Vijaywada, January 29: Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences has released the Round 3 provisional merit lists for Andhra Pradesh NEET PG 2025 admissions under the competent authority quota, following a major policy shift by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS).
The development comes after NBEMS reduced the NEET PG cut-off percentile to zero, significantly expanding eligibility for postgraduate medical aspirants across categories.
Lowest NEET PG Cut-Off Falls to 16 Marks
As per the official notification, the university has shortlisted 352 non-service candidates for the upcoming counselling rounds. In this category, NEET PG scores range from 500 to a record-low 16 marks, highlighting the sharp impact of the revised cut-off norms.
For in-service candidates, doctors currently serving in government institutions, 359 candidates have been declared eligible, with scores ranging between 267 and 37 marks. In addition, 86 in-service candidates have been shortlisted for DNB Post MBBS degree and diploma courses under the competent authority quota.
However, the verification process also led to exclusions. Ten candidates were declared ineligible after document scrutiny, while 26 applicants, despite paying the registration fee, failed to upload mandatory documents and were flagged accordingly.
