Dispute Over Reserved Category Seat Allocation in NTRUHS MBBS Admissions
The Liberation Congress Party alleges that NTR University of Health Sciences (NTRUHS) software disadvantages reserved-category students by restricting their ability to upgrade admission categories during MBBS counselling rounds, favoring upper-caste candidates. NTRUHS denies these claims, stating that over 77% of convener quota seats were allotted to Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Backward Classes in 2026-27, with increased open category seats for reserved candidates. The university emphasizes adherence to government orders and reservation policies, rejecting allegations of misinformation.
