What Is the Telangana NEET PG Merit List?

The Telangana NEET PG merit list is a ranked list, prepared by KNRUHS, of candidates who registered for state quota counselling and qualified NEET PG. It reflects each candidate’s state merit rank, which is used – alongside seat availability, reservation category, and choices filled – to allot MD/MS/PG Diploma seats in government and private medical colleges across Telangana. The list is released in provisional form first, followed by a final version after document verification and grievance redressal.

Telangana NEET PG Merit List: Key Points

• The merit list is prepared strictly on the basis of NEET PG score and rank, combined with reservation category and local/non-local status.
• It is released separately for CQ and MQ seats, and further broken down round-wise (Round 1, Round 2, Mop-Up).
• The list includes the candidate’s name, roll number, category, local status, NEET PG score, All India Rank (AIR), and state rank.
• A provisional list is published first; only after document verification and grievance resolution is the final list issued.
• Being featured in the provisional list does not guarantee a seat — it only confirms eligibility to proceed to document verification and choice filling.
