| Category | Registration Fee (2025) |

MBBS Annual Tuition Fees in Telangana Colleges (2025 Reference)
After seat allotment, you pay tuition fees directly to the college. Government MBBS fees in Telangana are among the lowest in India, regulated by the state government. Private college fees are regulated by the Telangana State Fee Regulatory Committee (TSFRC).
| College Type | Annual Tuition Fee (Approx., 2025) |
|---|---|
| Government Medical College — State Quota / AIQ | Rs. 12,000 – Rs. 24,000 per year |
| Private Medical College — Category A (KNRUHS Quota) | Rs. 5 lakh – Rs. 11 lakh per year |
| Private Medical College — Management Quota | Rs. 11 lakh – Rs. 24 lakh per year |
All allotted MBBS students also pay an annual university fee of approximately Rs. 12,000 to KNRUHS, separate from the college tuition fee. The exact fee structure for 2026-27 will be published in the KNRUHS prospectus and by TSFRC before the counselling begins.
How KNRUHS Prepares the Rank List for the Telangana NEET Merit List 2026?
After registration and certificate verification are completed, KNRUHS releases a state merit list for Telangana State Quota candidates. This list is different from the NTA All India Merit List. During Telangana NEET Counselling 2026, seat allotment is based on your KNRUHS state rank, not your NEET All India Rank (AIR).
- The merit list is prepared based on your NEET UG 2026 total marks (out of 720).
- Separate merit lists are prepared for MBBS and BDS courses.
- Category-wise merit lists are prepared for OC (General), BC-A, BC-B, BC-C, BC-D, BC-E, SC, and ST candidates separately.
- Only candidates who complete registration and pass certificate verification are included in the KNRUHS merit list.
- The merit list is published on the official KNRUHS website and the admission portal.
- You can check your Telangana state rank by logging in with your credentials.
- If you registered but did not clear certificate verification, you will not appear in the merit list and will not be eligible for seat allotment.
Telangana NEET Counselling 2026: Tie-Breaking Criteria
When two or more candidates have the same NEET UG 2026 total marks, KNRUHS resolves the tie using the following criteria in order:
- A candidate with higher Biology marks in NEET UG 2026 is ranked higher.
- If still tied, the candidate with higher Chemistry marks in NEET UG 2026 is ranked higher.
- If still tied, the candidate with fewer incorrect answers across all subjects in NEET UG 2026 is ranked higher.
- If still tied, the older candidate (higher age / earlier date of birth) is ranked higher.
Web Options and Choice Filling in Telangana NEET Counselling 2026
Web options is the stage where you enter your college and course preferences online in priority order.
- This is one of the most critical steps in Telangana NEET Counselling.
- Your seat allotment depends on your KNRUHS state merit rank, your category, and the order of preferences you save.
- Plan your options carefully using the previous year's cutoff data.
How to Fill Web Options?
Tips for Filling Web Options in Telangana NEET Counselling 2026
- Add all colleges you can accept: Never leave out a college just because you are unsure about it. More options always mean better chances of getting a seat you like.
- Prioritize government colleges: If lower fees are important to you, list government college options at the top, since government MBBS fees in Telangana are as low as Rs. 12,000-24,000 per year.
- Use 2025 cutoff as your benchmark: Check the cutoff data in the section below to set realistic expectations and rank colleges intelligently based on your NEET score.
- Add Category A private seats as backup: Include Category A seats in private colleges lower in your preference list, so you have a backup if government options are beyond your reach.
- Always save before closing: Click the "Save" button after adding or reordering options. An unsaved session means no preferences are recorded.
- Check seat availability: The portal shows available seats during web options entry. Focus on colleges with open seats in your category.
Seat Allotment Rounds in Telangana NEET Counselling 2026
KNRUHS conducts Telangana NEET Counselling in four rounds. Each round fills seats that remain vacant from previous rounds. Most seats are filled in Rounds 1 and 2. The Mop-up and Stray Vacancy rounds deal with leftover seats.
| Round | What Happens | Who Can Participate |
|---|---|---|
| Round 1 | First and largest allotment round. All registered and verified candidates participate. Seats allotted based on merit rank and web options. | All registered and certificate-verified candidates |
| Round 2 | Fills seats vacant after Round 1 — from candidates who forfeited their seat or did not report. Web options can be re-entered. | All registered candidates; new registrations may be allowed as per KNRUHS announcement |
| Mop-up Round | Fills seats still vacant after Rounds 1 and 2. A limited set of eligible candidates can participate based on KNRUHS guidelines. | Eligible candidates as per KNRUHS announcement for the mop-up round |
| Stray Vacancy Round | Final round for any remaining vacant seats. Often conducted physically at KNRUHS, Warangal. Very few seats are available in this round. | Eligible candidates who meet KNRUHS criteria for this round |
Steps After Seat Allotment
Once KNRUHS releases the seat allotment result, you must act quickly within the reporting window:
- Download the allotment order from the KNRUHS admission portal by logging in with your credentials.
- Report to the allotted college within the specified reporting dates. Do not wait until the last day.
