VIJAYAWADA: Dr NTR University of Health Sciences has released the provisional merit list for Post Graduate Dental Degree and Diploma courses under Management Quota for 2026-27. The list, uploaded on 26 September, follows verification of scanned certificates uploaded by applicants.
The PDF opens with seven numbered notes that set the rules for this stage. Discrepancies or grievances must be raised with supporting documents by 1:00 PM on 28 September. Grievances are accepted only by ticket through the candidate application login. Multiple papers should be scanned into a single PDF. Emails or other modes will not be entertained, and tickets received after 1:00 PM on 28 September will not be considered. For most applicants, that leaves the morning of 28 September as the last practical window to check their row and file a ticket if anything is wrong.
Who is on the list
The provisional merit list carries 226 names. It opens at NEET rank 1591 with a score of 608 and closes at rank 18228 with a score of 271. Ninety candidates on the list scored 400 or more. The first 20 names on the list all scored 500 or above. Of the 226, 198 are shown with Andhra Pradesh as local area and 28 as Others.
By category, OC candidates make up the largest group at 123, followed by BC-B (30), BC-D (21), SC (17), BC-A (12), BC-E (9), OBC (8), BC-C (4) and ST (2).
What the columns show
Rows include registration ID, NEET roll number, NEET rank and score, name, gender, category, local area, minority flag, and S1A, S1B, S2 and S3 eligibility columns with remarks, along with NRI and NRI Lapsed columns. Applicants should check each of these against their own documents, since the eligibility flags decide which seat pools they can later be considered for.
Remarks that flag problems
A handful of rows carry remarks against the NRI Lapsed column that point to specific document gaps. Examples in the list include "Not Eligible for NRI Lapsed Seats", "Affidavit not related to candidate name in the application", "Affidavit not signed by the Parent" and notes that the affidavit or notarised affidavit as per prospectus was not uploaded. Candidates who find such a remark against their name and believe they have the correct paper are the ones the grievance window is meant for.
Companion lists
Two companion PDFs were posted the same day. The not eligible list has one name: a candidate with NEET rank 9122 whose internship was completed after the cut-off date of 31 May 2026. A separate list names two candidates who paid the registration fee but did not upload documents. Applicants should open all three files before deciding whether a grievance ticket is needed.
After the grievance window
The university notes that the merit list may still be revised if later verification finds discrepancies or ineligibility. Technical queries may go to the mobile numbers and email printed on the merit PDF (9000780707, 8008250842, ap.uhs.support@aptonline.in).
The merit list notice does not give a date for Management Quota web options. That schedule would come through a separate notification on the university's admission notifications page at drntr.uhsap.in once grievances are settled.
