NTRUHS Extends Deadline for NRI Quota Document Submission for MBBS/BDS 2025

The Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences (NTRUHS) in Vijayawada has granted a crucial extension to medical aspirants seeking admission to MBBS and BDS courses under the Non-Resident Indian (NRI) Quota for the 2025-26 academic year. This move provides additional time for candidates in Andhra Pradesh to submit the necessary documentation, ensuring they meet the eligibility requirements for the highly competitive Category 'C' seats.

Key Details of the Extension

As per the latest notification from NTRUHS, the deadline for uploading valid and relevant documents—as specified in the prospectus—has been extended until 4:00 PM on October 20, 2025.

This extension is specifically aimed at candidates who meet two conditions:

1. They are listed in the Final Merit List of Management Quota (Category-B1 /B2).
2. They also wish to apply for Category-C (NRI) seats following Phase-II of the counselling process.

Aspirants who are utilizing this extension window must submit a late fee of ₹5,900/-, which includes an 18% Goods and Services Tax (GST). The university has confirmed that while the submission deadline is extended, all other terms and conditions outlined in the previously released notifications remain unchanged.

Scope of the NRI Quota Admissions

The NRI Quota, or Category 'C' seats, covers admissions across several institutions affiliated with NTRUHS, including:

• New Government Medical Colleges that received permission for admissions starting from the 2023-24 academic year onwards.
• Private Un-aided Non-Minority and Minority Medical Colleges and Dental Colleges affiliated with Dr. NTRUHS.
• Sri Padmavathi Medical College for Women (operating under SVIMS), Tirupati.

The importance of the NRI quota is underscored by the overall increase in MBBS seats within the state. NTRUHS has been actively integrating newly sanctioned seats into the counselling matrix. For example, recent additions permitted by the National Medical Commission (NMC) include:

• Gayathri Vidhya Parishad Institute of Health Care & Medical Technology, Visakhapatnam: Added 200 MBBS seats in total, with 100 seats allocated to the Competent Authority (Convener) Quota.
• Government Medical College, Ongole: Increased its capacity by 30 seats (from 120 to 150) after Phase-I Counselling.
• Anna Gowri Medical College & Hospital: A new college with 100 MBBS seats permitted after Phase-I Counselling.
• Santhiram Medical College, Nandyala: Enhanced its capacity by 50 seats (from 150 to 200) after Phase-I Counselling.

Aspirants for medical and dental courses should utilize this brief extension to finalize their documentation for NRI quota application.
