Maharashtra's State Common Entrance Test Cell (CET Cell) has released a list of 9 candidates whose applications for NEET UG 2026 counselling have been rejected. The reason: they did not upload and submit their required documents within the deadline set by the counselling schedule. This rejection means these candidates are now ineligible to participate in further counselling rounds and cannot be allotted a seat in Maharashtra's MBBS or BDS colleges. If your name appears on this list, your counselling process has ended. If you are still in counselling, this notice shows you exactly what happens if you miss the document submission deadline — so act immediately if you have not yet submitted yours.
Nine candidates have been rejected from Maharashtra NEET UG 2026 counselling for missing the document submission deadline; if your name is on this list, you are no longer eligible for a seat.

Unlock My College ListWhat Is This List?
This is an official rejection notice issued by Maharashtra's State Common Entrance Test Cell on 4 November 2026. It names 9 candidates who applied for NEET UG 2026 counselling but failed to upload and submit their required documents by the deadline specified in the counselling schedule.
When you register for Maharashtra's NEET UG counselling, you must submit certain documents (such as your NEET admit card, mark sheet, category certificate, domicile certificate, and others) within a strict timeframe. The CET Cell sets a deadline for this submission. Candidates who do not submit by that date are automatically rejected and removed from the counselling process.
The 9 Rejected Candidates
The notice lists 9 candidates by their NEET All India Rank, NEET Roll Number, CetCell Online Form Number, name, gender, category, and any specified reservation (such as PWD — Person with Disability, or D1/D2 disability subcategories). Below is the complete list:
| Sr. No. | NEET All India Rank | NEET Roll No. | CetCell Form No. | Candidate Name | Gender | Category | Specified Reservation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 436684 | 3101111060 | 264064431 | Shrutee Kanif Hole | F | OBC | D1 |

Why Were These Candidates Rejected?
All 9 candidates were rejected for the same reason: they did not upload and submit their required documents within the time period specified in the NEET UG 2026 counselling schedule. This is a strict, non-negotiable requirement. The CET Cell does not grant extensions or accept late submissions.

Document submission is a critical step in the counselling process. Without proof of your eligibility — your NEET score, educational qualifications, caste/category status, domicile, and other mandatory certificates — the CET Cell cannot verify that you meet the criteria for admission. If you do not submit by the deadline, you are automatically disqualified, regardless of your rank or category.
What Happens to a Rejected Candidate?
Once your name appears on this rejection list, you are permanently removed from the counselling process for the 2026-27 academic session. You cannot participate in any further counselling rounds — not Round 1, Round 2, or any subsequent round. You cannot be allotted a seat in any Maharashtra MBBS or BDS college through the CAP (Centralised Admission Process) counselling.
Your only option at this point is to explore counselling in other states (if you are eligible under their domicile or eligibility rules) or to consider private medical colleges that conduct their own admission processes outside the state counselling system. However, for Maharashtra's government and aided medical colleges, your admission opportunity for 2026-27 is closed.
What Documents Must Be Submitted During Counselling?
Although this notice does not list the specific documents required, Maharashtra's NEET UG counselling typically requires candidates to upload and submit the following during registration:
These documents must be uploaded in the correct format (usually PDF or JPG) and within the exact deadline set by the CET Cell. Any missing or incorrectly uploaded document can lead to rejection. The CET Cell does not contact candidates to ask for corrections — if something is wrong or missing, you are rejected.
- NEET UG 2026 Admit Card
- NEET UG 2026 Score Card / Result
- Class 10 and Class 12 Mark Sheets
- Class 12 Pass Certificate
- Caste/Category Certificate (if applicable — OBC, SC, ST, EWS)
- Domicile Certificate (proof of Maharashtra residence)
- PWD Certificate (if claiming disability reservation)
- Migration Certificate (if applicable)
- Character Certificate
- Medical Fitness Certificate (if required)
- Passport-size photograph and signature (digital format)
How to Check If Your Name Is on the Rejection List
If you are a NEET UG 2026 candidate who registered for Maharashtra counselling, check this list immediately. You can identify yourself by your NEET Roll Number, CetCell Online Form Number, or your name. The list is sorted by serial number and includes your NEET All India Rank, gender, category, and any disability reservation.
If your name appears on this list, do not wait for further communication. Your application has been rejected, and you must explore alternative options immediately. If your name does NOT appear, it means you either submitted your documents on time or have not yet been processed. Continue to monitor the CET Cell website for further updates and ensure you meet all upcoming deadlines.

