Unlock My College ListWhat is this merit list?
The Combined Provisional Merit List is the official record of all candidates who have successfully registered for Maharashtra's CAP counselling for MBBS and BDS courses in Round 2. It shows your provisional rank based on your NEET UG 2026 score, category, and other eligibility factors used by the State CET Cell to determine seat allotment.
This list is 'provisional' because it may be updated if errors are found or if candidates submit corrections. However, it is the basis on which the next stage of counselling — seat allotment — will proceed. Your appearance on this list confirms that your registration was accepted and that you are eligible to receive a seat offer in the upcoming allotment round.
Who should check this list?
Every candidate who registered for Maharashtra NEET UG 2026 CAP counselling for MBBS or BDS courses must check this merit list. This includes candidates from all categories — General, OBC, SC, ST, and any other category recognized by Maharashtra — and candidates applying under all quota types (Open, Competent Authority, etc.).
If you registered but do not see your name on this list, or if your details are incorrect, you must report it immediately to the State CET Cell. Delays in correction can result in your exclusion from seat allotment.
What information will you find on the list?
The merit list contains the following details for each registered candidate: registration number, name, NEET UG roll number, NEET UG score, category, quota type, and provisional merit rank. Your rank determines the order in which you will be offered seats during allotment — a lower rank number means you will be offered seats before candidates with higher rank numbers.
The list is organized by Group A, which refers to a specific category or quota grouping used by Maharashtra for MBBS and BDS seat distribution. Make sure you are looking at the correct group for your application.

- Search for your name using your registration number or NEET UG roll number
- Verify all your details — name, score, category, and rank
What if your name is missing or details are wrong?
If you registered for counselling but your name does not appear on the merit list, it means your registration was either not processed, was rejected, or there is a technical error. This is a serious issue and must be resolved immediately.
If your details on the list are incorrect — for example, your name is misspelled, your score is wrong, your category is listed incorrectly, or your rank seems wrong — you must file a correction request with the State CET Cell as soon as possible. Do not wait for the next round; errors in the merit list will carry forward to seat allotment and may result in you not receiving a seat or receiving the wrong seat.
Contact the State CET Cell with your registration number, NEET UG roll number, and proof of your correct details (your NEET UG admit card, score card, and category certificate if applicable). Keep all communication in writing and save confirmation receipts.
- Name missing from the list → contact State CET Cell immediately with proof of registration
- Name misspelled or details incorrect → file a correction request with supporting documents
- Score or rank appears wrong → verify against your NEET UG score card and report discrepancies
- Category listed incorrectly → submit your category certificate and request correction
What happens after the merit list is published?
After the merit list is finalized (and any corrections are made), the State CET Cell will proceed to the seat allotment stage. Candidates will be offered seats in order of their merit rank, subject to their choices of college and course, and the availability of seats in their category and quota.
You will receive a seat allotment result, which will tell you which college and course (MBBS or BDS) you have been allotted. If you are not satisfied with your allotment, you may be given the option to participate in a subsequent round of counselling (if available) to try for a different seat.

Important: this is a provisional list
The merit list is marked 'provisional' because the State CET Cell may make corrections or updates based on candidate requests, verification of documents, or discovery of errors. Do not assume your rank or eligibility is final until the State CET Cell issues a final merit list or begins seat allotment.
However, this provisional list is the basis for the next stage of counselling. If you have any doubts about your position on this list, raise them now rather than waiting. Once seat allotment begins, it will be too late to correct errors in the merit list.
Key dates and next steps
The merit list has now been published. Your immediate task is to check it and verify your details. If there are any errors or if your name is missing, contact the State CET Cell without delay — do not wait for a reminder or deadline.
The State CET Cell will announce the date for the next stage of counselling (seat allotment) separately. Keep checking the official portal for updates on allotment dates, choice-filling windows (if applicable), and seat allotment results.
- Check the merit list now and verify all your details
- If there are errors, contact State CET Cell immediately with proof
- Wait for the announcement of the seat allotment date
- Prepare your documents (category certificate, domicile, etc.) for verification if called
Common mistakes to avoid
Do not ignore the merit list or assume you will be contacted if there is an error. It is your responsibility to check the list and report any issues. Candidates who do not verify their details on time often miss correction deadlines and lose their seat.
Do not confuse the merit list with the seat allotment result. The merit list shows your rank; the allotment result (which comes later) shows which seat you have been offered. Both are important, but they are different documents.
Do not assume that appearing on the merit list guarantees a seat. Your final seat depends on your rank, your choices, seat availability, and your category/quota. A high rank increases your chances, but does not guarantee a specific seat.
- Ignoring the merit list or not checking it on time
- Not reporting errors in name, score, or category immediately
- Confusing the merit list with the seat allotment result
- Assuming a high rank guarantees a specific seat or college

What does it mean if my name is on the merit list?
It means your registration for Maharashtra NEET UG 2026 CAP counselling was accepted and you are eligible to participate in the seat allotment process. Your rank on the list determines the order in which you will be offered seats. However, appearing on the merit list does not guarantee you will receive a seat — that depends on your rank, your choices, and seat availability.
What should I do if my name is not on the merit list?
Contact the Maharashtra State CET Cell immediately with your registration number and NEET UG roll number. Your registration may not have been processed, may have been rejected, or there may be a technical error. Do not wait — report this as soon as possible so it can be corrected before seat allotment begins.
What if my details on the merit list are wrong — for example, my score or category?
File a correction request with the State CET Cell immediately. Provide your registration number, NEET UG roll number, and supporting documents (your NEET UG score card, category certificate, etc.). Errors in the merit list will carry forward to seat allotment, so it is critical to correct them now.
Is the merit list final, or can it change?
The merit list is provisional, which means the State CET Cell may make corrections or updates based on candidate requests or verification of documents. However, it is the basis for the next stage of counselling. If you have concerns about your rank or eligibility, raise them now rather than waiting.
When will seat allotment happen?
The State CET Cell will announce the date for seat allotment separately. Keep checking the official Maharashtra CAP counselling portal for updates. Seat allotment typically happens after the merit list is finalized and any corrections are made.
What is Group A on the merit list?
Group A refers to a specific category or quota grouping used by Maharashtra for MBBS and BDS seat distribution. The merit list is organized by group to separate candidates by their category or quota type. Make sure you are looking at the correct group for your application.
Does a high rank on the merit list guarantee I will get a seat?
No. A high rank increases your chances of receiving a seat, but it does not guarantee one. Your final seat depends on your rank, your choices of college and course, the number of seats available in your category and quota, and how many candidates ahead of you choose those seats.
How do I search for my name on the merit list PDF?
Download the PDF from the official portal and use the search function (Ctrl+F on a computer or the search tool in your PDF reader) to search for your registration number or NEET UG roll number. This is faster than scrolling through the entire list.
What documents should I have ready after checking the merit list?
Keep your NEET UG admit card, score card, category certificate (if applicable), domicile certificate, and any other documents you submitted during registration. You may need to submit these for verification during the seat allotment or counselling process.
What is the difference between the merit list and the seat allotment result?
The merit list shows your rank based on your NEET UG score and eligibility. The seat allotment result (which comes later) shows which specific seat you have been offered at which college. Both are important, but they are different documents released at different times.
Check the Combined Provisional Merit List for MBBS/BDS Group A Round 2 on the Maharashtra State CET Cell portal immediately. Verify that your name appears, your details are correct, and your rank is accurate. If you find any errors or your name is missing, contact the State CET Cell without delay with your registration number and supporting documents. Keep checking the official portal for the announcement of the seat allotment date and next steps in the counselling process.
