Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS) has released the provisional merit list for Telangana NEET PG Round 3. This list declares 1,883 candidates eligible for management quota MD (Doctor of Medicine) and MS (Master of Surgery) seats. Candidates must submit any grievances regarding this list by January 9, 2026, 4 PM .
Admission Quotas and Eligibility
The NEET PG (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Postgraduate) is the entrance exam for MD and MS courses across India. KNRUHS manages Telangana’s state-level counselling based on these scores. The provisional list specifically covers management quota seats, found in private medical and dental colleges. These seats often have different admission criteria and fee structures compared to government or competent authority quota seats.
Eligible candidates fall under several categories: general quota, Muslim minority, Non-Resident Indian (NRI) sponsored applicants, and institutional quotas. Each category follows specific rules and reservations set by the university and state, ensuring a structured admission process.
Ineligible Candidates and Document Compliance
KNRUHS also identified 10 applicants as ineligible for Round 3 counselling. Their disqualification resulted from either incomplete application submissions or failure to provide all required documents by the stipulated deadline. This emphasizes the critical importance of meticulous adherence to all submission guidelines. Candidates must ensure all necessary academic transcripts, identity proofs, NEET PG scorecards, and other essential certificates are correctly uploaded and verified. Any discrepancies or missing information can lead to immediate rejection.
Grievance Submission Process
The provisional merit list allows candidates to challenge any identified errors or omissions. This grievance window ensures fairness and accuracy before the final list is published. Candidates must carefully review their details and draft their grievances clearly, detailing specific issues. All grievances require supporting documents for substantiation. These must be scanned and emailed to knrpgadmissions@gmail.com. Submissions received after the strict deadline of January 9, 2026, 4 PM , will not be considered by KNRUHS. This step is crucial for affected candidates to rectify potential mistakes.
