The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test Cell (CET Cell) has published an official list of 575 candidates who have been rejected from NEET UG 2026 Round 2 counselling. The reason: they failed to upload and submit their required documents within the prescribed deadline of 29 September 2026. This is a critical document — if your name appears on this list, your seat allotment for this round has been cancelled, and you will not be able to proceed to admission. The list includes candidates across all categories (OPEN, SC, ST, OBC, EWS, NT, SEBC, SBC, DT-VJ(A)) and reservation types (PWD, Hilly Area, D1, D2, D3, MKB, Orphan). Understanding why you were rejected and what to do next is essential.
If your name is on this 575-candidate rejection list, your Round 2 seat allotment has been cancelled because you did not submit required documents by 29 September 2026 — you must immediately contact CET Cell or check the official portal for next steps and any opportunity to appeal or participate in subsequent rounds.

This is not a waiting list or a provisional list. This is a final rejection list. If your name appears here, it means the Maharashtra CET Cell has formally cancelled your seat allotment in Round 2 of NEET UG 2026 counselling.
The reason is simple: you did not upload and submit all required documents by the deadline of 29 September 2026. The CET Cell had set a specific schedule for document submission, and candidates who missed that deadline have been rejected, regardless of their NEET rank or category.
This rejection applies only to Round 2. It does not automatically disqualify you from future rounds (if any). However, you will need to understand what went wrong and ensure you do not repeat the mistake in any subsequent counselling round.
Who Is on This List: 575 Candidates Across All Categories
The rejection list includes 575 candidates from Maharashtra who participated in NEET UG 2026 Round 2 counselling. These candidates span all NEET categories: OPEN, SC, ST, OBC, EWS, NT(B), NT(C), NT(D), SBC, SEBC, and DT-VJ(A).
The list also includes candidates with special reservations: PWD (Persons with Disability), Hilly Area, and various disability subcategories (D1, D2, D3). Some candidates are marked as MKB (Minority Keen Beneficiary) or Orphan.
The candidates are listed by their CetCell Online Form Number, NEET Roll Number, India Rank, gender, category, and any special reservation. The list runs to 575 entries, numbered sequentially from 1 to 575.
Why Were You Rejected: Document Submission Deadline Missed
The Maharashtra CET Cell had announced a specific schedule for document upload and submission in NEET UG 2026 Round 2 counselling. This schedule was published in the counselling notification and on the official portal (medical2026.mahacet.org).
Candidates who were allotted a seat in Round 2 were required to upload and submit all mandatory documents — such as NEET admit card, mark sheet, category certificate (if applicable), domicile certificate, medical fitness certificate, and other supporting documents — within the prescribed time window.
If you did not complete this upload and submission by 29 September 2026, your seat was automatically cancelled, and your name was added to this rejection list. The CET Cell does not grant extensions or accept late submissions for document verification in counselling.
How to Check If Your Name Is on the List
The rejection list is published on the official Maharashtra CET Cell website: medical2026.mahacet.org. You can download the PDF directly or view it online.
To find your name, search by your CetCell Online Form Number (the 9-digit number starting with 264) or your NEET Roll Number. The list is sorted by serial number and includes your name, gender, category, and any special reservation.
If you find your name on this list, it confirms that your Round 2 seat allotment has been cancelled due to non-submission of documents. Do not assume you will automatically get a seat in the next round — you must take corrective action.

