Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences (NTRUHS), Andhra Pradesh has published the complete list of Phase-I Meritorious Reserved Category (MRC) candidates for admission to the MBBS course under Competent Authority Quota (CQ) for the academic year 2026-27.

The university's admission notifications page lists the “MBBS CQ 2026-27 - List of Phase-I_MRC Candidates” among its Phase-I counselling documents.

The published list contains candidate-wise details relating to NEET rank, NEET score, category, local area, Open Category allotment, MRC movement and final allotted seat. The source document identifies the list as being for information regarding candidates who were allotted a seat in the Open Category and later moved to a better option in their respective reservation category as MRC.

What is the MRC List?

The Meritorious Reserved Category (MRC) list covers reserved-category candidates who secured an MBBS seat in the Open Category on the basis of merit and subsequently moved to a better available option in their respective reserved category according to the choices exercised during counselling.

The document includes separate columns showing the initial Open Category seat, the seat to which the candidate moved as MRC, the vacated Open Category seat and the final allotted seat.

NTRUHS has also clarified that not-reported seats, if any, will be filled according to the applicable rules.

Details Included in the NTRUHS MRC Candidate List

The Phase-I list provides important counselling information for each candidate, including:

• Serial Number
• NEET Hall Ticket Number
• NEET Rank
• NEET Score
• Gender
• Candidate Name
• Category
• Local Area
• Seat Allotted in Open Category
• Movement to a Better Reserved-Category Option as MRC
• Vacated Open Category Seat
• Final Allotted Seat

The document begins with candidates such as Rella Mithun Sai Prasad, Somu Thejaswini, P Brunda and M Priyanka, along with their NEET ranks, scores, categories and corresponding seat movements.

How MRC Seat Movement Works

Under the MRC movement reflected in the list, a reserved-category candidate may initially receive an Open Category seat based on merit. If the candidate's subsequent choice and applicable reservation rules result in movement to a better option in the candidate's reserved category, the corresponding seat movement is recorded as MRC.

For example, the list records candidates moving from Open Category seats to reserved-category seats such as BC-A, BC-B, BC-D, BC-E and SC-related categories, depending on the candidate's category and counselling movement.

The document also contains candidates from different university/local areas, including AU, SVU and APNL, as reflected in the candidate records.

Vacated Open Category Seats

The list separately records the vacated Open Category seats associated with MRC movement.

According to the document, such vacated Open Category seats are allotted to the respective category in accordance with G.O.Rt.No.550, Higher Education (EC.2) Department, dated July 30, 2001, and its amendments. Not-reported seats are to be filled according to the applicable rules.

This provides candidates with information about how seat movement is handled after a meritorious reserved-category candidate moves from an Open Category allotment to a reserved-category option.
