WARANGAL: Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences has cancelled the MBBS seats allotted conditionally to nine candidates under the Scheduled Tribe category and placed 37 aspirants outside ST reservation for Competent Authority Quota admissions in 2026-27. The notice is dated 26 September and follows a communication from the Director, Tribal Welfare, Telangana, Hyderabad (Rc.No.1298/TRI/TSV/2026, dated 22 September 2026).
The university says the further list names 37 candidates who are not eligible to claim ST reservation benefits of Telangana State for MBBS and BDS admissions. Those candidates will not be considered under ST for CQ counselling and will be treated under the Open category, subject to their overall eligibility and merit. The Tribal Welfare letter is attached to the notice.
The list gives each candidate's NEET UG roll number, rank, name and gender. Of the 37, 28 are listed as female and nine as male. Their NEET UG ranks are spread widely, from under one lakh to more than ten lakh.
Nine seats cancelled from Phase 1 and 2
Of the 37, nine had already been allotted MBBS seats conditionally under the ST category in the First and Second Phases, in line with the Tribal Welfare Director's orders of 3 September. Four were allotted in Phase 1 and five in Phase 2, with NEET UG ranks between roughly 82,000 and 2.55 lakh. Their colleges include Government Medical College, Vikarabad; RVM Institute of Medical Sciences, Siddipet; ESIC Medical College, Hyderabad; Osmania Medical College, Hyderabad; Raja Rajeshwari Medical College for Girls, Patancheru; NOVA Institute of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad; Government Medical College, Karimnagar; and TRR Institute of Medical Sciences, Patancheru. Osmania Medical College accounts for two of the nine seats, one from each phase. The four Phase 1 seats were at Government Medical College, Vikarabad, RVM Siddipet, ESIC Hyderabad and Osmania. The five Phase 2 seats were at Raja Rajeshwari Patancheru, NOVA Hyderabad, Government Medical College, Karimnagar, Osmania and TRR Patancheru.
The university says that, in view of the 22 September communication, the nine are not eligible for MBBS or BDS admission under the ST category. Those nine allotments stand cancelled. The candidates will be treated as Open category for later phases. The seats so vacated are to be treated as vacant and included in the Third Phase or Mop-Up Phase for allotment to eligible candidates under the ST category as per rules and merit.
What aspirants should check now
The notice continues earlier university communication dated 3 September that also rested on Tribal Welfare advice, and it covers admissions under the Competent Authority Quota only. Candidates on the list, and colleges that admitted them conditionally, are expected to follow the revised status for reporting and later choice rounds. ST candidates waiting for Phase 3 will see these nine MBBS seats return to the pool, since the notice directs that they be filled only by eligible ST candidates.
The notice, signed by the Registrar on 26 September, asks candidates and all concerned to take note. The full list of roll numbers and names appears in the PDF on the university's notifications page, knruhs.telangana.gov.in.
