The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell has issued a 'Revised List of Rejected Candidates' for NEET UG 2026, dated 23 August 2026. This is a status notice, not a fresh application window — it names 528 candidates whose registration for Maharashtra's NEET UG (MBBS/BDS) counselling has been rejected because they did not upload and submit the required documents within the time period fixed in the official counselling schedule. The list runs across 12 pages and gives each candidate's NEET All India Rank, NEET Roll Number, CET Cell Online Form Number, name, gender, category, and (where applicable) NRI status and any special reservation flag. Because it is marked 'Revised', it updates and replaces any earlier version of this rejection list that CET Cell may have released. If your name or roll number appears here, your current registration has been turned down for this reason alone — nothing in the notice suggests any other cause.
If your NEET Roll Number, name, or CET Cell Form Number appears in this list, your Maharashtra NEET UG 2026 registration has been rejected solely because you failed to upload and submit your documents within the deadline set in the counselling schedule — check the list carefully by roll number, not just by name.
What exactly did CET Cell publish?
This is an official rejection list from the Government of Maharashtra's State Common Entrance Test Cell, which runs NEET UG counselling (CAP — Centralized Admission Process) for MBBS and BDS seats in the state. The notice lists 528 candidates in total, spread across the pages of the PDF, each identified by five key details: their NEET All India Rank, their NEET Roll Number, their CET Cell Online Registration Form Number, their name, gender, and their declared category (OPEN, SC, ST, OBC, EWS, SEBC, SBC, or one of the Nomadic Tribe / Denotified Tribe sub-categories such as NT(B), NT(C), NT(D), or DT-VJ(A)).
A separate column, 'Specified Reservation', flags additional claims some candidates made — for example PWD (persons with disability), Hilly Area, or codes such as D1, D2, D3 and MKB. The notice does not explain what each of these codes stands for; it simply reproduces what each candidate had claimed in their online form.
Why were these candidates rejected?
The heading of the notice states the reason plainly: these candidates are rejected 'due to not uploading and submitting of documents within time period as per schedule of NEET-UG-2026.' In other words, every single name on this list failed to complete the document upload/submission step of registration inside the window CET Cell had announced.
This is a common and entirely preventable reason for rejection in state counselling. Most CAP-based state counselling requires candidates to first register online, then upload scanned copies of required documents (and in many states, later get them verified), all within a fixed window. Missing that window — even by a day — can result in outright rejection of the application for that round, regardless of NEET score or rank.
How to check if you are on this list
Because names can be misspelled or duplicated, do not rely on searching for your name alone. Match your details using your NEET Roll Number first — it is the most unique identifier in the list — and cross-check with your CET Cell Online Form Number and NEET All India Rank if you have them handy.
The list is arranged in ascending order of CET Cell Online Form Number (the column labelled 'CetCell Online Form No.'), not by rank or name, so you may need to scan through the full document rather than expecting entries in rank order.
- Locate your NEET Roll Number (the number NTA issued for NEET UG 2026) and search for it across all pages.
- Confirm the match using your name and CET Cell Online Form Number together, since roll numbers are long and easy to mistype.
- Note your Sr. No. and page number for reference if you need to raise the issue with CET Cell.
What this notice does — and does not — tell you
The notice is strictly a list; it does not explain how a rejected candidate can appeal, resubmit documents, or re-enter the counselling process, and it does not mention what documents were required or what the original deadline was. Candidates whose names appear here will need to approach the State CET Cell directly — through its official website, helpline, or a facilitation centre — for information on any further steps available to them, since none are stated in this document.
The notice also does not indicate whether being on this list affects a candidate's eligibility for later rounds of counselling (state or All India Quota) or for a future admission cycle. If you are affected, do not assume anything about next steps beyond what CET Cell tells you directly.
A reminder for everyone still in the process
Whether or not your name is on this particular list, the underlying lesson applies to every NEET UG 2026 candidate going through Maharashtra's CAP counselling: document upload deadlines in state counselling are strict and are not usually extended for individual candidates. A missed upload window can cost a seat regardless of how strong your NEET rank is.
If you are currently registered and yet to complete document upload for any round, treat the deadline in your own schedule as non-negotiable and confirm submission well before the last date, rather than close to it.

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
What does it mean if my name is on this list?
It means your registration for Maharashtra's NEET UG 2026 counselling has been rejected because, according to CET Cell's records, you did not upload and submit the required documents within the time period fixed in the counselling schedule.
Why is it called a 'Revised' list?
'Revised' means CET Cell has issued an updated version of a rejection list, which replaces or corrects an earlier version. If you were on an earlier list but not this one, or vice versa, treat this revised, dated (23/08/2026) list as the current one.
My name isn't on the list — does that mean I'm safe?
This notice only names the specific candidates rejected for this particular reason as of this date. If you don't find your roll number here, this rejection does not apply to you, but you should still independently confirm your document submission status with CET Cell rather than assume everything is fine.
What documents was I supposed to upload?
This notice does not specify which documents were required — it only states that the rejection is due to non-uploading/non-submission of documents as per the NEET-UG-2026 schedule. Check CET Cell's counselling schedule/brochure directly for the exact document checklist.
Can I appeal this rejection or resubmit my documents?
The notice does not mention any appeal or resubmission process. If you are on this list, you will need to contact the State CET Cell directly (through its official website or helpline) to find out what, if anything, can be done.
Will this rejection affect my eligibility for later NEET UG counselling rounds?
The notice does not say. It only confirms rejection for the current round/process due to the document issue; any impact on future rounds is not addressed here.
What do the codes like D1, D2, D3, PWD, and Hilly Area in the 'Specified Reservation' column mean?
The notice lists these as claims made by candidates but does not define what each code represents. They appear alongside category columns such as OPEN, SC, ST, OBC, EWS, SEBC, SBC, and NT/DT-VJ sub-categories.
How many candidates are on this list?
528 candidates, listed serially from Sr. No. 1 to 528 across 12 pages, identified by NEET Roll Number, NEET All India Rank, CET Cell Online Form Number, name, gender, and category.
If you or someone you know is preparing for Maharashtra's NEET UG counselling, use your NEET Roll Number to check this list carefully rather than relying on name search alone. If you find your details here, contact the State CET Cell immediately through its official website or helpline to understand your options, since this notice itself does not spell out any next steps.
