Maharashtra NEET UG 2026 Round 3 Seat Allotment Set for October 11

The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test Cell is scheduled to release the Round 3 seat allotment results for NEET UG 2026 on October 11, 2026. This announcement is crucial for candidates seeking admission into medical programs, as it marks a significant step in the overall admission process. Candidates who are allotted a seat will have a strict four-day window, from October 11 to October 14, to report physically to their designated colleges. Missing this deadline could lead to the forfeiture of their seats, making it imperative for candidates to act swiftly.

Historically, the allotment results are typically released in the evening, although the exact time for this round has not yet been confirmed. Candidates can access their results by logging into the official counselling portal at medical2026.mahacet.org using their registered credentials. The allotment letter will provide essential details, including the college name, course (MBBS or BDS), and the assigned seat category. It is advisable for candidates to download and print multiple copies of this letter for their records and future reference.

Upon receiving their allotment, candidates must prepare to report to their allotted colleges within the specified timeframe. This involves submitting original documents, including the allotment letter, NEET admit card, scorecard, and various certificates, along with the required admission fee. Each college may have specific instructions regarding the payment methods and the amount, so candidates should verify these details carefully to avoid any complications.

The implications of missing the reporting deadline are significant. According to the counselling rules in Maharashtra, failure to report by October 14 will result in automatic cancellation of the allotted seat, which will then be offered to the next eligible candidate. There is generally no grace period, so candidates are urged to plan their travel and ensure that all documentation is in order well in advance.

Looking ahead, candidates who do not receive an allotment in Round 3 may still have opportunities in subsequent rounds or stray vacancy rounds conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC). It is essential for candidates to stay updated by regularly checking official announcements and understanding the counselling rules to explore their options effectively.
