Dr NTR University Of Health Sciences (NTRUHS) released the final merit list for Andhra Pradesh NEET PG counselling 2025, declaring 4,280 candidates eligible for postgraduate medical admissions. This announcement marks a critical step for medical graduates aiming to specialize in the state.
The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Postgraduate (NEET PG) is a national-level entrance exam. It allows medical graduates to pursue MD (Doctor of Medicine) and MS (Master of Surgery) degrees. The counselling process then allocates seats in medical colleges based on exam ranks and candidate preferences.
Eligibility Details Confirmed
Out of all applicants, 14 candidates were ineligible for state counselling. They failed to meet specified eligibility criteria. Strict adherence to these criteria ensures only qualified candidates proceed to admission rounds.
The final merit list categorizes eligible candidates. 4,108 individuals qualified under the non-service category, for candidates without prior government service. 172 candidates are eligible under the in-service category, for medical professionals already serving in government institutions.
Reasons for ineligibility were specified. Two in-service applicants and 12 non-service candidates were excluded. The main reason was non-submission of 10-year residence proof in the required format. This documentation is crucial for verifying state-specific eligibility.
PwD Category Verification
Specific verification was conducted for Persons with Disabilities (PwD) candidates. Seven candidates successfully completed this verification , adhering to National Medical Commission (NMC) norms. This process ensures fair representation and access for PwBD candidates.
NTRUHS clarified that PwBD applicants can only select web options for specialties recommended by their Medical Board. This aligns with ensuring candidates pursue fields suitable for their physical capabilities.
Merit List Subject to Revision
The university stated the AP NEET PG final merit list 2025 may be revised . Revisions could occur if discrepancies or ineligibility issues are identified during subsequent verification processes. This provision allows for corrections and maintains admission integrity.
Candidates should remain vigilant. Identified issues could alter eligibility status or merit ranking, affecting seat allocation.
Application Reopening and Future Rounds
NTRUHS announced it would reopen applications for state NEET PG counselling. This offers a second chance for candidates who missed the initial deadline. Applicants must submit forms with a late fee.
A detailed schedule for AP NEET PG Round 1 counselling 2025 will be announced soon. This schedule outlines key dates for subsequent admission stages. Official updates will be on drntr.uhsap.in and apuhs-pgadmissions.aptonline.in.