What Documents Were Required: The Documents You Missed
The Maharashtra CET Cell requires all candidates allotted a seat to submit a standard set of documents for verification. While the exact list may vary slightly by category and reservation, the typical mandatory documents include:
NEET UG 2026 Admit Card, NEET UG 2026 Answer Key and Mark Sheet, Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets and certificates, Domicile Certificate (proof of Maharashtra residence, if applicable), Category Certificate (SC/ST/OBC/EWS/NT/SEBC/SBC/DT-VJ(A) — issued by the competent authority), Medical Fitness Certificate (for PWD candidates), Caste Validity Certificate (if required), and any other document specified in the counselling notification.
The CET Cell publishes a detailed checklist of required documents in the counselling notification. If you did not upload all required documents by the deadline, your application was rejected. Partial submission or submission of only some documents does not count as compliance.
- NEET UG 2026 Admit Card
- NEET Mark Sheet and Answer Key
- Class 10 and 12 certificates and mark sheets
- Domicile Certificate (if required)
- Category Certificate (SC/ST/OBC/EWS/NT/SEBC/SBC/DT-VJ(A))
- Medical Fitness Certificate (PWD candidates)
- Caste Validity Certificate (if applicable)
- Any other document specified in the notification
Common Reasons for Rejection: Why Candidates Missed the Deadline
Many candidates are rejected because they did not realize the document submission deadline was separate from the seat allotment date. They assumed they had more time or did not check the official portal regularly.
Others faced technical issues while uploading documents — slow internet, file format errors, or portal crashes — and did not attempt to resubmit or contact the CET Cell for help.
Some candidates did not have all required documents ready in time. For example, they were still waiting for a category certificate from the district administration or a domicile certificate from the taluka office.
A few candidates misunderstood which documents were mandatory and which were optional, and submitted an incomplete set.
In rare cases, candidates uploaded documents but the portal did not register the submission due to a technical glitch, and they did not verify or follow up.
- Did not know the document deadline was different from seat allotment date
- Did not check the official portal or email notifications
- Faced technical issues during upload and did not retry
- Did not have all required documents ready in time
- Submitted incomplete or incorrect documents
- Uploaded documents but did not verify successful submission

How to Avoid Rejection in Future Rounds: Lessons Learned
Every kind of MBBS/BDS seat, one rank
See the real seats your NEET rank can reach.
Read the entire counselling notification carefully, especially the section on document submission. Note the exact deadline date and time. Mark it on your calendar and set phone reminders.
Prepare all required documents at least one week before the deadline. Do not wait until the last day. If you need a category certificate or domicile certificate, apply for it immediately — these can take weeks to issue.
Log into the CET Cell portal regularly to check for updates, announcements, and any changes to the deadline or document list.
When you upload documents, verify that each file is in the correct format (usually PDF), is not corrupted, and is under the file size limit. After uploading, take a screenshot of the confirmation page.
After submission, log back into the portal the next day to confirm that all documents are showing as 'Submitted' or 'Verified'. Do not assume the upload was successful just because you clicked the button.
If you encounter any technical issue, contact the CET Cell helpline immediately. Do not wait until the last hour. The helpline is usually available during business hours.

Understanding Your Category and Reservation on the List
The rejection list shows your NEET category (OPEN, SC, ST, OBC, EWS, NT, SEBC, SBC, DT-VJ(A)) and any special reservation (PWD, Hilly Area, D1, D2, D3, MKB, Orphan). This information is important for future rounds.
If you are in a reserved category (SC, ST, OBC, EWS, NT, SEBC, SBC, DT-VJ(A)), you must ensure your category certificate is valid and has not expired. Some states issue category certificates with an expiry date. If yours has expired, you must renew it before the next counselling round.
If you have a PWD reservation, your medical fitness certificate must be current. If it was issued more than a year ago, you may need to renew it.
If you are marked as MKB (Minority Keen Beneficiary) or Orphan, ensure you have the supporting documentation (minority community certificate or orphan certificate) ready for the next round.
Your category and reservation status determine which seats you are eligible for and which counselling rounds you can participate in. Do not assume you can change your category or reservation in the next round without proper documentation.
- Check your category on the rejection list
- Verify your category certificate is valid and not expired
- If PWD, ensure your medical fitness certificate is current
- If MKB or Orphan, gather supporting documentation
- Your category determines your seat eligibility in future rounds
- Do not attempt to change your category without proper proof

