Dr NTR University of Health Sciences (NTRUHS) has released the AP NEET UG Phase 3 MBBS seat allotment results for the academic year 2026-27. The allotment results, made public between October 17 and 19, 2026, aim to fill remaining vacancies for MBBS seats under both Competent Authority Quota (CQ) and Management Quota (MQ) in Andhra Pradesh.

This Phase 3 is the final allotment round for MBBS seats in the state. Candidates who have been allotted seats under the Management Quota must complete their reporting formalities at their respective colleges by 7 PM on October 21, 2026. The reporting deadline for Competent Authority Quota candidates was 4 PM on October 19, 2026.

AP NEET UG Phase 3 Allotment Details and Reporting

The AP NEET UG Phase 3 Management Quota (MQ) seat allotment result was released on October 19, 2026, while the Competent Authority Quota (CQ) final result for Phase 3 was released on October 17, 2026. These results are available in college-wise PDF format on the official website, drntr.uhsap.in, and do not require login details for viewing.

Candidates must download and print their allotment letter to support the offline reporting process at their allotted medical college. During reporting, original documents are required for verification, and the first-year tuition fee must be paid. Missing the specified reporting deadlines will lead to the automatic cancellation of the allotted seat, with no subsequent rounds for these seats. Classes for the MBBS course commenced on September 22, 2026.

Management Quota New Registrations and Status Changes

NTRUHS has also opened new registrations and a Category B to Category C (NRI-Lapsed) status change option for MBBS and BDS Management Quota seats for the 2026-27 academic year. This process began at 9:00 PM on October 19, 2026, and the application deadline is 11:00 AM on October 21, 2026. The notification for NRI-Lapsed Category Registration and Status Change was issued on October 19, 2026.

A late fee of ₹6,000 applies for Category B to Category C (NRI-Lapsed) status changes. For new registrations for Category B and Category C (NRI-Lapsed), the application and processing fee is ₹11,000, with an additional late fee of ₹20,000, bringing the total to ₹31,000. These fees are non-refundable and cannot be adjusted for future dates. A compulsory security deposit of ₹3,00,000 for MBBS and ₹1,00,000 for BDS must be paid before candidates can exercise web options for Management Quota seats.

Eligibility for Stray Vacancy Round

NTRUHS may issue a stray vacancy notice after October 21, 2026, if any MBBS seats remain unfilled. However, specific eligibility criteria apply for this potential round. Candidates who joined MBBS through Phase-I or Phase-II counselling under either Competent Authority Quota or Management Quota of Dr. NTRUHS are not eligible for the MBBS Stray Round counselling.

Similarly, candidates allotted MBBS seats through Phase-III (Mop-Up) counselling under either CQ or MQ of Dr. NTRUHS are also ineligible for the MBBS Stray Round counselling. In addition, candidates whose names appear in the list shared by the Medical Counselling Committee up to the Stray Round are not eligible for the MBBS Stray Round counselling. The university has cautioned against blocking seats under Management or NRI quota if candidates have joined medical colleges in other states, threatening legal action and reporting to the National Medical Commission.
