Telangana AYUSH Counselling 2026 Choice Filling (Web Options)
Choice filling in Telangana AYUSH Counselling 2026 is called "Web Options" or "Web Counselling" in the KNRUHS system.
- Eligibility to exercise options. Only candidates whose names appear in the provisional/final merit list, published after certificate verification, can exercise web options.
- Notification of schedule. KNRUHS issues a separate notification on its website for the web options schedule; no individual communication is sent to candidates.
- Order of priority. For Management Quota, candidates exercise web options in order of priority, first for MQ1 category, followed by MQ2 category, as per their eligibility.
- Phase-wise participation. Candidates are permitted to exercise web options for each phase of counselling. If a candidate does not join after allotment in a phase, they are not considered for selection in subsequent phases.
- First-phase requirement. If a candidate does not exercise web options in the first phase, they are not considered for selection in subsequent phases either.
- Allotment based on merit and options. The Committee of Admissions allots seats through web-based counselling, considering the web options exercised by the candidate, strictly by merit.
Candidates should carefully rank their course and college preferences during web options, since allotment strictly follows the order given, combined with NEET (UG) merit and category eligibility.
Telangana AYUSH Counselling Rounds
Telangana AYUSH Counselling under Competent Authority Quota generally proceeds through:
- Phase 1: Candidates in the final merit list exercise web options for the first time. Seats are allotted by the Selection Committee based on merit and options. Selected candidates download the allotment letter, report to the college, submit documents and pay fees to complete admission.
- Phase 2: Candidates who did not get a seat, or who did not join in Phase 1, along with any vacant seats, are considered again through fresh web options exercised for this phase.
- Mop-Up Phase: Conducted for filling seats that remain vacant after Phase 1 and Phase 2, with a fresh web options window notified separately.
- Additional Stray Vacancy Phase: The last phase, conducted to fill any seats still vacant after the Mop-Up Phase, again through a fresh web options window and a college-wise allotment list published on the KNRUHS website.
For Management Quota (BHMS), similar phase-wise web options and allotment rounds are conducted, with candidates who don't join after allotment excluded from subsequent phases.
Exit/Resignation Rule: Candidates can withdraw from an allotted course before the notified last date of free exit for Management Quota and AYUSH admissions without penalty. After this date, withdrawal is not permitted, and candidates who discontinue anyway forfeit their tuition fee for that year and must pay the tuition fee for the remaining course duration, plus the Rs. 1,00,000/- discontinuation fee.
