Telangana’s postgraduate medical aspirants have 48 hours to lock in their college choices. Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS) opened the first phase of web-based counselling for PG Medical Degree and Diploma admissions on Friday, November 13, and the window closes at 2 pm on Sunday, November 15.
The counselling covers seats under the Competent Authority Quota for the 2026-27 academic year. The merit list is drawn from NEET PG 2026, the national entrance test for postgraduate medical seats. Candidates submit their choices online at the official counselling portal.
A 48-hour window
The web options window runs from 2 pm on Friday, November 13, to 2 pm on Sunday, November 15. Only candidates whose names appear in the final merit list can exercise their options. Candidates list their preferred colleges and courses in order, and seats are allotted on merit from those choices.
The admissions cover affiliated government and private medical colleges, minority institutions, and Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) in Hyderabad. KNRUHS runs the centralised counselling for Telangana’s state-quota PG medical seats. The university also published the seat matrix for Service Non-Clinical seats on Friday, and the full matrices are on its official website, along with the detailed guidelines and helpline numbers. Candidates who run into trouble while submitting options can use those helpline numbers.
What happens after allotment
Candidates who get a seat in this phase must pay a university fee of Rs 35,000 online to download their allotment letter. They then report to the allotted college with their original certificates and pay the prescribed tuition fees to complete admission.
Students should keep their documents ready before allotment. Our admission documents checklist covers what to carry for verification.
Skipping this round has a cost
KNRUHS has warned candidates to choose carefully. Anyone who fails to take part in the first phase, or who does not join a seat allotted to them, will be disqualified from subsequent rounds of counselling.
The rule exists to stop seat blocking, where candidates hold on to seats they never intend to join and leave them vacant for others. KNRUHS says the penalty is there to prevent exactly that.
