Selection Process
- NEET UG Qualification: Candidates must qualify the national-level entrance examination and meet the prescribed cut-off for their category.
- Merit List and Document Verification: KNRUHS prepares the state merit position using eligible NEET scores. Candidate details and eligibility documents are then verified during the notified process.
