The Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS) in Telangana has announced that registration and document uploading for the Telangana NEET UG counselling 2026 will start tomorrow at 6 am. This process is open to candidates who have qualified the NEET exam and are seeking admission to MBBS and BDS courses under the state quota in Telangana medical colleges. The deadline for completing registration and uploading certificates is August 12 at 6 pm.
Understanding Telangana NEET UG Counselling
NEET UG counselling is a centralized process that allocates medical and dental college seats to students based on their NEET exam scores. In Telangana, KNRUHS manages this counselling for 85% of the seats reserved for state quota candidates. The counselling process involves several steps, including registration, choice filling, seat allotment, and reporting to the allotted college. This system ensures a fair and transparent admission process for thousands of aspiring medical students.
Important Details About Registration and Fees
Students interested in participating in the Telangana NEET UG counselling must register online on the official KNRUHS website. The registration fee differs by category: Open Category (OC) and Backward Class (BC) candidates are required to pay Rs 4,000, while candidates from other categories pay Rs 3,200. It is important to note that this fee is non-refundable under any circumstances.
Once a seat is allotted, candidates must pay an additional university fee of Rs 12,000 to receive their allotment order. The tuition fees for the academic year 2026-27 will be determined by the Government of Telangana and announced separately. Additionally, selected candidates must submit a discontinuation bond worth Rs 20 lakh and an anti-drug affidavit signed by the candidate and their guardian, which is a mandatory part of the admission process.
Documents Required for Counselling
Applicants must upload a comprehensive set of documents in PDF or image format during registration. These include:
- NEET UG 2026 scorecard
- Birth certificate (SSC or 10th class marks memo)
- Qualifying exam certificate (Intermediate or equivalent)
- Study certificates for 9th, 10th, and Intermediate years
- Transfer certificate
- Community certificate issued by Telangana authorities (if applicable)

All documents must adhere to specified file size limits, and only certificates issued by competent authorities in Telangana will be accepted. Any submission of false or incorrect documents, such as fake UDID cards or affidavits, will lead to cancellation of the allotted seat and legal consequences.
What This Means for Telangana Medical Aspirants
With over 38,000 candidates qualifying for MBBS and BDS admissions under the state quota, the counselling process is a critical step for students aiming to secure medical education in Telangana. The structured timeline and clear guidelines provided by KNRUHS help candidates prepare their documents and complete registration efficiently.
