Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS) has opened the first phase of web-based counselling for BSc Nursing and Post Basic BSc Nursing admissions under the Competent Authority Quota for 2026-27. Eligible candidates can exercise their web options from 10:30 AM on 21 October to 10:00 AM on 24 October through the official counselling portal.
Candidates whose names appear in the final merit list and whose certificates were provisionally verified may participate, including those under the Persons with Disabilities category. The counselling covers seats across government and private nursing colleges affiliated with KNRUHS, distributed among Open, EWS, SC, ST and BC reservation categories. For the Post Basic BSc Nursing course, 11 seats are available for male candidates and 109 for female candidates.
Allotted candidates must pay a university fee of Rs 6,000 through the online payment gateway to download their allotment letters. Candidates are advised to review the category-wise seat distribution at their preferred colleges before finalising their web options.
The short web-options window from 21 to 24 October puts pressure on candidates to finalise college and category preferences quickly. The seat matrix shows that female candidates have nearly ten times more Post Basic BSc Nursing seats than male candidates, reflecting the skewed distribution in the state's nursing colleges. The university has not announced the exact number of total BSc Nursing seats in this notification, leaving candidates to rely on earlier circulars for the full picture. KNRUHS will proceed with seat allotment and issue allotment letters only after the window closes at 10:00 AM on 24 October.
