KNRUHS begins first-phase counselling for PG medical admissions
The Story in Brief
Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS) on Friday, 13 November 2026, started the first phase of web-based counselling for Post Graduate Medical Degree and Diploma admissions under the Competent Authority Quota for the 2026-27 academic year. Eligible candidates listed in the final merit list can exercise their web options online from 2 pm on Friday, 13 November 2026 to 2 pm on Sunday, 15 November 2026. The admissions cover affiliated government and private medical colleges, minority institutions, and Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS), Hyderabad.
The university warned that failing to participate in the first phase or not joining an allotted seat will disqualify candidates from subsequent counselling rounds to prevent seat blocking. Allotted candidates must pay a university fee of Rs 35,000 online to download their allotment letters and complete final admissions by reporting to their respective colleges with original certificates and paying the prescribed tuition fees. Detailed guidelines, seat matrices, and helpline numbers are available on the official KNRUHS website.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The first phase of counselling sets a tight two-day window for candidates to lock in their choices, after which failure to join an allotted seat ends their chance in later rounds. For the roughly 2,000 PG medical seats across Telangana's government and private colleges, the disqualification rule aims to curb seat blocking that has delayed past cycles. The Rs 35,000 university fee and the requirement to report with original certificates add a further barrier for candidates who may need time to arrange funds or documents. What remains unresolved is how many seats will be left for the second phase after this round's allotments and surrenders.
