The Andhra Pradesh NEET PG counselling 2025 registration process is currently active for admissions to MD, MS, and PG Diploma courses under the competent authority quota.

Importantly, the application and process fee, including the late fee, will not be refunded once paid.
A total of 191 candidates have been disqualified from participating in this year’s admission process. These include:

- 169 candidates who discontinued their courses between June 1, 2022, and the present date.
Such candidates will not be allowed to apply for admission under either the competent authority or management quota seats in the current counselling round.

Additionally, candidates admitted under the in-service quota must execute a bond agreement, committing to serve for a minimum of 10 years in any government or health facility in the state after completing their PG course. Failure to comply will invite a penalty of ₹50 lakh, along with recovery of pay, allowances, and applicable interest.
