What Changed?

KNRUHS has added three candidates to the operative MBBS/BDS Competent Authority Quota merit list.

The official addendum contains:

These are not merely typographical corrections.

They are new merit-list insertions and must be treated as part of the current counselling merit pool.

Category-Wise Impact

The addendum affects three separate category positions:

• OC — 1 candidate
• SC3 — 1 candidate
• BC-D — 1 candidate

This means category-wise closing positions and inter-se merit order can shift slightly wherever these candidates enter the allocation sequence.

The impact is numerically small at State level, but can still matter in a tightly contested:

College × Category × Phase

combination.

Merit-Rank Interpretation

OC Candidate

AIR 94,753

This candidate enters the merit list at serial:

1236/A

The /A notation indicates an inserted/additional position without renumbering the entire existing merit list.

SC3 Candidate

AIR 1,17,195

Inserted at:

1712/A

This candidate can affect the operative SC3 sequence during allotment.

BC-D Candidate

AIR 3,10,339

Inserted at:

9227/A

This candidate must now be included when analysing BC-D merit order and later category-specific allocation.

Important HGE Data Rule

Do not replace the entire Telangana final merit list with only this three-row PDF.

Instead:

1. Keep the existing final merit list.
2. Append these three candidates.
3. Preserve their special inserted serial numbers:

• 1236/A
• 1712/A
• 9227/A

1. Mark source type as:

Merit List Addendum

1. Mark reason:

As per Court Orders

1. Recalculate operative merit ordering where required.

This prevents duplicate or missing candidates in later cutoff/result analysis.

Does This Change the Phase-1 Deadline?

No separate extension has been published in this addendum.

The current KNRUHS MBBS Phase-1 web-options schedule continues to show:

1 September 2026 — 12:00 Noon

Candidates should therefore not assume that publication of the merit-list addendum extends the web-options window.

What Affected Candidates Should Do

Candidates newly included through this addendum should:

1. Verify their details in the official PDF.
2. Confirm their category.
3. Login to the KNRUHS counselling portal.
4. Check whether Phase-1 web-option access is active.
5. Exercise all acceptable eligible MBBS choices.
6. Arrange colleges in genuine preference order.
7. Complete the process before 1 September at 12 Noon.

What Existing Candidates Should Know

For most existing candidates, this three-candidate addendum will not radically change admission chances.

However, exact category merit positions can move slightly.

For cutoff and allotment analysis, HGE should therefore use:

Final Merit List + NCC Corrigendum + 31 August Merit-List Addendum

rather than the 28 August final merit list alone.

Hire Guide Education Advice

Telangana candidates should use only the latest operative merit position.

For Phase-1 analysis, the correct hierarchy is now:

Final Merit List → NCC Corrigendum → 31 August Addendum

Candidates newly included by the court-order addendum should verify portal access and complete eligible choices before the currently notified Phase-1 deadline.
