If you or your child qualified NEET UG 2026 and are hoping for a management quota MBBS or BDS seat in a private college in Telangana, a short but important registration window has just opened. The Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS), Warangal, is running Round 1 registration for Category B (management) and Category C (NRI) seats from August 13 to August 20, 2026. This is a separate process from the regular state counselling for government and convener-quota seats, and it comes with its own eligibility rules, fee structure and deadlines. Missing this window usually means falling back on a much thinner Round 2, so timing matters here.

Telangana NEET UG 2026 candidates eligible for private college management/NRI quota seats must register at tspvtmedadm.tsche.in between 6 AM on August 13 and 6 PM on August 20, 2026, and should decide on fees and eligibility before that deadline.

What This Counselling Round Covers

This round is specifically for two categories of seats in Telangana's private unaided medical and dental colleges: Category B, which are management-quota seats sold by the colleges themselves under state fee regulation, and Category C, which are seats reserved for NRI (Non-Resident Indian) candidates or their sponsored wards.

These are not the same as convener-quota seats, which are allotted through the regular state counselling body. Management and NRI quota seats are a parallel, separate admission track — so a candidate may need to track two different portals and timelines depending on which category they're applying under.

Key Dates to Note

The registration notification was released on August 12, 2026, and the window itself is open for exactly one week.

  • Notification released: August 12, 2026
  • Registration opens: 6 AM, August 13, 2026
  • Registration closes: 6 PM, August 20, 2026
  • Portal: tspvtmedadm.tsche.in
  • Conducting authority: KNRUHS, Warangal

Who Can Apply — Eligibility Percentiles

Eligibility is based on the NEET UG 2026 percentile, following the national norms set for this admission cycle. Candidates must also have completed Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry and Biology, and must satisfy domicile and other conditions detailed in the official prospectus.

  • General or EWS category: 50th percentile in NEET UG 2026
  • SC, ST and OBC category: 40th percentile
  • Persons with Disabilities (General category): 45th percentile
  • PwD under a reserved category: 40th percentile

Fee Structure — What Families Should Budget For

Fees for management and NRI quota seats are fixed by the state's fee regulatory committee and vary from college to college, so families should always cross-check the exact figure in the official prospectus before finalising a choice rather than relying on averages.

As an indicative range, Category B (management quota) MBBS seats are pegged at roughly Rs 11.55 lakh to Rs 14 lakh in annual tuition, while Category C (NRI quota) MBBS fees run close to double the Category B rate. BDS fee structures are notified college-wise and should be checked individually.

  • Category B MBBS: approx. Rs 11.55 lakh–Rs 14 lakh per year
  • Category C (NRI) MBBS: nearly twice the Category B fee
  • Category B and C BDS: as per each college's notified fee
  • Always confirm the final figure from the official prospectus, not estimates

How to Register — Step by Step

The process is entirely online. Candidates should have their documents scanned and ready before starting, since the form does not allow partial submissions to be saved indefinitely.

  • Visit tspvtmedadm.tsche.in and find the Round 1 MBBS/BDS management quota registration link
  • Fill in personal, academic and NEET UG 2026 score details
  • Upload scanned copies of NEET scorecard, Class 10 and 12 marksheets, transfer certificate, domicile proof, and category/PwD certificates where applicable
  • Pay the non-refundable processing fee via the online payment gateway
  • Submit and download the confirmation receipt for your records

Why the Deadline Matters

Category B and C seats are the primary route to a private MBBS or BDS seat in Telangana outside the state's convener quota. Once Round 1 registration closes on August 20, remaining seats typically move into a Round 2 process with a much smaller pool of vacancies, since most seats tend to get filled or provisionally allotted in the first round.

For a candidate on the fence about affordability or college preference, it's worth registering within the window even while decisions are still being weighed — registration itself does not lock you into accepting a seat, but missing it removes the option altogether for this round.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the same as the regular Telangana NEET UG counselling?

No. This is a separate process for Category B (management quota) and Category C (NRI quota) seats in private unaided medical and dental colleges, run by KNRUHS. Convener-quota and government seats are handled through the main state counselling process.

What NEET UG 2026 percentile do I need to qualify?

General/EWS candidates need the 50th percentile, SC/ST/OBC candidates need the 40th percentile, PwD (General) candidates need the 45th percentile, and PwD under reserved categories need the 40th percentile.

What documents should I keep ready before registering?

Your NEET UG 2026 scorecard, Class 10 and 12 marksheets, transfer certificate, domicile proof, and any applicable category or PwD certificates — all as scanned copies of the originals.

How much will an MBBS seat under management quota cost per year?

Indicative Category B MBBS tuition ranges from about Rs 11.55 lakh to Rs 14 lakh per year, varying by college. NRI quota (Category C) fees are typically nearly double that. Always verify the exact amount in the college's official prospectus.

What happens if I miss the August 20 registration deadline?

You would have to wait for a possible Round 2, which typically has far fewer vacant seats since most colleges' management-quota seats tend to fill up in the first round.

Does registering mean I've accepted a seat?

No. Registration only makes you eligible to participate in the option entry and seat allotment stages that follow. You can still weigh college and fee options before confirming any seat.

Where do I check the seat allotment results after registering?

Keep checking the same portal, tspvtmedadm.tsche.in, for the option entry window, seat matrix and provisional allotment list, which is expected soon after the August 20 registration deadline closes.

If you're eligible for Telangana's management or NRI quota MBBS/BDS seats, don't wait till the last day — register at tspvtmedadm.tsche.in well before 6 PM on August 20, 2026, and keep the official prospectus handy to verify exact college-wise fees before making any commitment. Watch the same portal for the option entry and provisional allotment schedule that follows shortly after.
