On Monday, Dr NTR University of Health Sciences (NTRUHS), Vijayawada, released a notification inviting candidates to exercise one-time web options for admission into MBBS courses under the Competent Authority Quota (CQ) for the academic year 2025-26.
This announcement, reported by The Hans India, is a key step in the Andhra Pradesh NEET Counselling process, which governs admissions to MBBS and BDS programs in government and private medical colleges across the state.Overview of the Notification
The notification outlines the process for candidates to select their preferred colleges and courses through an online portal managed by NTRUHS. The Competent Authority Quota covers the 85% state quota seats for MBBS and BDS programs, reserved for candidates who meet eligibility criteria, including Andhra Pradesh domicile and a qualifying score in the NEET UG 2025 examination. The one-time web options exercise allows candidates to submit their college and course preferences, which will determine seat allotment based on merit and availability.
Steps to Participate in the Counselling Process
To secure admission to MBBS courses under the Competent Authority Quota, candidates must follow these steps:
- Registration and Login: Visit the official NTRUHS counselling portal, accessible via drntr.uhsap.in, and register using your NEET UG 2025 roll number, rank, and other required details. Complete the verification process as instructed.
- Document Upload and Verification: Upload scanned copies of essential documents, such as NEET UG 2025 scorecard, Class 12 marksheet, domicile certificate, and valid ID proof (e.g., Aadhaar). Ensure documents meet the specified format and size requirements.
- Choice Filling and Locking: Select and prioritize preferred MBBS colleges and courses. Lock your choices before the deadline, as changes are not permitted after submission.
- Seat Allotment: NTRUHS will allocate seats based on NEET UG 2025 scores, state merit rank, reservation criteria, and the preferences submitted. Results will be published on the official portal.
- Institute Reporting: Candidates allotted seats must report to their assigned colleges within the specified timeframe to complete admission formalities and pay the required fees.
Eligibility and Reservation Criteria
Eligible candidates must:
- Be at least 17 years old by December 31, 2025.
- Meet Andhra Pradesh domicile or local/non-local status requirements.
- Have qualified NEET UG 2025 with the minimum cutoff score, as determined by the National Testing Agency (NTA).

Seat Matrix and Counselling Rounds
The exact number of MBBS and BDS seats available under the Competent Authority Quota for 2025-26 will be announced by NTRUHS. The counselling process typically includes multiple rounds, such as Phase 1, Phase 2, and Mop-Up/Stray Vacancy Rounds, to fill any vacant seats. Candidates who do not secure a seat in the initial round or wish to upgrade their allotted seat can participate in subsequent rounds, subject to availability and re-submission of preferences.
Important Notes for Candidates
- Document Accuracy: Ensure all uploaded documents are authentic and clear. Submission of forged documents, such as NEET rank cards or category certificates, will result in cancellation of admission and potential legal consequences.

- Official Updates: Regularly visit drntr.uhsap.in for the latest information on merit lists, seat allotment results, counselling schedules, and other updates.
