Maharashtra NEET UG 2026: Round 1 Physical Reporting and Admission Process Commences

The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test Cell (State CET Cell) has officially commenced the physical reporting process for the Centralised Admission Process (CAP) Round 1. This phase is critical for students who have been successfully allotted seats in MBBS and BDS courses across various medical and dental colleges within the state under the 85% state quota.

Candidates who appear in the selection list are required to complete their admission formalities by physically visiting their designated institutes. The State CET Cell has advised students to download their specific seat allotment letters from the official portal at medical2026.mahacet.org to facilitate the verification process at their respective colleges.

Admission Requirements and Deadlines

To finalise their admission, students must present all necessary documentation for verification at their allocated medical or dental institutions. The authorities have emphasised the importance of completing this process well before the deadline to avoid any unforeseen technical or banking complications. Failure to report to the allotted college within the stipulated timeframe will result in the automatic cancellation of the seat, with the vacancy subsequently being moved to the Round 2 counselling process.

For students looking to secure their admission permanently, it is mandatory to fill out the Status Retention Form at the institute. Conversely, those who wish to participate in the next round of counselling for a potential seat upgrade are still required to report to their currently allotted college, pay the prescribed fees, and complete the verification process. These candidates should ensure they leave the Status Retention Form blank to remain eligible for future upgrades.
