The window for aspirants seeking admission to MD (Doctor of Medicine) and MS (Master of Surgery) courses in medical colleges across Andhra Pradesh is rapidly closing. The Andhra Pradesh NEET PG Counselling 2025 registration for the Competent Authority Quota is set to conclude tomorrow, September 25, 2025. This is a critical deadline for all NEET PG 2025 qualified candidates aiming for postgraduate medical seats in the state.

The counseling process is being conducted by the Dr. YSR University of Health Sciences (YSRUHS), formerly Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences (NTRUHS), Vijayawada, for the 50% State Quota seats. All eligible aspirants, whether in-service or non-service, must complete their application before the deadline to be considered for the subsequent merit list and seat allotment rounds.

Key Details and Application Process

Candidates must complete their online registration and fee payment on the official website: apuhs-pgadmissions.aptonline.in/pgmedcq. The initial application window, without a late fee, is typically open until 11:00 PM on the last day, so aspirants are strongly advised to complete the process well in advance to avoid last-minute technical difficulties.

Eligibility Snapshot: To be eligible for the state quota seats, candidates must have:

• Successfully qualified for NEET PG 2025 with the minimum prescribed percentile.
• Possess an MBBS Degree from an NMC-recognized institution.
• Completed their one-year compulsory rotatory internship on or before a specified date, which for this admission year is generally July 31, 2025.
• Meet the local status or non-local status requirements for the Competent Authority Quota seats as per state rules.

Registration Fee: The registration and processing fee is non-refundable and varies based on the candidate’s category and the location where they completed their MBBS. For candidates who completed their MBBS within Andhra Pradesh, the fee is generally ₹7,080 for OC/BC and ₹5,900 for SC/ST. Candidates from outside the state or outside India have an additional verification fee.

In-Service Quota and Eligibility

A significant point for government doctors is the eligibility for the In-service Quota seats. For the AP NEET PG Counselling 2025, the government has reserved seats, typically 15% for seven clinical departments and 30% for nine non-clinical departments.

Crucially, as per the notification, the "Service rendered up to April 16, 2025, shall be considered for the candidates under the in-service quota seats." This cut-off date is vital for in-service candidates to determine their eligibility and duration of service for the quota. Furthermore, service candidates should not have completed 50 years as on this cut-off date.

Documents and Subsequent Steps

The online application process requires the uploading of scanned copies of several essential documents, including the NEET PG 2025 Scorecard, MBBS Degree Certificate, Internship Completion Certificate, Provisional/Permanent Registration Certificate issued by MCI/SMC, Aadhar Card, and relevant Caste/Category Certificates (if applicable). It is mandatory for candidates to ensure their documents are valid, authentic, and in the specified format.

Once the registration window closes, the university will publish a Provisional Merit List, followed by a Final Merit List. Candidates whose names appear on the final list will proceed to the next stages of counselling, which include Document Verification, Choice Filling and Locking, and ultimately, Seat Allotment.

Aspirants are advised to regularly check the official website and follow Only Education News for regular updates on merit lists, counseling schedules, and seat allotment results. Missing a deadline at any stage can lead to the cancellation of candidature for MD/MS admissions.
