can i register directly for round 2 counselling for neet ug for state quota andhra pradesh

You should first check the Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences/Dr YSR University counselling notification for the particular year, because state counselling registration rules can differ between rounds.

For AP NEET UG 2026, the counselling schedule indicates that registration for the Competent Authority Quota was conducted separately, while the registration schedule for the Management Quota was to be announced.

If you did not register in Round 1, you should not assume that you can automatically enter Round 2. You can participate in Round 2 only if the AP counselling authority opens registration for new candidates or specifically permits fresh registration.

Therefore, check the Round 2 notification carefully for the words "fresh registration" or "new candidates". If fresh registration is permitted, you can register and participate; otherwise, candidates who missed the initial registration may not be eligible.
