Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS), Telangana has issued a revised seat matrix for MBBS admissions under Management Quota at TRR Institute of Medical Sciences for the 2026-27 academic year. The revision was made following a notice from the National Medical Commission dated 10 September 2026. This updated seat breakdown applies to the first phase of counselling and affects how many seats are available in each category — Local, Unreserved (UR), and Non-Resident Indian (NRI) — at this college. If you have applied for Management Quota MBBS seats in Telangana or are planning to, you need to know the exact number of seats now available in your category.
TRR Institute of Medical Sciences now has 44 Local CAT-B seats, 8 UR CAT-B seats, and 23 NRI CAT-C seats available under Management Quota for MBBS 2026-27 first phase counselling.
What is this notice about?
This is an official announcement from KNRUHS, the state counselling authority for NEET-UG MBBS and BDS admissions in Telangana. It publishes a revised (updated) seat matrix — the exact number of MBBS seats available at TRR Institute of Medical Sciences under Management Quota for the 2026-27 academic year.
A seat matrix is a table that tells you how many seats exist at each college, broken down by category (who can apply for them) and quota type (Management, Government, etc.). When a seat matrix is 'revised', it means the numbers have changed from what was announced earlier. This revision happened because the National Medical Commission issued a notice on 10 September 2026 that required the seat numbers to be adjusted.
Management Quota seats are seats that private medical colleges can fill through their own selection process, outside the main state counselling. These seats are typically more expensive than government seats, but they allow colleges to admit students who may not have scored high enough for government counselling.
Which college and how many seats?
The revised seat matrix applies only to TRR Institute of Medical Sciences, a private medical college in Telangana. This college is offering MBBS seats under Management Quota for the 2026-27 batch.
The total number of MBBS Management Quota seats at TRR Institute is now 75 seats, divided into two categories: CAT-B (Category B) and CAT-C/NRI (Category C / Non-Resident Indian).
| College Name | CAT-B Local | CAT-B UR | CAT-C/NRI | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TRR Institute of Medical Sciences | 44 | 8 | 23 | 75 |
Understanding the seat categories: CAT-B and CAT-C/NRI
CAT-B (Category B) seats are reserved for candidates from Telangana state. Within CAT-B, there are two sub-divisions: Local (44 seats) and UR — Unreserved (8 seats). Local seats are for Telangana residents; UR seats are for unreserved candidates (those not belonging to SC, ST, or OBC categories) from Telangana. If you are a Telangana resident and have qualified NEET UG 2026, you are eligible to apply for CAT-B seats.
CAT-C/NRI (Category C / Non-Resident Indian) seats are for candidates who are Indian citizens but do not have Telangana domicile, or for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs). There are 23 such seats available at TRR Institute. These seats typically have different eligibility rules and may have higher fees. If you are an NRI or a non-Telangana resident, you would apply for CAT-C/NRI seats.
The distinction matters because it determines which seats you are eligible for and which counselling process you will go through. Make sure you understand your own category before applying.
Why was the seat matrix revised?
The notice states that the seat matrix for TRR Institute of Medical Sciences has been modified 'in accordance with the notice issued by National Medical Commission on 10.09.2026'. The National Medical Commission (NMC) is the apex regulatory body for medical education in India. When the NMC issues a notice, state counselling authorities must comply with it.
The exact reason for the revision is not detailed in this notice — it could be due to infrastructure changes, faculty updates, compliance with new NMC guidelines, or other regulatory requirements. What matters to you is that these are now the official, final seat numbers for TRR Institute under Management Quota for 2026-27 first phase counselling.
What is 'first phase of counselling'?
Telangana NEET-UG counselling typically happens in multiple phases. The first phase is the initial round of seat allocation. After first phase counselling is complete, there may be a second phase, third phase, or spot round, depending on how many seats remain vacant.
This revised seat matrix applies specifically to the first phase. If you are eligible and participate in first phase counselling, these are the seats you will be competing for at TRR Institute. Seat numbers may change in later phases if seats remain unfilled.
Who is eligible to apply for these Management Quota seats?
To be eligible for MBBS Management Quota seats at TRR Institute under this revised matrix, you must: (1) have qualified NEET UG 2026 with a valid score, (2) meet the age and educational eligibility criteria set by the National Medical Commission, and (3) fall into one of the eligible categories — either CAT-B (Telangana resident) or CAT-C/NRI (non-Telangana resident or NRI).
Unlike government MBBS seats, Management Quota seats do not have a strict merit cutoff. However, the college may have its own selection criteria. You will need to register with KNRUHS counselling portal and indicate your preference for TRR Institute Management Quota seats during the counselling process.
This notice does not specify fees, merit cutoffs, or the college's own selection process — those details will be available on the KNRUHS counselling portal or the college's website. Check those sources for complete eligibility and application details.
How does this affect your counselling application?
If you have already registered for NEET-UG 2026 counselling in Telangana and indicated interest in Management Quota seats, this revised matrix tells you exactly how many seats are available at TRR Institute in your category. Use this information to set realistic expectations about your chances.
When you fill your choice form during counselling, you will list colleges and seats in order of preference. Knowing the exact seat count helps you decide whether to include TRR Institute and in which position. For example, if you are a Telangana resident (CAT-B), you know there are 44 Local seats and 8 UR seats available — a total of 52 CAT-B seats at this college.
If you have not yet registered for counselling, ensure you do so on the KNRUHS portal before the registration deadline. This revised seat matrix will be active when counselling begins.
Important dates and next steps
This notice was issued on 11 September 2026. The revised seat matrix is effective immediately for first phase counselling. However, the notice does not specify when first phase counselling will begin or when you must submit your choice form.
You must check the KNRUHS official website (knruhs.telangana.gov.in) or the Telangana NEET-UG counselling portal for the exact dates of first phase counselling, registration deadlines, and choice form submission windows. These dates are critical — missing a deadline can result in your application being rejected.
Keep this revised seat matrix saved for reference when you fill your choice form. Do not rely on old seat matrices or information from other sources — always use the latest official notice from KNRUHS.
Common mistakes to avoid
Do not assume the seat numbers are the same as they were before this revision. This is a revised matrix, meaning the numbers have changed. Using old seat information could lead to wrong decisions about which colleges to prefer.
Do not confuse Management Quota seats with government seats. Management Quota seats are private college seats with different fees and selection processes. The counselling process for Management Quota may be different from government seat counselling — check the KNRUHS portal for the exact procedure.
Do not forget to verify your category (CAT-B or CAT-C/NRI) before applying. Applying for the wrong category can result in rejection. If you are unsure, contact KNRUHS or check the counselling portal's category eligibility guidelines.
Do not miss the counselling registration or choice form submission deadlines. These are strict, and late submissions are not accepted. Mark the dates on your calendar and submit well before the deadline.
