The path to postgraduate medical specialization in Andhra Pradesh (AP) has entered a crucial phase, with the Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences (NTRUHS) formally commencing the online application process for PG Medical admissions 2025 under the Management Quota (MQ). This vital stream allocates seats (MD, MS, and PG Diploma) in Private Un-Aided Non-Minority and Minority Medical Colleges across the state.

​The most urgent update for all aspirants is the rapidly approaching deadline: the online application submission without a late fee closes sharply at 3:00 PM on November 23, 2025. Only candidates who have successfully qualified for the NEET-PG 2025 examination, securing the minimum qualifying percentile set by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS), are eligible to apply. This process is the gateway for non-local candidates, NRI, and Institutional Quota aspirants seeking coveted specializations like Radiology, Dermatology, and General Medicine in Andhra Pradesh.

​Understanding the Management Quota (MQ) Seat Allocation

​The Management Quota (MQ) for PG Medical seats in Andhra Pradesh is complex, divided into distinct sub-categories that dictate eligibility, fee structure, and the level of inter-state competition. NTRUHS has classified these seats meticulously in its official prospectus.

• ​NEET-PG 2025 Qualification is Mandatory: Regardless of the quota category, all applicants must meet the minimum NEET-PG qualifying percentile (50th for General/EWS, 40th for SC/ST/OBC, etc.) as set by the NBEMS.
• ​Quota Segmentation (Management Quota Seats): The MQ seats are typically divided into three main sub-categories: 
  • ​Category B (S1) - 25%: These seats are filled based on NEET-PG merit. This category is further bifurcated: 
    • ​S1A (15%): Open to candidates from all over the country (All India Management Quota).
    • ​S1B (85%): Reserved exclusively for local candidates of Andhra Pradesh (AU/SVU regions).
  • ​Category C (S2) - NRI Quota (15%): Reserved for Foreign Students, Non-Resident Indians (NRI), or candidates sponsored by NRIs. This often requires additional specific documentation and a substantially higher fee.
  • ​Category C (S3) - Institutional Quota (10%): Seats reserved for candidates with a direct link to the college management, often institutional MBBS graduates or employees/dependents of the institution.
• ​The Application Deadline: The final date to submit the online form without incurring a late fee is 3:00 PM today, November 23, 2025. A late fee window (with a substantial penalty of ₹10,000) will be available from November 24, 2025, up to November 26, 2025 (11:00 AM). Aspirants should utilize the initial window to save costs and avoid last-minute stress.

​The Multi-Stage Application and Counselling Process

​The NTRUHS admission process for the Management Quota involves a precise sequence of steps, all conducted online via the official NTRUHS admissions portal. Adherence to the prescribed format for document submission is crucial for validation.

• ​Online Registration and Fee Payment: Candidates must first register using their NEET-PG Roll Number and Date of Birth. Following registration, they must pay the prescribed application fee online.
• ​Document Uploading and Verification: This is the most critical stage. Candidates must upload clear, scanned copies of all essential documents, including: 
  • ​NEET-PG 2025 Scorecard.
  • ​MBBS Degree/Provisional Pass Certificate and all Mark Sheets.
  • ​Internship Completion Certificate (must be completed by the official cut-off date, typically July 31, 2025).
  • ​Permanent/Provisional Medical Council Registration (NMC/SMC).
  • ​Specific documents for S2 (NRI) and S3 (Institutional) categories.
• ​Merit List Publication: NTRUHS will publish a provisional merit list based on the verified applications and NEET-PG scores. Candidates will have a window to raise grievances before the final merit list is released.
• ​Web Options (Counselling): Successful candidates in the final merit list will be notified to participate in the web-option entry phase. During this phase, candidates select their preferred college and specialization (MD/MS) in descending order of priority.

​Post-Allotment and Final Admission Confirmation

​Securing a seat in the Management Quota requires not only meeting the merit criteria but also being financially prepared for the high fee structure and acting promptly after the allotment results are published.

• ​Allotment and University Fee Payment: Once a seat is provisionally allotted (after the choice filling and seat processing rounds), the candidate must log in to the NTRUHS portal and pay a mandatory University fee (typically around ₹49,600/-) to download the final allotment order.
• ​Physical Reporting: Candidates must physically report to the allotted private medical college by the date specified in the allotment order. This involves paying the college tuition fee and submitting all original documents for physical verification by the college authorities.
• ​The NRI and Institutional Quota Stakes (S2 & S3): Aspirants applying under the S2 and S3 categories must ensure their specific sponsorship, relationship, or institutional preference documents are flawless. Errors in this documentation are the most common cause of rejection in these high-fee categories.
• ​Forfeiture Risk: Candidates who fail to report to the allotted college by the final joining date, or those whose documents fail verification, risk forfeiture of the seat and any caution/security deposit paid, making timely compliance essential.

​Conclusion

​The initiation of the NTRUHS PG Medical Management Quota admissions marks a crucial step for NEET-PG qualified aspirants aiming for postgraduate medical education in Andhra Pradesh. With the deadline for fee-free application closing today, November 23, 2025, candidates must act with immediate precision.