The Critical Importance of Meeting Deadlines
This rejection list is a stark reminder of how strictly Maharashtra enforces document submission deadlines. There is no grace period, no second chance, and no appeal process for missing the deadline. The CET Cell's position is clear: if you do not submit by the date and time specified, you are out.
If you are still in the counselling process and have not yet submitted your documents, treat the deadline as absolute. Set a reminder at least 24 hours before the deadline. Upload your documents well in advance — do not wait until the last hour. Technical issues (internet problems, website crashes, file upload errors) are not accepted as reasons for late submission. The responsibility is entirely yours.
What If You Missed the Deadline by Mistake?
If you are one of the 9 rejected candidates and you missed the deadline unintentionally, you have very limited options. First, check the CET Cell website and your registered email for any official notification about an extended deadline or a special window for late submissions. Some states do occasionally announce a brief extension, though Maharashtra has not done so in this case.
If no extension is announced, you can attempt to contact the CET Cell's help desk or grievance cell to lodge a formal complaint or appeal. However, based on past practice, appeals for missed deadlines are rarely successful. Your best course of action is to prepare for the next admission season (2027-28) or explore admission through private colleges or other states' counselling systems.
Important Dates and Next Steps
This rejection list was issued on 4 November 2026. The document submission deadline that these candidates missed was part of the NEET UG 2026 counselling schedule announced earlier by the CET Cell. If you are still in counselling, you must know the exact dates for the next phase — whether it is the next round of allotment, the next document submission window, or the final joining deadline.
Check the official CET Cell website (medical2026.mahacet.org) regularly for updates on upcoming counselling rounds, allotment dates, and joining deadlines. Do not rely on rumors or unofficial sources. Every date matters, and missing even one can result in rejection, just like the 9 candidates on this list.

Is my name on the rejection list? How do I check?
You can check by looking for your NEET Roll Number, CetCell Online Form Number, or your name in the table above. The list contains 9 candidates rejected on 4 November 2026. If your name appears, your application has been rejected for missing the document submission deadline. If your name does not appear, you are still in the counselling process — but continue to monitor for updates.
What does it mean if I am on this rejection list?
It means you did not upload and submit your required documents by the deadline set in the NEET UG 2026 counselling schedule. As a result, you have been permanently removed from Maharashtra's counselling process and cannot be allotted a seat in any government or aided MBBS or BDS college in Maharashtra for the 2026-27 academic session.
Can I appeal or request a second chance if I missed the deadline?
The CET Cell does not grant extensions or accept appeals for missed deadlines. The deadline is absolute and non-negotiable. If you missed it, your only options are to explore counselling in other states (if eligible) or to apply to private medical colleges that conduct their own admissions.
What documents do I need to submit during counselling?
Typically, you must submit your NEET Admit Card, Score Card, Class 10 and 12 Mark Sheets, Pass Certificate, Caste/Category Certificate (if applicable), Domicile Certificate, PWD Certificate (if claiming disability), Migration Certificate (if applicable), Character Certificate, and a digital photograph and signature. The exact list is specified in the CET Cell's counselling instructions — check the official website for the complete and current list.
When is the document submission deadline for the next counselling round?
This notice does not specify the deadline for future rounds. You must check the official CET Cell website (medical2026.mahacet.org) for the counselling schedule and all upcoming deadlines. Do not assume — verify every date directly from the official source.
I am still in counselling. What should I do to avoid being rejected?
Gather all required documents immediately, upload them to the CET Cell portal well before the deadline (at least 24 hours in advance), and take screenshots of your successful submission. Monitor your email and the CET Cell website daily for updates. Do not wait until the last moment — technical issues and delays are not accepted as reasons for late submission.
Can I participate in counselling in another state if I am rejected in Maharashtra?
Yes, you can explore counselling in other states if you meet their eligibility criteria (such as domicile or category requirements). However, each state has its own schedule and deadlines, so you must act quickly. Check the official websites of other state medical counselling authorities for their schedules and registration windows.
What if I have a disability (PWD) and I am on the rejection list?
Even if you have a disability and are entitled to PWD reservation, you are still subject to the same document submission deadline. Three of the rejected candidates (Shrutee Kanif Hole with D1, Harshal Jadhav with PWD, and Selkar Laksh Sanjay with D2) had disability reservations but were still rejected for missing the deadline. Disability status does not exempt you from deadlines.
Is there any way to get back into counselling after being rejected?
No. Once you are on the rejection list, you cannot re-enter Maharashtra's counselling for the 2026-27 academic session. Your only option is to wait for the 2027-28 admission season and ensure you meet all deadlines then, or to explore admission through private colleges or other states.
Why was I rejected if I uploaded my documents but they were incomplete?
The CET Cell's system automatically rejects applications if required documents are missing or not uploaded correctly by the deadline. The system does not send reminders or ask for corrections. If any document was missing or in the wrong format, you would have been rejected. This is why it is critical to verify that all documents are uploaded correctly well before the deadline.
How do I contact the CET Cell if I have questions about my rejection?
Check the official CET Cell website (medical2026.mahacet.org) for contact details, email addresses, and help desk phone numbers. You can lodge a formal grievance or appeal, but be aware that appeals for missed deadlines are rarely successful. Act quickly if you choose to appeal.
What is the difference between the categories listed (OBC, SC, EWS, OPEN)?
These are the social and economic categories under which candidates apply for reserved seats in Maharashtra. OBC = Other Backward Class, SC = Scheduled Caste, EWS = Economically Weaker Section, OPEN = General/Unreserved. The category determines which seats you are eligible for and affects your cutoff rank. PWD and D1/D2 refer to disability reservations within these categories.
If your name is on this rejection list, your counselling in Maharashtra for 2026-27 has ended. Immediately explore alternative options: counselling in other states, private medical colleges, or preparation for the 2027-28 admission season. If you are still in counselling, treat every deadline as absolute — gather your documents now, upload them well before the deadline, and monitor the CET Cell website daily for the next phase. Do not become one of the rejected candidates in the next list.
