Maharashtra NEET UG 2026: Stray Vacancy Round 1 Selection List Released

The State Common Entrance Test Cell (CET Cell) of Maharashtra has officially released the selection list for the first stray vacancy round of NEET UG 2026 counselling. This announcement marks a critical stage for medical aspirants seeking admission to MBBS and BDS programmes across various government, corporate, and private unaided medical institutions within the state.

Candidates who participated in the Centralised Admission Process (CAP) and submitted their preferences for this round can now access the seat allotment results directly through the official website at cetcell.mahacet.org. The selection list reflects the final allocation of seats under the 85% state quota, determined by a combination of the candidates' NEET UG all-India ranks, the availability of seats, and the specific choices submitted during the designated window.

Reporting and Admission Procedures

Following the publication of the selection list, the CET Cell has outlined a strict timeline for the admission process. Students who have been successfully allotted a seat are required to complete the physical reporting process at their respective assigned colleges. This mandatory step involves the verification of original academic credentials and the payment of the prescribed admission fees.

The window for physical joining and document verification is open from October 20, 2026, and will conclude on October 21, 2026. It is essential for all shortlisted candidates to adhere to this schedule, as the CET Cell has confirmed that failure to confirm the allotted seat within the specified timeframe will result in the automatic cancellation of the admission offer.
