Dr. YSR University of Health Sciences (YSRUHS), Vijayawada, has officially released the Round 2 Web Options Notification for MBBS and BDS admissions under Andhra Pradesh NEET UG Counselling 2026.

This round is an important opportunity for students seeking admission to medical and dental colleges across Andhra Pradesh. Candidates who were allotted a seat in Round 1 can use Round 2 to try for an upgrade, while those who did not receive a seat earlier can participate for a fresh allotment.

Students must carefully complete the web option entry process and follow all official deadlines to avoid losing their opportunity. This guide explains the important dates, eligibility rules, option entry process, and key instructions for AP NEET UG 2026 Round 2 Counselling, helping candidates complete the process correctly and make informed choices.

Detailed Overview: Understanding AP NEET UG 2026 Round 2

The second round of state quota counselling is an important stage in the admission process. Unlike Round 1, where candidates may have a free exit option in many states, Round 2 usually has stricter rules for seat acceptance, security deposits, and withdrawal.

Why Is Round 2 Important?

• Upgrade Opportunity: Candidates who received a seat in Round 1 and chose to upgrade can enter fresh web options to try for a college higher on their preference list.
• Fresh Seat Allotment: Candidates who registered for Round 1 but did not receive a seat can participate again and compete for available vacancies.
• Changes in Seat Matrix: New vacancies may be created when candidates do not join their allotted seats or when seats are converted according to counselling rules. These changes can provide candidates with additional options in Round 2.

Key Highlights

Below is an extensive, easy-to-read overview of the AP NEET UG 2026 Round 2 Web Options process:

Eligibility Criteria for Round 2 Web Options Entry

Before exercising your options, confirm your eligibility status under the guidelines issued by Dr. YSR University of Health Sciences:

Who is Eligible?

• Category A (Admitted in Round 1 with Upgrade Request): Candidates who joined their Round 1 allotted college and submitted a willingness to upgrade to a higher preference in Round 2.
• Category B (Not Allotted in Round 1): Candidates whose names were present in the final merit list but did not get any seat in Round 1.
• Category C (Did Not Exercise Options in Round 1): Candidates who were verified and eligible but did not log options during the initial round (subject to specific YSRUHS conditions).

Who is NOT Eligible?

• Candidates who were allotted a seat in Round 1 but failed to join the respective college within the stipulated timeline (unless specified otherwise in official notices).
• Candidates who have already secured a seat through All India Quota (AIQ) Round 2 and resigned/joined under terms that prohibit state participation.
• Candidates disqualified due to document mismatch or failure to pay mandatory university fees.

Step-by-Step Guide to Filling Web Options

Entering your web options correctly is essential. Follow these steps carefully:

Step 1: Access the Official Portal

Open your browser and navigate to the official YSRUHS web options portal link as mentioned in the notification. Ensure you are using a desktop or laptop with a stable internet connection.

Step 2:Candidate Authentication

Enter your NEET Roll Number, Registration Number, and Password/OTP sent to your registered mobile number and email ID.

Step 3:Review the Seat Matrix

Before selecting colleges, download and carefully examine the Round 2 Vacancy Seat Matrix. Check available seats across categories (OC, BC, SC, ST, EWS) and local areas (AU, SVU).

Step 4:Enter & Prioritize Options

 * Select your preferred Medical and Dental colleges from the dropdown list.

 * Arrange them strictly in descending order of your real preference (1st choice at the top, followed by 2nd, 3rd, etc.).

 * Note: Do not leave off choices you would actually be willing to join if allotted.

Step 5:Save, Review, and Print

 * Periodically click "Save" so you do not lose your selections due to session timeouts.

 * Carefully cross-check your saved list before final submission.

 * Take a physical printout of your saved options for future reference.

Important Rules, Precautions & Best Practices

To avoid common pitfalls during the web option entry process, keep these practical points in mind:

• Preference Ordering Matters Most: The automated software processes your choices sequentially from top to bottom (Choice 1, Choice 2, Choice 3...). If you qualify for Choice 2, the system will allot Choice 2 and bypass Choice 3 onwards. Never put a lower-preference college above a higher-preference one.
• Do Not Limit Your Choices: If your rank is moderate or borderline, do not restrict your web options to only 2 or 3 top colleges. Add as many acceptable options as possible to maximize your chances of securing a seat.
• Understand the Upgrade Implication: If you are allotted an upgraded seat in Round 2, your Round 1 seat is automatically canceled and immediately allotted to another candidate in the system. You cannot claim your Round 1 seat back once an upgrade occurs.
• Deadline Strictness: The web options window closes strictly at the time specified in the official notification. Server congestion can happen in the final hour, so complete your choices well in advance.