- Carry all original documents and self-attested photocopies to the college.
- Pay the first-year tuition fee and KNRUHS university fee at the college office.
- Complete all admission formalities at the college — including medical examination if required.
If you do not report to your allotted college by the last reporting date, your seat is cancelled and given to the next eligible candidate. Depending on KNRUHS rules for that round, you may also lose eligibility for future rounds.
Telangana NEET Counselling Cutoff 2025: College-wise Reference for 2026
The Telangana NEET Counselling 2026 cutoff will be released only after all counselling rounds are complete — expected by late 2026. The 2026 cutoff may change based on the NEET re-exam difficulty, total qualified candidates, and any seat matrix changes.

FAQs
Ques. Does the NEET UG 2026 re-exam affect Telangana NEET Counselling dates?
Ans. Yes. The original NEET UG 2026 exam on May 3 was cancelled due to paper leak allegations. The re-exam was held on June 21, 2026. This pushes the NEET result to mid-to-late July 2026 (compared to June 14 in 2025), which in turn delays Telangana NEET Counselling registration, merit list publication, and all allotment rounds by approximately 6-8 weeks compared to 2025. The structure and process of counselling remain the same — only the dates shift forward.
Ques. What is the registration fee for Telangana NEET Counselling 2026?
Ans. Based on 2025 data, the non-refundable registration fee is Rs. 3,500 for General / OBC / BC candidates and Rs. 2,900 for SC / ST candidates. The fee must be paid online through the official KNRUHS admission portal. It is non-refundable under all circumstances. The exact 2026 fee will be confirmed in the official KNRUHS notification after the NEET result.
Ques. How many rounds are there in Telangana NEET Counselling?
Ans. Telangana NEET Counselling is conducted in four rounds: Round 1, Round 2, Mop-up Round, and Stray Vacancy Round. Rounds 1 and 2 are the main merit-based allotment rounds where most seats are filled. The Mop-up round fills seats vacant after Rounds 1 and 2. The Stray Vacancy round is the final round for any remaining seats, usually conducted physically at KNRUHS, Warangal, with very limited seats available.
Ques. What is the NEET cutoff for Osmania Medical College in the Telangana state quota?
Ans. For the State Quota, 85% seats in the General category, the closing Telangana state merit rank at Osmania Medical College was approximately 18,000–20,000 in 2025. For the AIQ 15% quota (General), the closing NEET marks were around 585 with an All India Rank of approximately 2,892. The 2026 cutoff will depend on the NEET re-exam difficulty and candidate performance and will only be known after counselling is completed.
Ques. Can candidates from other states apply for Telangana NEET Counselling?
Ans. No. The 85% State Quota seats in government colleges and Category A (50%) seats in private colleges are reserved exclusively for local (domicile) candidates of Telangana. Candidates from other states cannot apply for these seats through KNRUHS counselling. Students from outside Telangana can only apply for Management Quota seats in private medical colleges directly through the college, outside the KNRUHS counselling process.
Ques. What documents are needed at the time of reporting to the allotted college?
Ans. You must carry originals and self-attested photocopies of: NEET UG 2026 admit card and scorecard, Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets and certificates, study and transfer certificates (Class 6–12), Aadhaar card, nativity/domicile certificate, caste certificate (if applicable), income certificate (if applicable), KNRUHS registration hall ticket, KNRUHS allotment order, and recent passport size photographs. Missing any original document can result in the cancellation of your admission.
Ques. What is the difference between Category A and Management Quota seats in Telangana private medical colleges?
Ans. In Telangana private medical colleges, 50% of MBBS seats are Category A (Competent Authority Quota). These are allotted by KNRUHS through merit-based counselling using NEET scores, with fees regulated by the Telangana State Fee Regulatory Committee (TSFRC) — typically Rs. 5 lakh to Rs. 11 lakh per year. The remaining 50% are Management Quota seats filled directly by colleges, with fees also within TSFRC limits but higher — typically Rs. 11 lakh to Rs. 24 lakh per year.
Ques. Is there an age limit for Telangana NEET Counselling 2026?
Ans. You must be at least 17 years old as of December 31, 2026, to be eligible for MBBS or BDS admission. The Supreme Court’s 2018 ruling removed any upper age limit for NEET UG-based admissions. Always confirm both criteria with the official KNRUHS 2026 prospectus once it is released, as state-level rules may carry specific provisions.
Ques. What is the difference between KNRUHS counselling and MCC AIQ counselling for Telangana?
Ans. KNRUHS conducts counselling for 85% State Quota seats in Telangana government colleges and Category A (50%) seats in private colleges — reserved for Telangana domicile candidates. MCC (Medical Counselling Committee, New Delhi) conducts separate counselling for 15% All India Quota (AIQ) seats in government colleges, open to candidates from any state. For Telangana’s top colleges like Osmania, Gandhi, and Kakatiya, both MCC (for 15% AIQ) and KNRUHS (for 85% State Quota) conduct separate rounds. Candidates must register separately for each if they wish to be considered under both quotas.
