MAH AYUSH UG Round 2 2026: Key Dates

The dates are specified in Notice No. 20 issued by the Maharashtra State CET Cell.

Which Courses Are Covered Under Group B?

MAH AYUSH UG Group B covers three undergraduate courses:

• Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS)
• Bachelor of Homoeopathic Medicine and Surgery (BHMS)
• Bachelor of Unani Medicine and Surgery (BUMS)

The Round 2 schedule applies specifically to these three courses.

MAH AYUSH UG Round 2 Seat Matrix 2026

The CET Cell has released the provisional seat matrix for BAMS, BHMS and BUMS CAP Round 2. The matrix contains college-wise seat information for participating government, government-aided, private and minority institutions. The document was updated on October 6, 2026. Candidates should review the latest matrix before preparing their preference order because the seat position can change based on information received from institutions, MUHS, regulatory authorities, government decisions or court orders.

Who Can Fill Choices in MAH AYUSH UG Round 2?

Round 2 choice filling is intended for candidates who are eligible under the existing Group B CAP process. The CET Cell's Notice No. 20 does not open a new registration window for Round 2. Instead, candidates proceed to the choice/preference-filling stage after Round 1. Candidates should log in using their existing CAP credentials and check the options available to them on the portal. Candidates who are not participating in Round 2 should not submit preferences simply because the portal is open. Preference filling should be completed only by candidates eligible for the current CAP round.

How to Fill MAH AYUSH UG Round 2 Choices?

Candidates can complete their preferences through the Maharashtra NEET UG 2026 admission portal.

1. Visit the official Maharashtra NEET UG admission portal.
2. Log in using your registered CAP credentials.
3. Open the Group B BAMS/BHMS/BUMS Round 2 choice-filling section.
4. Check the latest Round 2 seat matrix.
5. Select colleges and courses according to your preference.
6. Arrange the selected options in the desired order.

The official choice-filling window remains open until 12 noon on October 8, 2026.

Important Points Before Locking Choices

Candidates should review the Round 2 seat matrix before finalising their preferences. College, course and category-wise vacancies can differ significantly. The preference order should reflect the candidate's actual admission priorities. Candidates should also carefully check the college and course details before submitting their final preferences. Once the choice-filling deadline expires, candidates should monitor the CET Cell portal for the Round 2 selection list.

MAH AYUSH UG Round 2 Selection List 2026

The Maharashtra CET Cell has scheduled the CAP Round 2 selection list for October 9, 2026. Candidates should check the official portal after the selection list is published and verify their allotted college and course. Candidates who receive an allotment should follow the instructions issued by the allotted college and complete physical joining within the prescribed period.

Physical Joining for MAH AYUSH UG Round 2

Physical joining for candidates allotted seats in Round 2 is scheduled from October 10 to October 14, 2026, up to 5:30 PM. Candidates must report to the allotted college with their original documents and requisite fees. The CET Cell's notice also specifies provisions regarding payment by cheque on bank holidays, with the cheque required to be replaced by a demand draft on the next working day. Failure to provide the DD may result in cancellation of admission.

MAH AYUSH UG CAP Round 3 Schedule

The CET Cell has also announced the subsequent Group B CAP Round 3 schedule. Fresh online registration and session application for BAMS, BHMS and BUMS will be open from October 15 to October 18, 2026, up to 5 PM. Registration fee payment will remain open until 8 PM on October 18, while document uploading and submission will continue until 11 PM. The combined final merit list and Round 3 seat matrix are scheduled for October 24. Round 3 preference filling will then take place from October 25 to October 27, 2026, up to 11:59 PM. The Round 3 selection list is scheduled for October 29. This is important for candidates who do not secure their preferred seat in Round 2 or need to participate in the subsequent CAP process.

AIQ and State Counselling Candidates: Important Rule

Candidates participating in both AIQ and Maharashtra state counselling should carefully monitor their allotment status. The CET Cell has stated that candidates allotted a seat through AIQ in CAP Round 3 will not be allotted a seat through State Counselling CAP Round 3. Candidates are therefore advised to fill their preferences carefully because once a seat is allotted, joining the allotted seat is mandatory.

MAH AYUSH UG Round 2 2026: Candidate Action Plan

1. Candidates should first check their Round 2 eligibility and log in to the official portal using their existing credentials.
2. They should then review the latest BAMS/BHMS/BUMS seat matrix and prepare a preference order based on their actual choices.
3. The final preference list should be submitted before 12 noon on October 8. 
4. After the Round 2 selection list is released on October 9, allotted candidates should arrange their original documents and requisite fees for physical joining.
