MQ1 seats for local candidates. Qualified NEET PG 2025 aspirants who missed the initial deadline must have seized this final opportunity.
The admission process for Post Graduate Medical Degree and Diploma courses in Telangana has witnessed a significant, albeit brief, opportunity for aspirants. The Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS), Warangal, has re-opened its online registration for NEET PG 2025 qualified candidates vying for seats under the Management Quota (MQ). This late-stage window was activated primarily to incorporate a major policy change by the State Government.
The initial registration period concluded earlier, but the recent notification provided a final chance for eligible candidates who had not previously registered to submit their applications. The window was extremely short, spanning just over 24 hours, from 6:00 AM on November 12, 2025, to 5:00 PM on November 13, 2025. Candidates needed to visit the official portal, pvttspgmed.tsche.in, to register and upload their certificates for the subsequent merit list declaration and web option rounds.
- Re-opening Date: November 12, 2025 (6:00 AM)
- Closing Date: November 13, 2025 (5:00 PM)
- Quotas Covered: Management Quota (MQ1, MQ2/NRI, and MQ3/Institutional Quota) seats in Private Un-Aided Non-Minority and Minority Medical Colleges affiliated with KNRUHS.
- Goal of Re-opening: To enable registration in light of the new government order regarding local reservation in MQ seats.
A. New Reservation Policy: 85% MQ1 Seats for Locals
The primary catalyst for the re-opening of the KNRUHS PG Medical Management Quota registration was a landmark decision by the Telangana Government. This new policy directly impacts the distribution of seats under the Management Quota-1 (MQ1), which previously had a higher proportion of seats open to candidates from all over India.
- Local Reservation Mandate: The Telangana Government issued G.O.Ms.Nos. 200 & 201, dated November 3, 2025, mandating the reservation of 85% of Management Quota-1 (MQ1) seats for local candidates of Telangana State.
- All India Availability: Only 15% of the MQ1 seats in Private Non-Minority and Minority Medical Colleges will remain open to candidates from all over the country.
- Beneficiaries: This significant move is aimed at ensuring that local medical aspirants benefit substantially from the PG training opportunities available in the state's private medical colleges, bolstering the local medical workforce.
- Impact on Counselling: The merit list and subsequent web option rounds will strictly adhere to this new 85:15 ratio, making the competition for the remaining 15% open quota seats extremely high for non-local candidates.
B. Eligibility Criteria and NEET PG Cut-Offs
All candidates who successfully registered, including those in this final short window, must meet the minimum eligibility criteria and have secured the mandated cut-off scores in the NEET PG 2025 examination. The registration is purely for merit determination, followed by verification of uploaded certificates.
- Mandatory NEET PG Qualification: Candidates must have qualified in NEET PG 2025 by securing marks equal to or above the minimum percentile stipulated by the National Board of Examinations (NBEMS).
- NEET PG 2025 Cut-Off Scores:

- MBBS Degree: The candidate must hold an MBBS Degree from an institution recognized by the National Medical Commission (NMC). Foreign medical graduates must hold a permanent registration certificate from the Telangana State Medical Council (TSMC).
C. Management Quota Fee Structure and Payment Details
The Management Quota (MQ) seats, encompassing MQ1, MQ2 (NRI), and MQ3 (Institutional Quota), are characterised by a non-subsidised fee structure, which can vary significantly based on the specialty (Clinical, Para-Clinical, Pre-Clinical).
- Fee Regulation: The tuition fee for PG Medical courses in private unaided non-minority/minority medical colleges is fixed by the Telangana Admission and Fee Regulatory Committee (TAFRC) for the block period 2023-2026.
- Indicative Annual Fees (Management Quota):
- Clinical Branches: Fees are substantially high, typically ranging from ₹23 Lakhs to over ₹72 Lakhs per annum, with the highest fees reserved for NRI/MQ2 seats.
- Para-Clinical Branches: Fees are significantly lower, ranging from approximately ₹5.3 Lakhs to ₹7.5 Lakhs per annum.

Conclusion
The re-opening of the KNRUHS PG Medical Management Quota registration, driven by the new 85% local reservation policy for MQ1 seats, marked a critical few hours for NEET PG 2025 qualified aspirants. While the registration window has now closed (as of 5:00 PM, November 13, 2025), the focus now shifts to the preparation of the final merit list and the subsequent web option filling schedule. The policy change necessitates a strategic revision of college preferences, especially for non-local candidates vying for the limited 15% open MQ1 seats in Telangana.
