Maharashtra NEET PG Counselling 2026: Round 1 Choice Filling Extended, Selection List Today

The State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell, Maharashtra, has announced a last-minute extension for the choice-filling process in the ongoing NEET PG 2026 counselling. Registered candidates participating in the Centralised Admission Process (CAP) Round 1 now have until 12:00 PM today, November 5, 2026, to finalise and lock their preferred medical colleges and specialisations for MD and MS courses.

This extension provides a brief window for applicants to review their choices before the state authorities proceed with the seat allocation process. Following the conclusion of the choice-filling window, the CET Cell is set to publish the CAP Round 1 first selection list later today. Candidates who have been included in the state's final merit list can access their allotment status directly through the official portal at medical2026.mahacet.org.

Accessing Seat Allotment Results and Next Steps

Once the selection list is made public, candidates are advised to visit the official website to verify their results. To check the allotment status, applicants should navigate to the portal and locate the link for the Provisional Selection List for MD/MS courses. The document will be available in PDF format, allowing students to search for their status using their name, NEET PG roll number, or specific application details.

The selection list will clearly indicate the college and course assigned to each candidate based on their preferences and merit. Upon confirming their seat, successful applicants are required to download their official allotment letter. This document is essential for the subsequent phase of the admission process, which involves physical reporting to the allotted institution. Candidates must ensure they complete the reporting formalities within the stipulated timeframe to secure their postgraduate medical admission.

Important Guidelines for Candidates

The CET Cell has emphasised the importance of carefully reviewing the allotted college and course details immediately upon the release of the selection list. As the counselling process moves forward, candidates should remain vigilant regarding further notifications from the state authorities regarding document verification and fee payment schedules. By adhering to the official timelines and procedures provided on the portal, students can ensure a smooth transition into their postgraduate medical studies.
