Who can apply for the Telangana state quota at Kakatiya Medical College?

The 220 state quota seats are only for "local" Telangana candidates. A local candidate has studied in Telangana for four consecutive academic years ending with the Class 12 exam year. A candidate who did not attend school can qualify by living in Telangana for four years before the exam and sitting the exam in Telangana. The prospectus allows some students who studied outside Telangana. These include children of Telangana government employees and of Telangana cadre IAS, IPS and IFS officers. Children of defence or central armed police personnel with a Telangana home town also qualify. In each case the parent must have served outside the state during those years.

Who cannot apply for the Kakatiya Medical College state quota?

The KNRUHS prospectus states that candidates domiciled in other states are not eligible for state quota seats. A student from Maharashtra or Karnataka can only reach Kakatiya Medical College through the 30 All India Quota seats. Those seats are open to every NEET-qualified Indian student, as set out in the MCC UG counselling 2026 information bulletin .

The last 50 were added for EWS (Economically Weaker Sections) reservation. The NMC entry records annual renewal for 250 seats for 2024 to 2025 and 2025 to 2026, and the 2026 counselling seat matrices again total 250.

How Does Admission to Kakatiya Medical College Warangal Work in 2026?

There is no direct admission and no management quota at Kakatiya Medical College. Every seat is allotted by NEET UG rank through one of two counselling routes. Read our NEET counselling guide for how the national process works.

Route 1: MCC All India Quota counselling

Register on the MCC UG counselling website and pay the fee.
Fill and lock choices, listing Kakatiya Medical College, Warangal, in your order of preference.
Check the seat allotment result for each round.
Report to the college with original documents within the reporting dates.
Choose Freeze (keep the seat and leave counselling) or Float (keep the seat and try for a better one in the next round).

For 2026, the MCC schedule for Rounds 2, 3 and 4 set Round 3 reporting from 1 to 9 October 2026. MCC posted the provisional Round 3 result on 30 September 2026. Our MCC Round 3 guide covers the rules for that round. A stray vacancy round follows; see the NEET UG 2026 stray vacancy round.

Route 2: KNRUHS Telangana state quota counselling

Step in 2026	Date	What happens
Online registration	5 to 12 August 2026	Apply and upload certificates on the KNRUHS admissions portal
Final merit list	28 August 2026	KNRUHS publishes the state merit list by NEET rank
Phase 1 web options	29 August to 1 September 2026	Candidates list colleges in order of preference
Phase 2 web options	11 to 14 September 2026	Vacant seats offered, as per the phase 2 notification
Phase 2 allotment	15 September 2026	KNRUHS publishes the college-wise allotment list

Two KNRUHS rules catch families out. A candidate who skipped web options in phase 1 cannot take part in phase 2. A candidate who is allotted a seat and does not report loses the right to use web options in later phases. New notices appear on the KNRUHS admission notifications page.

What Are the MBBS Fees at Kakatiya Medical College Warangal?

MBBS fees at Kakatiya Medical College Warangal are low because the Telangana government runs the college. The college fee structure for 2026 to 2027 sets these amounts.

Fee item	Amount (Rs.)	Who pays and how
College fee, OC and BC students	29,000	At admission, by demand draft to "Principal, KMC, Hanumakonda"
College fee, SC and ST students	27,000	At admission, by demand draft to "Principal, KMC, Hanumakonda"

The KNRUHS prospectus requires the university fee before the allotment order can be downloaded.

What Is the NEET Cutoff for Kakatiya Medical College Warangal?

The NEET cutoff for Kakatiya Medical College Warangal is the rank of the last student given a seat. It differs by quota and category. The tables below are built from the official allotment lists. Our NEET cutoffs page explains how closing ranks work.

Kakatiya Medical College All India Quota closing ranks (MCC)

These are the highest NEET ranks given a Kakatiya Medical College All India Quota seat, leaving out seats for candidates with a disability. Sources are the MCC 2025 Round 1 result, the MCC 2026 Round 1 result and the MCC 2026 Round 2 result.

Category	2025 Round 1	2026 Round 1	2026 Round 2

An All India Quota Open seat here has gone to students inside roughly the top 9,000 to 16,000 ranks in India.

Kakatiya Medical College Telangana state quota closing ranks (KNRUHS)

These figures come from the KNRUHS allotment list after the second phase of 2026. They show the highest NEET UG 2026 rank allotted in each category, leaving out special categories such as disability and armed forces quotas. Marks are taken from the KNRUHS final merit list.
