Summary
NEET UG 2026 qualification and the eligibility conditions in the 2026-27 CQ prospectus are required. The prospectus distinguishes local, non-local and AP-unreserved eligibility; check the applicable clause and upload the required residence/study evidence.
Domicile Rule
The 2026-27 CQ prospectus applies Andhra Pradesh local-area and non-local rules and separately identifies AU, SVU and state-wide institutions. Do not reduce these rules to a single study-duration shortcut; use the prospectus clause applicable to the candidate and college.

Key Points to Remember
- The 2026-27 CQ prospectus covers government seats after the AIQ contribution, specified general-category seats in permitted government colleges, Category A seats in private medical/dental colleges, and 126 MBBS seats at Sri Padmavathi Medical College for Women under SVIMS.
- AU, SVU, state-wide, minority, local and unreserved scopes are source-specific; use the applicable 2026-27 seat matrix rather than a statewide seat total.
- The prospectus says 2026-27 tuition will be decided by the Government of Andhra Pradesh subject to the cited court proceedings. Its reproduced 2025-26 table is not a final 2026-27 fee order.
- The reproduced 2025-26 fee table lists annual Category A MBBS fees of Rs.15,000 in government colleges and Rs.16,500 in private unaided colleges, and BDS Category A fees of Rs.9,000 in government colleges and Rs.14,300 in private unaided colleges; confirm the current order before payment.
- Top colleges: Andhra Medical College Visakhapatnam, Guntur Medical College, Kurnool Medical College, Rangaraya Medical College Kakinada
