When you report to your allotted college, you must carry all original documents as proof of your eligibility and identity. The college will verify these documents against your application and NEET scorecard. Incomplete documentation or discrepancies between your claim and original documents can lead to rejection of your admission.
Prepare all the following documents before you visit the college. Make sure each document is an original (not a photocopy) and is in good condition. The college will cross-check these documents with the information you provided in your application form and with the NEET UG 2026 brochure requirements.
- NEET UG Admit Card (the hall ticket you received for the exam)
- NEET UG Scorecard or Rank Card (proof of your NEET performance)
- Online Application Form or Confirmation Page from Maharashtra CET Cell
- Class 10 (SSC) Marksheet and Passing Certificate or Birth Certificate (for date of birth verification)
- Class 12 (HSC) Marksheet and Passing Certificate
- School Leaving Certificate or Transfer Certificate (TC)
What Happens After You Report: Verification and Final Admission
The allotment list released by CET Cell is provisional. Your admission becomes final only after the college verifies your original documents and confirms that you meet all eligibility criteria as outlined in the NEET UG 2026 brochure. This verification process typically happens on the day you report or within a few days after.
Once the college verifies your documents and confirms your eligibility, you will be required to pay the admission fees and complete the final enrollment process. The college will inform you of the exact fee amount and payment method. You must pay the fees within the timeframe specified by the college; if you do not pay, your admission will be cancelled even after document verification.
Understanding Special Stray Vacancy Rounds in NEET Counselling
Special stray vacancy rounds are conducted after the main counselling rounds to fill seats that remain vacant. These seats may be vacant because candidates did not report, withdrew after allotment, or chose not to participate in earlier rounds. The stray vacancy round gives additional chances to eligible NEET candidates who did not secure a seat in the main rounds.
Maharashtra conducts multiple stray vacancy rounds to maximize seat utilization. The round 2 allotment you are seeing now is the second such round. If seats remain vacant after this round, further rounds may be conducted. However, if you have been selected in this round, you should report immediately rather than wait for future rounds, as there is no guarantee of another opportunity.

Important Conditions and Eligibility Verification
All seats allotted in this special stray vacancy round are for positions that have been officially approved or permitted by the Medical Council of India (MCI), National Medical Commission (NMC), or Dental Council of India (DCI). This means the seats are recognized and valid for MBBS and BDS programmes. However, the college must verify that you meet all eligibility requirements before confirming your admission.
The college will cross-check your NEET score, your category (general, OBC, SC, ST), your domicile status, and any other eligibility criteria mentioned in the NEET UG 2026 brochure. If there is any discrepancy between your application and your original documents, the college may reject your admission. For example, if your date of birth on your Class 10 certificate does not match the date you provided in your application, this could be flagged as an issue.
What Happens If You Miss the Reporting Deadline
If you do not report to your allotted college by 5:30 pm on November 13, 2026, your seat allotment will be automatically cancelled. There is no provision for late reporting or extension of the deadline. Once cancelled, you will not be able to claim that seat in any future round, and the seat will be offered to the next candidate on the waiting list.
If you have a genuine emergency that prevents you from reporting on time, contact the college immediately to explain your situation. However, most colleges do not grant extensions beyond the official deadline. It is always safer to report on time rather than risk losing your seat. If you are unable to report in person, check with the college whether a guardian or authorized representative can report on your behalf with a power of attorney.
Next Steps: Prepare Now, Report Tomorrow
If your name appears in the allotment list, your immediate priority is to gather all required documents and plan your visit to the college. Do not delay this process. Verify the exact address and reporting time of your allotted college from the allotment letter or the CET Cell website. Contact the college in advance if you have any questions about the reporting process or required documents.
Prepare a checklist of all documents, make photocopies for your own records, and ensure you have the original documents in a safe folder. If you are traveling from a distance, plan your journey in advance so you can reach the college well before the 5:30 pm deadline. Remember, this is your final opportunity to secure a seat in this round—do not miss it.
