- The deadline for exercising web options is September 14, 2026, at 01:00 PM.

The Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS) has officially issued a notification regarding the closure of the second phase of web-based counseling for MBBS admissions for the academic year 2026-27. This crucial step is part of the ongoing admission process for Government, Private Unaided Non-Minority, and Minority Medical Colleges across the state of Telangana.
In a significant development, the university has announced an increase in seat capacity for certain institutions under the Competent Authority Quota (CQ). SVS Medical College, Mahabubnagar has seen its intake capacity rise from 200 to 250 seats, while the Mahavir Institute of Medical Sciences, Vikarabad has also expanded from 200 to 250 seats. These additional seats are available for various categories including EWS, PWD, PMC, and CAP.
Why This Matters
BozokMedia analysis shows that the increase in seat capacity provides a vital lifeline for students who narrowly missed out during the first round of counseling. The availability of 1,733 vacant seats across various sub-categories suggests a highly dynamic counseling environment where 'sliding' can significantly impact seat distribution.
Strategic selection of college options is the most critical factor in securing a medical seat during sliding rounds.
Candidates are cautioned about the strict 'seat blocking' policy. If a candidate is allotted a seat based on their web options but fails to join the allotted college, they will be disqualified from participating in any subsequent rounds of counseling. This measure is designed to ensure that medical seats do not remain vacant due to indecision.
Key Vacant Seats Overview
| College Name | Total Vacant Seats |
|---|---|
| Osmania Medical College, Hyderabad | 47 |
| Gandhi Medical College, Secunderabad | 18 |
| Kakatiya Medical College, Warangal | 50 |
| Government Medical College, Siddipet | 51 |
| Government Medical College, Wanaparthy | 57 |
Regarding finances, allotted candidates are required to pay a University fee of Rs 12,000/- via the online payment gateway. It is important to note that candidates who have already paid this fee during the first phase of counseling are exempt from paying it again.
