KNRUHS Opens Telangana BDS Stray Vacancy Web Options for 2026-27 Admissions

Understanding the timeline and key parameters is essential for a smooth application process. Here’s a quick overview of the Telangana BDS Stray Vacancy Phase 2026-27:

The Stray Vacancy Phase is a crucial opportunity, but eligibility is specific. Candidates must meet the following criteria to participate:

• Must be a qualified candidate of NEET UG 2026.
• Must appear on the KNRUHS BDS final merit list for 2026-27.
• Both local and non-local candidates, as per state regulations, are eligible.
• Candidates who did not secure a seat in the previous Phase 1 or Phase 2 counselling rounds are eligible.
• Candidates who skipped participating in Phase 1 or Phase 2 are also eligible to apply.
• Important: Candidates who have already been allotted a seat in any previous round and are currently holding onto it are NOT eligible to register for this Stray Vacancy Phase.

Understanding the Competent Authority Quota (CQ)

The Competent Authority Quota (CQ) refers to state-regulated BDS seats in Telangana. KNRUHS is responsible for filling these seats through a merit-based online counselling process. This quota encompasses seats available in government, private, and the Army College of Dental Sciences across Telangana.

To successfully apply for the Stray Vacancy Phase and exercise your web options, follow these steps carefully:

1. Visit the Official Portal: Navigate to the Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS) official counselling website: tsbdsadm.tsche.in.
2. Access Web Options: Look for the link related to "BDS Stray Vacancy Phase Web Options" or similar.
3. Login: Enter your NEET UG Roll Number, NEET UG Rank, and other required credentials to log in to your candidate portal.
4. Exercise Choices: Carefully select and prioritize your preferred dental colleges and courses. Ensure you verify all details before locking your choices.
5. Pay the University Fee: A non-refundable university fee of Rs 12,000 must be paid online. Your application will not be considered complete without this payment.
6. Review and Confirm: Before final submission, review all your entered details and chosen options. Once satisfied, confirm and submit your choices.
7. Print Confirmation: It is highly recommended to take a printout of your submitted web options for future reference.

Remember, this is the final opportunity for BDS admissions under the Competent Authority Quota for the 2026-27 academic year. Act promptly and accurately.

While exercising web options, and especially during the subsequent admission process, you will need several important documents. Ensure you have both original and attested photocopies of the following:

• Provisional Allotment Letter (if applicable from previous rounds, though not for new applicants)
• Class 10th Mark Sheet and Passing Certificate
