The Dr NTR University of Health Sciences has initiated the choice filling process for AP NEET PG 2025 Round 1. This initial phase is for candidates seeking admission under the Competent Authority Quota (CQ) seats. The final deadline for submitting or editing web-options is December 3 . Candidates must complete this process online via the official university website, drntr.uhsap.in.
This phase is required for securing a postgraduate medical seat in Andhra Pradesh for the upcoming academic year. Candidates are advised to review their choices carefully before the deadline.
Eligibility for Competent Authority Quota (CQ) Seats
All candidates whose names appear on the AP NEET PG counselling 2025 final merit list are eligible to participate. This includes medical professionals categorized as in-service and those who are non-service candidates. Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD) are also eligible to exercise their web options for these seats.
The university’s official notice provides specific eligibility details for minority groups. Muslim Minority Candidates are qualified to apply for Competent Authority Quota seats. This eligibility extends to admissions in both non-minority and minority medical colleges within the state. This policy allows broader access for these specific minority candidates into postgraduate medical education programs.
Navigating the Admission Process
Upon successful seat allotment in Round 1, candidates will receive an allotment letter. A non-refundable fee of Rs 23,600 is required to download this letter. This payment must be processed online through the designated portal.
Following the download of the allotment letter, shortlisted candidates must proceed to complete the admission stage. This involves several mandatory steps. Candidates must first submit all required original certificates to the designated college or university authorities. Next, they are responsible for paying the full tuition fee as specified for their course and category. Finally, they must furnish any necessary bonds according to the university’s and college’s regulatory requirements.
Adherence to these admission criteria is enforced. Failure by a candidate to fulfill any of these requirements, or to complete the entire admission process by the officially specified date, will result in automatic cancellation of their candidature. This means the allotted medical seat will be forfeited, and the candidate will lose their opportunity for admission in that round.
Private Medical College Tuition Fees for CQ Seats
The Dr NTR University of Health Sciences has published the tuition fee structure for the academic year 2025-26. These fees specifically apply to Competent Authority Quota seats offered in private unaided medical colleges. The financial charges vary based on the chosen type of medical course:
| Course Name | Fee Structure (Category A – CQ Seats) |
|---|---|
| Clinical Degree/Diploma | Rs 4,96,800 |
| Para Clinical Degree/Diploma | Rs 1,55,250 |
| Pre Clinical Degree/Diploma | Rs 70,380 |
These published figures represent the annual tuition amount payable by students admitted under the competent authority quota in these institutions.
Key Regulations for Round 1 Allotment
Candidates must understand the implications of their actions regarding Round 1 seat acceptance. The official notice clearly outlines rules concerning non-joining or resignation from any allotted seat.
If a candidate does not join a seat allotted in Round 1, or chooses to resign from it after joining, they will face specific restrictions. That particular seat, even if it becomes available again in Round 2, will not be an option for that candidate to choose during the subsequent web option exercise. This regulation aims to streamline the counselling process and manage seat allocation efficiently across all rounds.
