Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh – Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences has reopened the application window for Andhra Pradesh NEET PG 2025 counselling under the competent authority quota. Candidates who previously missed the registration deadline can now submit their applications with an added late fee. The final deadline for all late fee submissions is **October 31**.
This application process is crucial for admission to various postgraduate medical and diploma courses across Andhra Pradesh. These programs are offered in a range of institutions, including government, un-aided private non-minority, and minority medical colleges within the state. Both in-service medical professionals and non-service candidates are eligible to apply during this extended period.
For those candidates who completed their initial registration for the state counselling, an essential next step involves uploading scanned copies of their original documents. This step is mandatory for the university to conduct proper verification of credentials and ensure eligibility for the counselling rounds.
The university initially commenced the AP NEET PG application process in September. The first registration phase concluded at the end of that month, allowing candidates to apply without incurring a late fee. Alongside the initial application phase, Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences also issued a clarification regarding eligibility. It identified **191 candidates** who are barred from participating in the current state counselling process. This group includes **22 individuals** who failed to report to their allotted colleges following the previous year’s counselling. Additionally, **169 candidates** are excluded due to discontinuing their postgraduate courses at various points between 2022 and the present day.
AP NEET PG 2025 Late Application Fees
Andhra Pradesh stands as the sole state to implement a late fee provision for candidates who did not meet the initial NEET PG application deadlines. This policy allows a second chance for eligible medical graduates to apply for postgraduate admissions.
It is important for all applicants to note that any fees paid, encompassing the application fee, processing fee, and the additional late fee, are strictly non-refundable and cannot be adjusted against future applications or services. Candidates must ensure their eligibility and readiness to proceed before making payment.
The late fee structure varies significantly based on where a candidate completed their MBBS degree and their specific reservation category. Medical graduates who obtained their MBBS qualification outside India face the highest total application cost due to additional processing requirements. Below is a comprehensive breakdown of the application fees, including the late fee component:
| Category | Application & Processing Fee (with GST) | Late Fee (with GST) | Total Fee |

| MBBS completed within AP (OC/BC) | Rs 7,080 | Rs 20,000 | Rs 27,080 |
