​The admission process for Post Graduate Medical Degree and Diploma courses in Telangana has witnessed a significant, albeit brief, opportunity for aspirants. The Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS), Warangal, has re-opened its online registration for NEET PG 2025 qualified candidates vying for seats under the Management Quota (MQ). This late-stage window was activated primarily to incorporate a major policy change by the State Government.

​The initial registration period concluded earlier, but the recent notification provided a final chance for eligible candidates who had not previously registered to submit their applications. The window was extremely short, spanning just over 24 hours, from 6:00 AM on November 12, 2025, to 5:00 PM on November 13, 2025. Candidates needed to visit the official portal, pvttspgmed.tsche.in, to register and upload their certificates for the subsequent merit list declaration and web option rounds.

• ​Re-opening Date: November 12, 2025 (6:00 AM)
• ​Closing Date: November 13, 2025 (5:00 PM)
• ​Quotas Covered: Management Quota (MQ1, MQ2/NRI, and MQ3/Institutional Quota) seats in Private Un-Aided Non-Minority and Minority Medical Colleges affiliated with KNRUHS.
• ​Goal of Re-opening: To enable registration in light of the new government order regarding local reservation in MQ seats.

​A. New Reservation Policy: 85% MQ1 Seats for Locals

​The primary catalyst for the re-opening of the KNRUHS PG Medical Management Quota registration was a landmark decision by the Telangana Government. This new policy directly impacts the distribution of seats under the Management Quota-1 (MQ1), which previously had a higher proportion of seats open to candidates from all over India.

• ​Local Reservation Mandate: The Telangana Government issued G.O.Ms.Nos. 200 & 201, dated November 3, 2025, mandating the reservation of 85% of Management Quota-1 (MQ1) seats for local candidates of Telangana State.
• ​All India Availability: Only 15% of the MQ1 seats in Private Non-Minority and Minority Medical Colleges will remain open to candidates from all over the country.
• ​Beneficiaries: This significant move is aimed at ensuring that local medical aspirants benefit substantially from the PG training opportunities available in the state's private medical colleges, bolstering the local medical workforce.
• ​Impact on Counselling: The merit list and subsequent web option rounds will strictly adhere to this new 85:15 ratio, making the competition for the remaining 15% open quota seats extremely high for non-local candidates.

​B.  Eligibility Criteria and NEET PG Cut-Offs

​All candidates who successfully registered, including those in this final short window, must meet the minimum eligibility criteria and have secured the mandated cut-off scores in the NEET PG 2025 examination. The registration is purely for merit determination, followed by verification of uploaded certificates.

• ​Mandatory NEET PG Qualification: Candidates must have qualified in NEET PG 2025 by securing marks equal to or above the minimum percentile stipulated by the National Board of Examinations (NBEMS).
• ​NEET PG 2025 Cut-Off Scores:
  • ​General/EWS: 50th percentile (Cut-off Score: 276)
  • ​General PWD: 45th percentile (Cut-off Score: 255)
  • ​SC/ST/OBC (Including PWD): 40th percentile (Cut-off Score: 235)
• ​Internship Completion: Aspirants must have successfully completed their compulsory rotating internship by July 31, 2025.
• ​MBBS Degree: The candidate must hold an MBBS Degree from an institution recognized by the National Medical Commission (NMC). Foreign medical graduates must hold a permanent registration certificate from the Telangana State Medical Council (TSMC).

​C. Management Quota Fee Structure and Payment Details

​The Management Quota (MQ) seats, encompassing MQ1, MQ2 (NRI), and MQ3 (Institutional Quota), are characterised by a non-subsidised fee structure, which can vary significantly based on the specialty (Clinical, Para-Clinical, Pre-Clinical).

• ​Fee Regulation: The tuition fee for PG Medical courses in private unaided non-minority/minority medical colleges is fixed by the Telangana Admission and Fee Regulatory Committee (TAFRC) for the block period 2023-2026.
• ​Indicative Annual Fees (Management Quota):
  • ​Clinical Branches: Fees are substantially high, typically ranging from ₹23 Lakhs to over ₹72 Lakhs per annum, with the highest fees reserved for NRI/MQ2 seats.
  • ​Para-Clinical Branches: Fees are significantly lower, ranging from approximately ₹5.3 Lakhs to ₹7.5 Lakhs per annum.
  • ​Pre-Clinical Branches: The lowest fees, generally falling between ₹1.7 Lakhs and ₹2.16 Lakhs per annum.
• ​University Fee: All allotted candidates, regardless of the college/quota, must pay a mandatory University Fee of ₹49,600 online via the payment gateway upon receiving the allotment letter.
• ​Stipend: Institutions are directed to pay a stipend to PG students on par with the government institutions, as per NMC regulations.

​Conclusion

​The re-opening of the KNRUHS PG Medical Management Quota registration, driven by the new 85% local reservation policy for MQ1 seats, marked a critical few hours for NEET PG 2025 qualified aspirants. While the registration window has now closed (as of 5:00 PM, November 13, 2025), the focus now shifts to the preparation of the final merit list and the subsequent web option filling schedule. The policy change necessitates a strategic revision of college preferences, especially for non-local candidates vying for the limited 15% open MQ1 seats in Telangana.
