The Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS) has released the first phase of seat allotments for MBBS admissions in Telangana under the Competent Authority Quota on September 4, 2026. If you have received an allotment, you now have a tight four-day window to complete critical steps: pay your university fee, download your joining letter, and report physically to your allotted college. Missing the September 8 deadline means losing your seat entirely, and you will have to wait for Phase 2 counselling with no guarantee of a better college. This is one of the most crucial moments in your admission journey—here's what you need to do immediately.
All Telangana NEET UG 2026 Phase 1 allotted candidates must report to their college by September 8, 2026, with fee payment and original documents, or their seat will be cancelled and reallocated.
What Phase 1 Allotment Covers in Telangana
Phase 1 is the largest round of Telangana MBBS counselling and fills the majority of available seats in one go. It includes all Competent Authority Quota (CQ) seats in government medical colleges across the state. Additionally, it covers 50 percent of Category-A CQ seats in private medical colleges, encompassing both minority and non-minority institutions.
This phase is significant because it determines admission to most of the premium government medical colleges in Telangana. If you secure a seat in Phase 1, you are likely to get a college of your preference. However, if you miss the reporting deadline, you will be pushed to Phase 2, where the remaining seats are typically in less preferred colleges or those with lower cutoffs.
How to Check Your Phase 1 Allotment Result
Your allotment result is available on the official KNRUHS portal. The process is straightforward and takes only a few minutes. You will need your NEET UG roll number and name to locate your allotment in the college-wise list.

The September 8 Reporting Deadline: What It Means
The reporting deadline of September 8, 2026, is absolute and non-negotiable. You must physically report to your allotted college on or before this date and complete all joining formalities. This is not an online process—you must be present in person with all original documents and proof of fee payment.
If you fail to report by this date, your seat will be automatically cancelled. The college will not hold your seat beyond September 8, and you will lose your place in Phase 1 entirely. Your seat will then be added to the Phase 2 counselling pool, and you will have to participate in the next round of counselling if you wish to secure admission. This often results in being offered a college lower on your preference list or in a less popular location.
Fee Payment and Joining Letter: Your First Steps
Before you can report at the college, you must pay the university fee through the KNRUHS portal. The exact fee amount and payment modes (online, bank transfer, etc.) are listed on the official website. Keep your payment receipt safe—you will need to show it during document verification at the college.
After successful fee payment, you will be able to download your joining letter from the portal. This letter is your proof of allotment and must be carried to the college during reporting. Do not delay fee payment; complete it within the first day or two of receiving your allotment to avoid last-minute technical issues or payment gateway problems.
Documents You Must Carry When Reporting
The college will verify your identity and academic credentials before confirming your admission. You must bring all original documents listed below. Missing even one document can delay your admission confirmation or, in some cases, lead to complications. Make a checklist and gather everything before you travel to the college.
- NEET UG 2026 admit card and scorecard
- Class 10 marksheet and pass certificate
- Class 12 marksheet and pass certificate
- Transfer certificate from your last school or college
- Study certificates from Class 9 to Class 12
- Local status or residence certificate (proof that you are a Telangana resident, if applicable)
- Income certificate (if you are applying for fee reimbursement or scholarship)
- Caste certificate (if you belong to a reserved category)
- Aadhaar card and PAN card (photocopies)
- Six recent passport-size photographs
- KNRUHS registration receipt and printed allotment order
- Fee payment receipt from the KNRUHS portal
What Happens During College Reporting
When you arrive at the college on or before September 8, the admission office will verify all your documents against the information in the KNRUHS system. They will cross-check your NEET scorecard, academic certificates, and identity proof. Once verification is complete and all documents are found to be in order, you will receive an admission confirmation slip.
This confirmation slip is your proof of successful admission to the college. Keep it safe, as you will need it for hostel allotment, fee payment at the college level, and other administrative processes. The college will also provide you with information about the orientation programme, hostel facilities, and the date when classes begin.
What Happens If You Miss the September 8 Deadline
If you do not report by September 8, your seat will be forfeited automatically. The college will not grant any extension, and KNRUHS will not hold your allotment. Your seat will be added to the Phase 2 counselling pool and offered to candidates on the waiting list or those participating in the next round.
You will still be eligible to participate in Phase 2 counselling if you wish to continue your admission process. However, you will have to re-enter your web options (college and course preferences) for Phase 2. In Phase 2, the available seats are typically fewer and in colleges that were not filled in Phase 1, which often means colleges with lower cutoffs or less popular locations. Missing Phase 1 can significantly impact your final college allotment.
Timeline and Key Dates to Remember
Understanding the timeline is crucial for staying on track. Web options entry closed on September 1, which means all preference submissions were final by that date. The allotment was released on September 4, giving you a four-day window to complete all steps.
- September 1, 2026: Web options entry closed
- September 4, 2026: Phase 1 seat allotment released
- September 8, 2026: Last date to report at your allotted college
- After September 8: Phase 2 counselling schedule will be announced
Preparing for Phase 2: What to Expect Next
After the Phase 1 reporting deadline closes on September 8, KNRUHS will announce the Phase 2 counselling schedule. The vacant seat matrix—showing which colleges and seats remain unfilled after Phase 1—will be released on the official portal. If you did not secure a seat in Phase 1 or chose not to report, you can participate in Phase 2.
Phase 2 typically has fewer seats and lower-ranked colleges compared to Phase 1. However, it is still an opportunity to secure admission. Keep monitoring the KNRUHS website for Phase 2 announcements, and be prepared to submit your preferences quickly when the portal opens. Do not assume you will get a better college in Phase 2; in most cases, Phase 2 offers fewer and less desirable options.
