Telangana Local Candidate Rules
The Telangana Government has also reiterated the local candidate rules applicable for MBBS and BDS admissions.
Generally, candidates are considered local if they satisfy the prescribed study or residence requirements in Telangana.
The Government has also provided provisions for candidates whose parents have served outside Telangana due to employment in:

- Central Armed Police Forces
- Telangana Government Corporations and other eligible government organisations
Such candidates may still be treated as local candidates, subject to submission of the required employment certificate from the competent authority.
Keep Scanned Documents Ready

This will help ensure a smooth application process once the official registration portal becomes active.
Candidates should also regularly check the KNRUHS website for:
