Maharashtra resumes NEET UG round 3 counselling; revised schedule out, seats may increase

The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test Cell (CET Cell) has started the registrations for round 3 NEET UG counselling 2025 after being postponed due to submission of forged documents and addition of NMC-approved MBBS seats. Candidates who have cancelled and not joined the allotted college in CAP 2 will be eligible to participate in round 3 counselling.

The Maharashtra NEET UG round 3 counselling registration link and re-revised schedule for MBBS and BDS are available on the official website, medicalug2025.mahacet.org.

The State CET Cell on October 14 issued a notice to 152 candidates who had uploaded fake or invalid documents for admission in round 3. Despite securing a seat in the All India Quota (AIQ), several candidates submitted forged documents to claim eligibility and seat in Maharashtra NEET UG counselling.

Each round of MCC NEET UG counselling is followed by the state-level counselling round to prevent seat blocking and mismatch in allocation.

“Seats may increase due to cancellations of AIQ allotted candidates for round-3. Hence candidates are advised to take note of the same and exercise their choice filling carefully during the given period,” the CET Cell said.
