Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences has ordered Persons with Disability (PwBD) candidates seeking B.Sc Nursing (4-year) and Post Basic Nursing (2-year) seats under Competent Authority Quota for 2026-27 to appear before the university medical board. The board sits at 10:00 am on 6 October 2026 in the Conference Hall, second floor, Silver Jubilee block, on the Vijayawada campus.
The notification dated 3 October 2026 continues earlier notices of 3 September and 9 September 2026. Candidates must bring all original certificates and medical records for the claimed disability, one set of photocopies, and a recent passport-size photograph. Absentees will not be considered under the PwBD quota for this admission cycle under the wording of the notice.
An annexed list names applicants who registered under the PwBD category. Six candidates appear for B.Sc Nursing 4-year, with NEET UG ranks and scores shown beside each name, and one candidate appears for Post Basic B.Sc Nursing 2-year. Disability types listed include locomotor disability and congenital deformities of the spine.
Carry the printed PwBD nursing medical board notice and check your registration ID against the enclosed list before travelling to Vijayawada. If your ID is missing from the annexure, contact the university help channels listed on drntr.uhsap.in before the board date rather than assuming a walk-in will be accepted.
Why the board date matters
PwBD seats in nursing counselling are filled only after the university medical board examines registered candidates. Missing the 6 October sitting closes the PwBD path for this cycle under the notice, even if the candidate remains on a general merit list for other quotas where disability reservation is not claimed.
Reach the Silver Jubilee block early. Campus entry and document queues can delay a 10:00 am call. Keep disability certificates issued by competent authorities, investigation reports and any assistive-device prescriptions in original form. Photocopies alone are not enough under the notice.
This board is separate from management quota nursing applications running on the same university site and from Telangana nursing windows. Aspirants watching neighbouring state timelines can compare Dalimss reporting on KNRUHS B.Sc Nursing CQ registration reopening till 5 October, which does not replace the Andhra PwBD board step.
After the assessment
Eligibility under PwBD for allotment follows the board outcome and the university seat matrix for Competent Authority Quota nursing courses. Candidates found not eligible under PwBD may still compete in other categories if they meet those rules. The notice does not convert a missed board date into a later special sitting.
Watch drntr.uhsap.in for any revised board timing. Until a fresh PDF is posted, treat 10:00 am on 6 October at the Conference Hall as fixed. Families travelling from other districts should plan overnight stay options in Vijayawada in case assessments run into the afternoon.
For national medical disability guidance used in postgraduate medical admissions, Dalimss earlier noted NBEMS adoption of NMC PwBD guidelines for PG medical admissions. Nursing Competent Authority Quota under NTRUHS still follows this university board notice for the listed candidates, so do not assume a different board venue or date from a PG medical circular.
Candidates on the annexure who cannot travel on medical grounds should still document the reason in writing to the Registrar office before 6 October, while understanding that the published notice does not promise an alternate board date.
Keep every official PDF you download, note the date on the notice, and match deadlines to server time on the portal rather than to a phone clock that may drift.

Bring a parent or guardian only if the campus security rules allow escorts into the Silver Jubilee block; otherwise arrange a waiting point outside and keep your phone charged for the call back after assessment.
