This provides a significant opportunity for students from other states to access a wide variety of clinical seats in Hyderabad and other cities.
These are the premier government institutions in Telangana, known for high patient load and academic excellence. Seats are filled by KNRUHS (50% State Quota) and MCC (50% AIQ).
