Why KNRUHS Reopened Registration
KNRUHS had originally opened registration for Competent Authority Quota MBBS and BDS seats at 6 AM on August 5 and closed it at 6 PM on August 12, 2026. Several eligible candidates were unable to complete the process within this period. The university reopened the window for two additional days to give them another opportunity to register before the merit list process begins.
Who Can Apply
Registration in the reopened window is open only to candidates who qualified NEET UG 2026 with the cut-off score fixed for their category or above. As per the original notification, the qualifying marks are
- 213 (50th percentile) for General and EWS candidates,
- 194 (45th percentile) for General PwD candidates, and
- 177 (40th percentile) for SC, ST, BC candidates and their PwD counterparts.
Note: Eligibility is restricted to Telangana-domiciled candidates.
How to Register
Candidates need to visit tsmedadm.tsche.in and complete the online registration form. They must then upload scanned copies of the required certificates before the window closes at 6 PM on August 20. The university has advised applicants to complete the process early instead of waiting for the final hours, since no further extension is guaranteed.
Registration and certificate upload need to be done only once across all Competent Authority Quota counselling rounds. Candidates who registered during the earlier August 5-12 window should not submit a fresh application.
What Happens After Registration
Once registration closes, KNRUHS will release a provisional state merit list for Competent Authority Quota candidates. Final document verification will take place at the respective allotted colleges at the time of admission. The university is yet to announce the seat matrix, tuition fee details and the schedule for web options.
