Maharashtra NEET UG 2026: Round 2 Reporting and Document Verification Commences

The State Common Entrance Test Cell, Maharashtra, has officially commenced the physical reporting and document verification process for candidates participating in the second round of the NEET UG 2026 counselling. Following the release of the CAP Round 2 selection list, students who have been allotted seats are now required to visit their respective medical or dental colleges to secure their admission.

This phase of the counselling process is critical for students seeking admission into MBBS, BDS, and various other health science programmes under the state quota. The authorities have set a strict window for this process, requiring all successful candidates to complete their reporting formalities no later than September 18, 2026.

Reporting Procedures and Documentation Requirements

To finalise their admission, candidates must report in person to their assigned institutions. It is mandatory for students to carry all their original documents for verification purposes. Failure to produce the required documentation during this window may jeopardise the seat allotment, as the verification process is a prerequisite for confirming the admission status within the state's medical and dental colleges.

In addition to the standard document verification, the counselling authorities have highlighted the importance of the Status Retention Form. Candidates are advised to carefully consider their decision before submitting this form at their allotted college. It is important to note that once a candidate submits the Status Retention Form, they will be considered ineligible for any subsequent rounds of the Maharashtra NEET UG 2026 counselling process for the current academic year.

Candidates can access their specific seat allotment details and review the provisional seat matrix by visiting the official portal at medical2026.mahacet.org. The State Common Entrance Test Cell has advised all participants to adhere strictly to the timeline provided, ensuring that all administrative tasks, including the submission of necessary forms and verification of credentials, are completed by the close of business on September 18.
