Telangana NEET PG Counselling (KNRUHS)
How KNRUHS fills Telangana's state-quota PG seats — including the state's large in-service share.
Telangana's state-quota PG medical seats are filled by Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS). It runs the state's online counselling separately from the All-India MCC round, and — like its neighbours in the south — it carries a substantial in-service quota for serving government doctors.
This guide covers who conducts Telangana counselling, which seats it fills, the local/non-local eligibility that governs a state seat, what the KNRUHS portal collects, and how the process runs.
Who conducts this counselling
KNRUHS is Telangana's health-sciences university and the competent authority for PG medical and dental admissions in the state. It publishes the prospectus, verifies eligibility, runs the online counselling and declares allotments.
A large share of Telangana's state PG seats is set aside for in-service candidates (serving government medical officers), with the rest filled on competent-authority (open state) merit. The All India Quota portion of Telangana's government seats is handled by MCC.
What seats it fills
- Competent-authority (state-quota) PG seats in Telangana government medical colleges.
- The in-service quota reserved for serving government doctors.
- The state-quota share of PG seats in private and self-financing colleges under the state's arrangement.
Who is eligible
A qualifying NEET PG rank is required, and a Telangana state seat additionally depends on local-area/nativity eligibility as defined for the state — usually through where you studied and your local status. In-service candidates are considered under the service quota with service weightage.
Because Telangana's local/non-local rules and its service split materially change the seats within reach, confirm your category against the year's prospectus before planning around a state seat.
- A qualifying NEET PG rank/percentile for your category.
- MBBS from a recognised college with completed internship.
- Telangana local-area/nativity eligibility for a state seat, per the prospectus.
- In-service candidates: qualifying government service, considered under the service quota.
- State reservation categories apply where claimed and documented.
The official portal & what it collects
What you enter / upload
- NEET PG credentials and rank, verified against the NBEMS result.

The process, step by step
Register on the KNRUHS portal
Register with your NEET PG details when KNRUHS opens counselling. Your local status, category and service status are captured here and decide the seats you can be considered for.
Certificate verification and merit list
KNRUHS verifies eligibility and category documents and publishes the merit list for the relevant pool (competent-authority and in-service are handled distinctly).
Pay the fee and exercise web options
Pay the processing fee, then give your web options — the ordered list of colleges and courses you will accept — and lock them. Order of preference is what the allotment follows.
Seat allotment across phases
Allotment runs against state merit within your pool and your options. KNRUHS runs the process in phases, with reporting and exit rules that tighten as phases progress.
Documents you'll need
- NEET PG rank letter / scorecard and admit card
- MBBS degree / provisional certificate and mark sheets
- Internship completion certificate
- Medical-council registration certificate
- Class 10 / SSC certificate (date of birth)
- Local status / study certificates as required for nativity

Common questions
What is the competent authority quota in Telangana?
It is the open state-quota pool filled on merit by KNRUHS, as distinct from the in-service quota reserved for serving government doctors. Which pool you fall into depends on your service status and eligibility.
Do I need Telangana local status for a state seat?
A state seat generally depends on Telangana local-area/nativity eligibility, established through your study history and local status per the prospectus. Confirm your category before relying on a state seat.
Is KNRUHS counselling separate from MCC?
Yes. KNRUHS fills Telangana's state-quota seats; MCC fills the All India Quota and deemed/central seats. Separate registrations, separate seat pools.
