Eligible NEET UG 2026 candidates can enter their preferred BDS colleges through the official counselling portal.

AP NEET UG BDS Phase 2 Counselling 2026 Key Details

The latest NTRUHS notification confirms that the current round is for BDS Competent Authority Quota admissions for 2026-27. Candidates need to check the official notification carefully for the applicable dates and instructions before locking their choices.

The main details of the AP NEET UG BDS counselling 2026 Phase 2 are given below.

NTRUHS has also published related Phase 1 lists, including candidates who used the free-exit facility and candidates who did not report after allotment. These lists are relevant because Phase 2 participation depends on the candidate's status under the counselling rules.
