Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS) has begun the first phase of web-based counselling for MBBS admissions under the Competent Authority Quota for 2026-27. Eligible candidates can exercise their web options from 6 a.m. on August 29 to noon on September 1 on the official counselling portal.

The counselling covers MBBS seats in government and private unaided medical colleges affiliated with KNRUHS, including EWS, PwD, PMC, CAP and SCCL categories. Only candidates whose names appear in the final merit list published on August 28 are eligible. KNRUHS warned that those who miss the web options in this phase will not be allowed to participate in later rounds, and those who do not join an allotted seat will be disqualified from subsequent counselling.
KNRUHS conducts counselling for about 1,400 MBBS seats across Telangana each year, with the Competent Authority Quota covering roughly 85% of government college seats and a portion of private college seats. Candidates who skip the first phase forfeit all later rounds, a rule designed to prevent gaming the system. The final verification of original documents at the allotted college is a critical step, any mismatch can cancel the seat. Students should check the merit list immediately and exercise options before the noon September 1 deadline to avoid losing eligibility.
