Dr. YSR UHS counselling.
Andhra Pradesh MBBS and BDS counselling is conducted by Dr. YSR University of Health Sciences, Vijayawada (also referenced as Dr. NTR UHS in older documents). The counselling allocates 85% State Quota seats in Government Medical Colleges (excluding AIIMS Mangalagiri which is AIQ-only via MCC) plus state-quota seats in Private colleges via the B1/B2 system. AP cutoffs use a complex multi-dimensional encoding: Convenor Quota (CQ) splits into 4 regional streams (APUR/APL/AU/SVU), and Management Quota (MQ) splits into B1/B2/C/CA-NRI/CA-SF.
