Merit List Based on Registration and Document Verification
The CET Cell has clarified that the merit list has been prepared based on the information provided by candidates in their registration forms and e-verification of uploaded documents.
However, admission will be granted only after verification of original certificates at the admitting college. Candidates should therefore ensure that all documents submitted during registration are valid and available in original for the subsequent admission process.
Final Merit List and Round 1 Counselling
The release of the final merit list is an important step in the Maharashtra NEET UG 2026 CAP Round 1 process. Candidates included in the list can proceed with the subsequent counselling activities, including choice/preference filling, according to the schedule notified by the Maharashtra CET Cell.
Candidates should use their merit position while preparing and submitting their college and course preferences. The final seat allotment will depend on factors including merit, preferences submitted, availability of seats, applicable reservation rules and other counselling conditions.
The Maharashtra CET Cell has also begun the Round 1 choice-filling process for eligible MBBS/BDS candidates, making the final merit list particularly important for candidates participating in the first CAP round.
