Telangana NEET PG state counselling
KNRUHS fills convener seats only with Telangana locals who did MBBS in Telangana (or at Siddhartha, Vijayawada). The costliest mistake is skipping Phase 1 web options, which bars you from every later phase.
- ~666 government state-quota seats
- 11 government colleges
- Official documents, cited
Where 2026 counselling stands
No 2026-27 PG Medical notification published as of 1 October 2026; KNRUHS is currently running MDS 2026-27 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 KNRUHS itself allots.
- 11
- government colleges matched
- 1,334
- sanctioned PG intake
- 724
- All India Quota, 2025
- 666
- left as state quota
Who can apply
- Competent Authority Quota: local candidates only (four consecutive years of study in Telangana up to the qualifying exam); candidates from other states are not eligible.
- MBBS must be from a Telangana institution or Siddhartha Medical College, Vijayawada, with permanent Telangana State Medical Council registration.
- The 2025-26 prospectus excludes those admitted to MBBS under Telangana's non-local quota from local status (G.O.Ms.148, 28-10-2024).
- The High Court struck that clause down for 2024-25 (17-12-2024) and the Supreme Court refused a stay; 2025-26 allotments were declared subject to the pending cases.
- Management quota MQ-1 (25% of private-college seats) is open to candidates from all states; MQ-2 is NRI and MQ-3 institutional.
- Muslim Minority candidates alone may take convener seats in minority colleges.
| Seat type | How it works |
|---|---|
| Competent Authority Quota, government colleges and NIMS | Seats left after the All India Quota contribution, for Telangana locals on NEET PG rank. |
| Competent Authority Quota, private colleges | The 50% of private-college seats not under management quota; minority-college convener seats go to Muslim Minority candidates. |
| MQ-1 (25%) | Management seats in private colleges open to candidates from all states and UTs; no reservation. |
| MQ-2 NRI (15%) and MQ-3 institutional (10%) | NRI / NRI-sponsored candidates, and candidates sponsored by the college management. |
Reservation, service and fees
- Reservation
- SC 15% (SC-1 1%, SC-2 9%, SC-3 5%), ST 10%, BC 29% (A 7%, B 10%, C 1%, D 7%, E 4%); horizontal women 33.3% and PwD 5%. Telangana-issued caste certificates only.

- Service bond
- Non-service PGs serve the Telangana government for one year: bond Rs 20 lakh (degree) or Rs 10 lakh (diploma). Leaving after the free-exit deadline costs Rs 50 lakh and a three-year counselling bar.
- Fees
- Tuition is set by G.O.Ms.107/108 HM&FW (28-07-2023) and paid at the college; amounts are not in the prospectus. University fee Rs 29,600 for 2025-26; registration Rs 10,000 (OC/BC) or Rs 8,000 (SC/ST).
How the process runs
- Register on tspgmed.tsche.in, pay the registration fee and upload original certificates (verified online, once).
- KNRUHS publishes provisional and final merit lists, with addendums for later-verified candidates.
- Exercise web options in Phase 1; there is no limit on the number of options.
- Pay the Rs 29,600 university fee, download the allotment letter, report to the college with originals and bonds.
- Phase 2, mop-up, additional mop-up and stray-vacancy phases follow; free-exit windows are notified between phases.
- Management quota is a separate application and separate phases.
