Maharashtra NEET 2025: Provisional Merit List for AYUSH Courses Released by CET Cell

In a significant update for medical aspirants in Maharashtra, the State Common Entrance Test Cell has officially released the provisional merit list for candidates seeking admission to AYUSH courses, which include BAMS, BHMS, and BUMS programs. This list, now available on the official CET Cell website, marks a crucial step in the Round 1 counselling process and brings clarity for thousands of students.

Aspirants are advised to immediately download and check the merit list to confirm their ranking and eligibility for the upcoming counselling rounds. The publication of this list allows candidates to better assess their chances of admission to their desired colleges based on their NEET UG 2025 scores and state rankings. Any discrepancies or issues with the list can be reported to the CET Cell within a specified window.

Key Dates for AYUSH Counselling

Following the release of the provisional merit list, the next stage of the counselling process is the online choice filling, which will commence on September 8, 2025. Students must meticulously select their preferred colleges and courses, as this will determine their seat allotment. The CET Cell will release the seat matrix for these courses prior to the choice-filling deadline, providing students with a clear picture of available seats in various institutions across the state.

The final seat allotment result for this round is expected to be declared shortly after the choice-filling period concludes.

New Seats and Broad Counselling Context

This state-level development comes amidst the ongoing All India Quota (AIQ) counselling for MBBS and BDS courses, with the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) having recently initiated Round 2 registrations. The MCC has also announced the addition of 2,720 new MBBS seats nationwide for the current academic year, providing a greater number of opportunities for aspirants. Several colleges in Maharashtra, including Datta Meghe Medical College in Nagpur and Bharati Vidyapeeth University Medical College in Pune, are among those that have received approval for additional seats. This expansion is expected to positively impact cut-off scores and open up more avenues for students.

Aspirants are reminded to stay vigilant and follow the official websites of both the MCC and the Maharashtra CET Cell to ensure they do not miss any deadlines.
