Andhra Pradesh NEET PG state counselling
Dr. NTR UHS fills convener seats on NEET PG rank, split by local area (AU / SVU) plus a 15% unreserved pool, with separate management rounds. Candidates often misjudge local status, which depends on pre-MBBS schooling.
- ~937 government state-quota seats
- 15 government colleges
- Official documents, cited
Where 2026 counselling stands
No 2026-27 PG (Medical) notification published as of 1 October 2026. A 26-09-2026 notice bars 172 candidates (21 stray-round no-shows, 151 who discontinued) from AP NEET PG 2026 counselling.
How many government seats the state fills
No state publishes this number, so here is how it is built. NMC’s register records the sanctioned PG intake of each government college; MCC’s results record how many of those seats went through the All India Quota. What is left is the state quota — what Dr. NTR UHS itself allots.
- 15
- government colleges matched
- 1,842
- sanctioned PG intake
- 917
- All India Quota, 2025
- 937
- left as state quota
Who can apply
- Convener quota: 85% of seats in each course go to local candidates of that area (AU or SVU); 15% are AP-unreserved (APUR).
- Since a 20-07-2024 government memo, APUR seats are reserved for local candidates of the Andhra and Rayalaseema regions; non-locals are barred from local seats.
- Non-locals with AP domicile (10-year residence, or a parent employed in AP) may compete for APUR seats only.
- Local status: four consecutive years of study (or residence) in the area up to first appearance in Final MBBS Part-II; a seven-year fallback rule applies.
- Siddhartha Medical College, Vijayawada is state-wide: local seats there split 65.62% AU and 34.38% SVU, plus 15% unreserved.
- Management quota S1A (15% of S1) is open nationally; S1B (85% of S1) is for AP locals; S2 is NRI and S3 institutional.
- The 2025-26 prospectus does not mention the Tanvi Behl ruling; AP kept its study-based local-area system.
