Candidates who missed the earlier registration window now have another opportunity to apply.

What Has Changed?

KNRUHS has now reopened the registration process after receiving requests from candidates.

Reopened Registration Window

Starts: 18 August 2026 — 2:00 PM

Ends: 20 August 2026 — 6:00 PM

The reopened window includes:

Who Should Apply?

NEET UG 2026 qualified candidates who:

• Meet KNRUHS Competent Authority Quota eligibility
• Want admission to Telangana MBBS/BDS seats under this quota
• Missed the earlier registration window

should complete the online application within the reopened period.

Already Registered? Do Not Register Again

KNRUHS has specifically stated:

Candidates who have already submitted their applications need not register again.

Therefore this reopened window is primarily important for eligible candidates who missed the original registration deadline.

Which Seats Are Covered?

Competent Authority Quota includes applicable seats in:

• Government Medical Colleges
• Government Dental Colleges
• Category A seats in Private Un-aided Medical Colleges
• Applicable Private Dental Colleges
• Applicable Minority institutions under the Competent Authority framework

Government-college seats are considered after exclusion of seats transferred to the 15% All India Quota as prescribed in the KNRUHS prospectus.

Important — Management Quota Is Separate

Do not confuse this notice with Telangana Management Quota counselling.

KNRUHS operates a separate registration process for:

Management Quota — B Category and C/NRI Category

with a separate portal and eligibility framework.

This reopening notice applies specifically to:

Competent Authority Quota

KNRUHS states that:

• Provisional merit will be prepared after scrutiny/verification of uploaded certificates.
• Final merit will follow after the prescribed grievance process.
• Web-option dates will be notified separately.
• Competent Authority seat matrix will be displayed before web options.

Therefore the current stage is still:

Choice Filling

Important for HGE Predictor & Choice Planning

Do not generate Telangana 2026 admission cutoff from the NEET qualifying score.

For future choice analysis use:

State Merit + Category + Quota + Seat Matrix + College Fee + Previous Closing Rank + Actual Choice Order

The 2026 Round 1 admission cutoff should be generated only after the official KNRUHS allotment result.
