The newly released list is significant for candidates tracking seat movement and preparing for the next phase of counselling. It provides details of candidates who did not join their Phase 1 allotments and therefore clarifies their status ahead of Phase 2 web options and seat allotment.
The development follows other recent AP MBBS counselling updates, including the publication of the Phase 1 allotment results and a separate notification concerning the Free Exit facility for candidates who joined their allotted seats.
AP MBBS 2026: 90 Candidates Did Not Report After Phase 1
According to the latest notification, NTRUHS has identified 90 candidates who did not report to the colleges where they were allotted MBBS seats during Phase 1 counselling.
The list has been released for admission to MBBS courses under the Competent Authority Quota (CQ) for the 2026-27 academic session.
The candidates included in the list were allotted seats during the first phase but did not complete the required reporting/joining process at the concerned institutions.
The list contains candidates from different categories and local areas, demonstrating that the non-reporting candidates are spread across various sections of the AP counselling merit pool.

The published list records the candidates who failed to report after their Phase 1 allotment and provides details that can help candidates understand the status of those allotments.
What Information is Included in the AP MBBS 2026 List?
The university's list contains several important details for each of the 90 candidates.
The information includes:
- Serial number
- Registration number
- NEET UG roll number
- NEET All India Rank
- NEET score
- Candidate's name
- Gender
- Category
- Local area/zone
- College code of the allotted seat that was not joined
The categories represented in the list include OC, BCA, BCB, BCD, BCE, SC1, SC2, SC3 and ST. The local-area information includes AU, SVU and APNL classifications.
NEET Rank Range of the 90 Candidates
The rank range among the candidates identified as not having reported is quite broad.
According to the published list, the highest NEET rank among these candidates is 893, while the lowest rank extends to 9,97,144.
This indicates that non-reporting is not restricted to candidates at a particular point in the merit list. Candidates across different ranks and categories have been included in the Phase 1 non-reported list.
Why is the AP MBBS Not-Reported List Important?
The publication of a non-reported candidate list is important in a multi-round counselling process because the status of seats allotted during an earlier phase can influence subsequent seat movement.
When candidates do not report to an allotted college within the prescribed requirements, those candidates are treated differently from students who have completed their admission formalities.
For students participating in the next counselling phase, the list provides an indication of candidates who did not join their allotted Phase 1 seats.
However, candidates should not automatically assume that every non-reported seat will become available to every candidate in Phase 2. Seat availability continues to depend on the official seat matrix, category, local area, merit position, choices submitted and the counselling rules notified by NTRUHS.
What Can the 90 Not-Reported Candidates Do in Phase 2?
A particularly important provision concerns candidates who were allotted a seat in Phase 1 but did not report to the allotted college.
According to the counselling rules referenced by NTRUHS, such candidates are eligible to exercise Web Options during Phase 2 for other colleges, but they cannot select the specific college that they had earlier chosen not to join.
This means candidates on the non-reported list should carefully review their Phase 2 choices before submitting their preferences.
They should not assume that the same college from which they did not join in Phase 1 can simply be selected again in the next phase.
Phase 2 Web Options: Candidates Need to Be Careful
Candidates eligible to participate in Phase 2 should pay close attention to the web-options process.
Before submitting choices, candidates should:
1. Check their Phase 1 status carefully.
2. Confirm whether they are included in the not-reported list.
3. Review the Phase 2 seat matrix.
4. Check college and category-wise availability.
5. Arrange preferred colleges in the correct order.
6. Avoid selecting a college that is restricted under the applicable counselling rule.
7. Lock or submit the choices before the notified deadline.
A mistake in choice filling can affect the subsequent allotment because the system considers the candidate's merit, eligibility, category and submitted preferences.
AP MBBS 2026 Phase 1 Counselling: Previous Updates
The latest development follows a series of important updates issued by NTRUHS during the AP MBBS/BDS counselling process.
The university had earlier released the provisional merit position of candidates for MBBS and BDS admissions under Competent Authority Quota. The provisional list contained 14,310 candidates after verification of uploaded documents.
NTRUHS subsequently released the final merit position, which included 14,548 candidates after considering the applicable verification and grievance process.
The university then issued the notification for Phase 1 MBBS Web Options, allowing eligible candidates to submit their college preferences online.