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
If my name is on this rejection list, does it mean I cannot get admission to any medical college in Maharashtra?
No. Your Round 2 seat allotment is cancelled, but you are not permanently barred from admission. If the CET Cell conducts Round 3 or further counselling rounds, you can participate if you meet the eligibility criteria and register on time. However, you must ensure you submit all required documents by the deadline in the next round. If no further rounds are conducted, you may explore other admission pathways (e.g., private colleges, other states) or wait for the next NEET cycle.
Why was I rejected even though I uploaded some documents?
The CET Cell requires all mandatory documents to be uploaded and submitted by the deadline. Partial submission does not count. If you uploaded only some documents (e.g., NEET admit card but not category certificate), your application was rejected because the submission was incomplete. You must upload every document listed in the counselling notification.
Can I appeal against my rejection?
Yes, you can file an appeal if you believe your rejection was due to a technical error (e.g., the portal was down, your file did not upload despite multiple attempts) or a genuine emergency. However, appeals are rarely granted. You must file the appeal within the time frame specified in the counselling notification (usually 3–7 days) and provide supporting evidence. Contact the CET Cell office or helpline for the appeal procedure.
What is the deadline for filing an appeal against this rejection?
The notice does not specify an appeal deadline. Check the official CET Cell website (medical2026.mahacet.org) or the original Round 2 counselling notification for the appeal procedure and deadline. Appeals must typically be filed within 3–7 days of the rejection. Do not delay — contact the CET Cell immediately if you wish to appeal.
If I participate in Round 3, will I have the same document submission deadline?
The document submission deadline for Round 3 (if conducted) will be announced separately in the Round 3 counselling notification. It may be the same as Round 2 or different. When Round 3 is announced, read the notification carefully and note the exact deadline. Prepare all documents in advance and submit them well before the deadline to avoid rejection.
I was hospitalized during the document submission period. Can I get an extension?
The CET Cell does not typically grant extensions for document submission, even in cases of genuine hardship. However, if you were hospitalized, you may file an appeal with supporting medical evidence (hospital discharge certificate, doctor's letter). Contact the CET Cell office immediately with your evidence. While an extension is unlikely, an appeal may result in your case being reviewed.
My category certificate expired. Can I still participate in the next round?
No. An expired category certificate is not valid. You must renew your category certificate before the next counselling round. Contact the district administration or taluka office in your district to apply for a fresh category certificate. This process can take 2–4 weeks, so apply immediately. Do not wait until the next counselling round is announced.
I uploaded documents but the portal showed an error. How do I know if my submission was successful?
Always log back into the portal the next day to verify that your documents are showing as 'Submitted' or 'Verified'. Do not assume the upload was successful just because you clicked the button. If the portal shows 'Pending' or 'Not Submitted', contact the CET Cell helpline immediately. In future rounds, take screenshots of the confirmation page after each upload.
Can I change my category or reservation in the next round?
No. Your NEET category and reservation status are determined by your NEET registration and cannot be changed during counselling. If you believe your category or reservation was incorrectly assigned, you must contact the NEET authorities (NTA or the relevant state body), not the CET Cell. This must be done before the next counselling round begins.
What if I lost my NEET admit card or mark sheet? Can I still participate in the next round?
Yes, but you must obtain a duplicate or certified copy before the next counselling round. Contact the NEET authorities (NTA) or your school/college to request a duplicate admit card or mark sheet. This process can take 1–2 weeks, so apply immediately. Do not wait until the next counselling deadline is announced.
Is there a list of which documents are mandatory and which are optional?
Yes. The CET Cell publishes a detailed checklist of required documents in the counselling notification. The typical mandatory documents are: NEET Admit Card, NEET Mark Sheet, Class 10 and 12 certificates, Domicile Certificate (if applicable), Category Certificate (if applicable), and Medical Fitness Certificate (for PWD candidates). Check the official notification for the complete list and any category-specific requirements.
If I am on this rejection list, can I still apply to private medical colleges in Maharashtra?
Yes. This rejection applies only to the government and aided college counselling conducted by the CET Cell. Private medical colleges in Maharashtra have their own admission process and are not affected by this rejection. However, private colleges may have their own document requirements and deadlines. Contact private colleges directly for their admission procedure.
If your name appears on this 575-candidate rejection list, your Round 2 seat allotment has been cancelled due to non-submission of required documents by 29 September 2026. Do not report to any college or pay any fees based on this allotment. Immediately check the official CET Cell website (medical2026.mahacet.org) for announcements about Round 3 or further counselling rounds. If you wish to appeal, contact the CET Cell office with supporting evidence within the specified time frame. For the next round, prepare all required documents well in advance, upload them before the deadline, and verify successful submission by logging back into the portal the next day. If you have any doubts, contact the CET Cell helpline or visit the office in person.
