Eligibility Note

Special Remarks & Expert Advisory

NEET UG Qualification is Non-Negotiable: Irrespective of the candidate's financial backing, they must secure the minimum qualifying percentile in NEET UG (50th percentile for General NRI, 40th percentile for reserved category NRIs).
Centralized Web Counselling: All Category-C seats in these GMCs are allotted purely through the Dr. YSRUHS web counselling portal based on NEET merit. There is no direct, backdoor, or separate college-level admission process.
No Sliding Down: As per YSRUHS guidelines, a candidate will not be allowed to slide from a Category-B (Self-Financing) seat to a Category-C (NRI) seat, or vice versa, once the allotment process is finalized. Ensure your options are prioritized correctly during web counselling.
