register separately for Management Quota seats. These are two distinct counselling processes with different seat pools and merit lists. Registration in one does not automatically enroll you in the other.

Many candidates mistakenly assume that applying once covers all quota categories. This is not the case in Telangana's NEET UG counselling system. If you wish to be considered for Management Quota seats in private colleges, you must complete this separate registration. Failing to do so will exclude you from the Management Quota merit list and seat allotment process.

What Happens After Registration: Next Steps in the Counselling Process

After the registration window closes on September 4, 2026, KNRUHS will prepare a merit list based on NEET UG 2026 scores and the eligibility criteria. This merit list will be published on the official portal. You should regularly check the portal for updates on the merit list release date.

Following the merit list, KNRUHS will release the seat matrix, which shows the number of MBBS and BDS seats available in each private college, broken down by category (Category B and Category C). This information is crucial for understanding which colleges and programmes have seats available. After the seat matrix is released, the web-option (choice-filling) schedule will be announced. During this phase, you will rank your preferred colleges and programmes in order of preference. Based on your merit rank and choices, seats will be allotted in subsequent rounds.

Key Reminders and Action Checklist for Aspirants

Do not wait until the last moment to register. The deadline is 2 PM on September 4, 2026, and the portal may experience high traffic as the deadline approaches. Aim to submit your application at least a few hours before the cutoff to avoid technical delays or server issues.

Verify that you meet the NEET UG 2026 percentile cutoff for your category before investing time and money in registration. If you do not meet the minimum percentile, your application will be rejected during verification, and your fee will not be refunded. Double-check your NEET UG score and rank against the eligibility criteria for your category.

  • Visit tspvtmedadm.tsche.in before September 4, 2026, at 2 PM
  • Confirm you meet the NEET UG 2026 percentile cutoff for your category
  • Prepare and scan all required documents in advance
  • Arrange Rs 12,000 plus applicable bank charges for payment
  • Submit your application well before the 2 PM deadline
  • Download and save your filled application and confirmation page
  • Monitor the KNRUHS portal for merit list, seat matrix, and choice-filling schedule announcements