Following the allotment process, the university has now published the list of candidates who did not report to their Phase 1 allotted seats.
AP MBBS Phase 1 Allotment and Non-Reporting
The Phase 1 allotment process is an important stage in Andhra Pradesh medical counselling because candidates are allotted seats according to their NEET rank, category, local area, eligibility and web-option preferences.
Candidates who receive an allotment generally need to complete the prescribed reporting and admission formalities within the specified timeline.
Those who do not report are subsequently identified in the university's non-reported list.
The newly released list therefore provides an official record of the candidates who did not join their respective Phase 1 allotments.
Difference Between Joined and Not-Reported Candidates
Candidates should understand the difference between these two situations.
Joined Candidate
A candidate who accepts the allotted seat and completes the required reporting/admission formalities is treated as a joined candidate, subject to the counselling rules.
Not-Reported Candidate
A candidate who receives an allotment but does not report to the allotted college within the required period is included in the relevant non-reported list.
The consequences for subsequent counselling participation can differ between the two categories.
Therefore, candidates should not assume that a non-reported candidate has the same options as a candidate who has formally joined and is participating in subsequent counselling through an upgrade or other applicable mechanism.
What Should Candidates on the List Do Now?
Candidates whose names appear in the list should carefully check all details against their counselling records.
They should verify:
- Registration number
- NEET roll number
- NEET rank
- NEET score
- Name
- Category
- Local area
- Previously allotted college
If any discrepancy is noticed, candidates should follow the grievance or correction procedure prescribed by NTRUHS, if such a facility is provided.
Candidates should also closely monitor the official notification for Phase 2 web options, as the next stage will determine how and when eligible candidates can submit their fresh choices.
Candidates Should Not Assume That Non-Reported Seats Are Automatically Vacant
One of the most important points for students following this development is that the list of 90 non-reported candidates should not be interpreted as a direct list of 90 seats that are automatically available to all candidates.
The actual number and category-wise availability of seats for Phase 2 will depend on the official seat matrix released by NTRUHS.
Seat movement can also occur because of resignations, upgrades, category-related movement, non-joining candidates and other counselling rules.
Therefore, candidates should use the official Phase 2 seat matrix as the final reference when preparing their choices.
AP MBBS 2026: What Other Candidates Should Know
Candidates who are waiting for Phase 2 should use the latest development as an opportunity to reassess their choices.
Students should particularly review:
• Their NEET rank
• AP state merit position
• Category and local area
• Available MBBS seats
• College-wise seat matrix
• Previous allotment trends
• Their preferred government/private colleges
• Rules applicable to candidates who did not join in Phase 1
The presence of non-reported candidates may lead to changes in seat availability, but the extent of such movement can only be established once the authority publishes the applicable Phase 2 seat matrix and allotment information.
AP MBBS 2026 Phase 1: Important Takeaways
The release of the 90-candidate non-reported list is another significant development in Andhra Pradesh MBBS counselling 2026.
The key points are:
• NTRUHS has released the list of 90 candidates who did not report after Phase 1 MBBS allotment.
• The list relates to MBBS admissions under the Competent Authority Quota for 2026-27.
• The candidates belong to different categories and local areas.
• Their NEET ranks range from 893 to 9,97,144.
• The list contains NEET rank, score, candidate details, category, local area and allotted college information.
• Candidates who did not report to their Phase 1 allotted college can participate in Phase 2 Web Options under the applicable rules.
• Such candidates cannot choose the particular college they had earlier declined/not joined, according to the stated counselling provision.
• Other candidates should wait for and refer to the official Phase 2 seat matrix rather than treating all non-reported seats as immediately available.
AP MBBS Counselling 2026: Final Advice for Candidates
The release of the Phase 1 non-reported list gives candidates another important indication of how the AP MBBS 2026 counselling process is progressing toward Phase 2.
Candidates named in the list should carefully understand the restrictions applicable to their next choice-filling opportunity. At the same time, candidates awaiting Phase 2 should not make assumptions about vacant seats based solely on the number of non-reported candidates.
The official Phase 2 seat matrix, web-options notification and allotment result issued by NTRUHS will remain the decisive documents for determining available seats and subsequent admissions.
Candidates should therefore regularly monitor the official counselling portal, keep their login credentials accessible and complete every required step within the deadlines announced by the university.
