Candidates included in the current selection list should recheck their allotted course, college and category and complete admission formalities within the prescribed deadline. The last date for physical joining at the allotted college is October 16, 2026, up to 5:30 PM, including holidays. The same deadline applies for submitting the Status Retention Form at the college.  Candidates must report with the required original documents and requisite fees. The admitting institution will verify eligibility in accordance with the NEET UG 2026 admission brochure. 

Maharashtra Group C CAP Round 1 2026: Key Details

The official revised CAP schedule was issued through Notice No.22 dated October 7, 2026. 

Which Courses Are Covered Under Maharashtra Group C?

The current Group C CAP process covers:

• BPTH — Bachelor of Physiotherapy
• BOTH — Bachelor of Occupational Therapy
• BASLP — Bachelor of Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology
• BP&O — Bachelor of Prosthetics and Orthotics
• BNYS — Bachelor of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences

Candidates should check the course and college shown against their entry in the current CAP Round 1 selection PDF rather than relying on an earlier screenshot or downloaded version.

How to Check Maharashtra Group C CAP Round 1 Selection List

Candidates can check the official selection list by following these steps:

1. Open the Maharashtra NEET UG 2026 counselling portal.
2. Go to the notification section.
3. Open the Provisional Selection List for BPTH/BOTH/BASLP/BP&O/BNYS – CAP Round 1.
4. Search the PDF using the candidate's name, CET form number, NEET roll number or rank.
5. Check the current selection details, including category/quota and college.
6. Follow the allotted institute's admission instructions before October 16.

Maharashtra Group C College Joining Deadline

Selected candidates can physically join their allotted college from October 13 to October 16, 2026, with the window closing at 5:30 PM on October 16. The official schedule specifically states that candidates must report with all original documents and requisite fees by Demand Draft (DD).  The provisional selection list separately states that candidates who fail to submit the originals and pay the requisite fees within the stipulated period will lose the selection. Candidates should therefore confirm the exact fee amount and DD instructions directly with the allotted institute before reporting.

Status Retention Deadline Is Also October 16

The selection list states that the last date to fill the Status Retention Form at the allotted college is October 16, 2026, up to 5:30 PM, including holidays.  Candidates should understand the implications of status retention before submitting the form and follow the rules in the applicable NEET UG 2026 counselling brochure.

Admission Is Subject to Original-Document Verification

An entry in the provisional selection list is not by itself unconditional final admission. The CET Cell states that the admitting institute will verify original documents and ascertain the candidate's eligibility according to the NEET UG 2026 brochure.  Candidates should therefore carry the documents prescribed for their individual admission category and should not rely solely on a generic online checklist.

Why Is the Maharashtra Group C Selection Provisional?

The selection PDF states that the seat allotment has been conducted against seats approved/permitted by the concerned council and affiliated to Maharashtra University of Health Sciences, Nashik, and remains subject to approval by ARA. Notice No.22 also explains why the Group C schedule had to be revised. The earlier CAP Round 1 process was affected because a number of colleges, including government colleges, had not yet received affiliation and therefore could not be included in choice filling. MUHS subsequently approved additional colleges, after which CET Cell issued the revised CAP Round 1 and Round 2 schedule. 

Maharashtra Group C CAP Round 2 Schedule 2026

Candidates planning to participate in the next round should note the following dates:

These dates are part of Notice No.22 and remain subject to changes directed by the relevant authorities. 

Fresh Choices Are Mandatory for CAP Round 2

This is one of the most important rules for candidates considering Round 2. The CET Cell states that choices filled during CAP Round 1 will become null and void for CAP Round 2. Candidates who wish to participate in Round 2 must therefore fill fresh choices between October 18 and October 20.  Candidates should not assume their previous preference list will automatically carry forward.

What Should Selected Candidates Do Now?

Candidates selected in CAP Round 1 should:

• recheck the current selection PDF;
• verify the allotted course and institution;
• confirm the college's exact fee/DD requirement;
• arrange all required original documents;
• physically report before 5:30 PM on October 16;
• complete eligibility/document verification;
• understand the Status Retention Form before signing it;
• retain payment and admission acknowledgements.

Candidates planning to participate in CAP Round 2 should additionally monitor the October 17 seat matrix and prepare a fresh preference list before choice filling opens.
