Maharashtra NEET PG state counselling

No 2026 NEET-PG (medical) state counselling notice, brochure or schedule published as of 1 October 2026; the CET Cell's 2026-27 CAP page has no NEET-PGM link yet. NBEMS declared NEET-PG 2026 results on 24 September 2026.

No state publishes this number, so here is how it is built. NMC’s register records the sanctioned PG intake of each government college; MCC’s results record how many of those seats went through the All India Quota. What is left is the state quota — what Maharashtra CET Cell itself allots.

left as state quota

• Must have passed MBBS from a college in Maharashtra (MUHS-affiliated or a deemed university in the state), with internship completed by 31 July 2025 for the 2025 session.
• Exception: Maharashtra domiciles who took an MBBS seat outside the state through the 15% All India Quota, AIIMS or a central institute are also eligible.
• Foreign-university MBBS graduates are not eligible; NRIs may compete only for NRI-quota seats in private/minority colleges.
• OCI holders with OCI status before 4 March 2021 and a Maharashtra MBBS are eligible for state-quota and NRI seats.
• Qualifying percentile per NBE: 50th general/EWS, 45th general PwBD, 40th reserved. In January 2026 NBE cut this to 7th, 5th and 0th; the CET Cell reopened registration for Round 3.
• Eligibility rests on where MBBS was studied, not residence. No fetched source describes how Maharashtra applied Tanvi Behl v. Shrey Goel.

Reservation

Service bond

Government/corporation PG seats (AIQ or state quota): one-year social responsibility service bond, Rs 50 lakh on default; Rs 10 lakh for not completing residency; Rs 10 lakh plus two-year state-quota bar for a lapsed seat. Private colleges impose no bond.

Fees

2025-26 government/corporation colleges: tuition Rs 1,52,100 per year plus Rs 5,000 development, Rs 1,500 admission, Rs 500 gymkhana, Rs 4,000 hostel. Private/minority fees are set by the Fee Regulating Authority (mahafra.org).

1. Register online, pay Rs 3,000 non-refundable fee plus refundable deposit, and upload scanned original documents.
2. Deposit decides choices: Rs 25,000 (Rs 12,500 reserved) allows government colleges only; Rs 1,00,000 allows government and private.
3. CET Cell publishes registered-candidate list, Common Provisional State Merit List, in-service merit list and seat matrix.
4. Fill fresh online preferences for each round; earlier choices are not carried forward.
5. Selection list published; report in person with originals and fees by DD to the allotted college.
6. After Round 1: free exit, upgrade in Round 2, or submit an irreversible Status Retention Form.
7. Round 3 (fresh registration window), then online stray vacancy rounds; Round 3 and stray allotments must be joined.

How the 2025 session actually ran, for a sense of the pace:

Keep ready: Downloaded state application form and NEET-PG 2025 admit card and mark sheet; Photo ID and proof of Indian nationality; MBBS degree/passing certificate and internship completion certificate; MMC/other state council/NMC registration certificate; Certificate that the MBBS college is NMC-recognised; medical fitness certificate (Annexure M); If applicable: caste certificate, caste validity, non-creamy layer (valid to 31/03/2026), state-format EWS certificate, PwD certificate, AIQ MBBS proof plus domicile, DHS NOC, bond release certificate.

No closing-rank table is published. Round-wise selection lists show each allottee's state merit number (SML); the Common State Merit List maps SML to NEET-PG AIR. Examples below are the last OPEN state-quota (non-in-service) allottee in Round 1.

Each college’s sanctioned PG intake, the share the All India Quota took, and what that leaves the state. The last column is the most competitive All India Quota Open closing rank in the college — a measure of how sought-after it is nationally, not a state cutoff.

The hardest All India Quota seats in Maharashtra last year: MD Radiodiagnosis at Government Medical College, Aurangabad (63); MD Radiodiagnosis at TOPIWALA NATIONAL MEDICAL COLLEGE (95); MD Radiodiagnosis at Seth Gordhandas Sunderdas Medical College (96); MD General Medicine at LOKMANYA TILAK MEDICAL COLLEGE MUMBAI (125); MD Radiodiagnosis at Grant Medical College, Maharashtra (187).

Rules are summarised from those documents in our own words; where a document did not settle a point, this page leaves it out rather than guessing. Seat figures are derived from NMC’s College and Course Search and MCC’s allotment reports — see the methodology. Spotted something out of date? The official notice always wins.
