Andhra Pradesh NEET PG Counselling Registration Fees

All fees are non-refundable and must be paid through the payment gateway on the counselling portal using net banking, debit card, credit card, or UPI. Because fee amounts are revised periodically, always cross-check the exact figure in the current year’s official notification before making a payment. Do not rely solely on previous years’ numbers.

Who is Eligible for Andhra Pradesh NEET PG Counselling 2026

Before you register, make sure you meet these basic requirements: 

• NEET PG qualification: You must have cleared NEET PG with a score at or above the cut off prescribed for your category

• Educational qualification: A recognized MBBS or BDS degree, as applicable to the PG course you’re applying for

• Internship completion: Your compulsory rotating internship must be completed, or verifiably due to complete, by the date specified in the counselling notification

• Medical registration: You need to be registered with the Andhra Pradesh Medical Council or an equivalent state medical council

• Category: You must fall under one of the recognized categories – OC, BC-A, BC-B, BC-C, BC-D, BC-E, SC, ST, EWS, or PwD – to claim any reservation benefit

• Local/domicile status: Required if you want to compete for the 85% state quota seats reserved for local candidates

Both Competent Authority Quota and Management Quota candidates must meet the same basic Eligibility Criteria, though Management Quota seats in private colleges are also open, in part, to non-domicile and NRI candidates.

Documents Required for Andhra Pradesh NEET PG Counselling

Candidates should carry the original documents along with one set of self-attested photocopies during document verification. Verification is strict, and missing a single document can delay your registration. The commonly required documents include:

• NEET PG 2026 admit card and scorecard

• MBBS/BDS degree certificate and internship completion certificate

• Permanent or provisional medical registration certificate

• Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets and certificates

• Photo ID proof (Aadhaar, passport, or driving licence)

• Category certificate (SC/ST/BC/EWS) issued by a competent authority, where applicable

• Domicile or local status certificate from the Mandal Revenue Office (MRO), if claiming local reservation

• Income certificate, where required for EWS claims

• Passport-size photographs (usually two, matching the photo uploaded during registration)

• Payment receipt for the registration fee

Make sure your EWS and category certificates are valid for the current financial year – outdated certificates are one of the most common reasons candidates get flagged during document verification.

Andhra Pradesh NEET PG Counselling Reservation Policy

Andhra NEET PG Counselling follows the reservation policy prescribed by the Government of Andhra Pradesh for State Quota seats. The reservation applies to Government Medical Colleges and Competent Authority Quota seats in private medical colleges. 

• SC: 15%

• ST: 6%

• BC (combined sub-categories): Around 29%, split across BC-A, BC-B, BC-C, BC-D, and BC-E

• EWS: 10%

• Open/OC: The remaining seats

• PwD (Persons with Benchmark Disabilities): A horizontal reservation of around 5%, applied within each vertical category

On top of category-based reservation, AP also applies a local-area reservation that’s fairly unique to the state: 85% of government college seats under the state quota go to local candidates, while the remaining 15% are open to non-local candidates within Andhra Pradesh. This local-area layer sits on top of the caste-based reservation, so your final allotment chances depend on both your category and your local status.

Andhra Pradesh NEET PG Domicile (Local Status) Criteria 

Local status in Andhra Pradesh NEET PG Counselling is determined according to the eligibility criteria prescribed by Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences (Dr. NTRUHS) and the applicable state admission rules. To claim eligibility for the 85% State Quota seats, candidates generally need to provide: 

• Proof of continuous study in Andhra Pradesh-based educational institutions for the prescribed number of academic years. 

• A valid Local Status/Domicile Certificate issued by the Mandal Revenue Officer (MRO) or another competent authority.

• Documents confirming study within the recognized local area, such as the Andhra University (AU) region or Sri Venkateswara University (SVU) region, where applicable.

Candidates who do not satisfy the prescribed local-area criteria may be considered under the applicable non-local category, subject to the current year’s official counselling rules. Such candidates are generally not eligible for the 85% State Quota seats, but they may apply for Management Quota or NRI Quota seats in private medical colleges, subject to the applicable eligibility criteria.

Andhra Pradesh NEET PG Counselling Total Rounds 

Andhra Pradesh NEET PG Counselling is usually conducted in four rounds: Round 1, Round 2, Mop-Up Round, and Stray Vacancy Round. Each round fills vacant MD, MS, and PG Diploma seats based on NEET PG merit and seat availability 

• Round 1: The first main allotment round based on registered candidates’ rank, category, local status, and Web Options 

• Round 2: Allows candidates to upgrade to a better preference or lets new candidates enter based on vacant seats

• Mop-Up Round: Conducted after Round 2 to fill remaining vacancies, often with fresh registration allowed for candidates who missed earlier rounds

• Stray Vacancy Round: The final round, usually offline or with a shorter online window, to fill any seats still lying vacant

At each stage, candidates choose to either Freeze (accept the seat and exit counselling) or Float/Upgrade (accept the current seat but stay in the running for a better one in the next round – with the current seat automatically surrendered if upgraded). Once you have been allotted a seat, reporting to the college within the specified deadline is mandatory, or the seat is treated as forfeited.

Expected Andhra Pradesh NEET PG Counselling Important Dates 2026

AP NEET PG Counselling typically opens a few weeks after NEET PG results are declared. The National Board of Examinations conducts the exam, and NTRUHS begins its counselling schedule soon after. Based on the pattern followed in recent cycles, here’s what the timeline generally looks like:

Since NTRUHS revises exact dates every year, candidates should keep checking the official notification on the university’s website rather than relying on last year’s calendar alone. Setting a reminder around the expected NEET PG result date is the safest way to avoid missing the registration window.
