AP NEET 2026 Counselling
NTRUHS & College Predictor
Everything Andhra Pradesh students need for MBBS admission — how NTRUHS counselling works, the full college and seat list, and a predictor built on the 2026 Provisional Merit List.
Two routes to a medical seat
After NEET-UG results, seats are filled through two separate processes. AP students can and should participate in both.
All India Quota (AIQ)
By the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC). Covers 15% of government seats nationwide, plus AIIMS, JIPMER, central & deemed universities, ESIC and AFMC. No domicile restriction — open to every NEET-qualified candidate.
AP State Quota
By Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences, Vijayawada. Covers 85% of seats in AP government and private colleges, for candidates meeting AP local / domicile rules, ranked on NEET All India Rank.

Open Merit List Explorer →AP MBBS College Predictor 2026
Expected Competent Authority Quota closing zones, modelled on the AP Provisional Merit List 2026 . Pick your local region — we show your 85% local seats and the statewide 15% unreserved seats you can also compete for.
Every AP local candidate competes in two pools : the 85% local quota of your own region, and the statewide 15% AP Unreserved (APUR) pool. Through APUR an AU student can win a seat in an SVU college and vice versa — so both are shown below. APUR zones sit higher because the whole state competes for them.
Private A-Category / CQ — expected closing zones
Overall most-likely final closing zones for Private Category-A seats under the Competent Authority Quota, by region. These are region-wide summary bands — individual colleges vary, so use the predictor above for college-level detail.
| Category | AU Region | SVU Region |
|---|---|---|
| OC / Open | 501–504 | 485–488 |
| BC-A | 474–477 | 459–462 |
| BC-B | 465–468 | 455–458 |
| BC-C | 474–477 | 437–440 |
| BC-D | 496–499 | 456–459 |
| BC-E | 428–431 | 470–473 |
| SC-1 | 353–356 | No stable cut-off |
| SC-2 | 430–433 | 416–419 |
| SC-3 | 449–452 | 447–450 |
| ST | 413–416 | 412–415 |
| EWS | — | — |
| Muslim Minority |
409–412

460–463
Fathima |
SC-1 has a very small roster share, so college-level closing marks are irregular; in the SVU region it has no stable conventional cut-off in the current provisional list. EWS is not separately modelled for Private A-Category.
