Maharashtra CET cell revises NEET UG 2026 CAP round 1 schedule for MBBS, BDS

The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell has revised the schedule for CAP round 1 counselling for admission to MBBS and BDS courses for the academic year 2026-27.

As per the notice issued on August 19, candidates whose names appeared in the provisional merit list published on August 18 can submit grievances between August 19 and August 20 till 5 pm. These candidates will not get another opportunity to raise grievances at a later stage. Therefore, they must complete the process within the stipulated period.

Those who have not registered under the earlier notices can register online and apply for MBBS and BDS courses between August 20 at 8 pm and August 21 at 8 pm. Those who registered earlier but did not pay the fee should make sure to do it during this period.
