The final reporting deadline is 5:30 PM on September 30, 2026. Candidates should complete document verification and other admission formalities within the notified window rather than waiting until the final hours. The Maharashtra schedule also lists October 1, 2026, as the commencement of the academic session for MDS courses.

Who Can Participate in Maharashtra NEET MDS Round 2?

Round 2 participation is governed by the eligibility conditions specified by the Maharashtra CET Cell. The counselling information indicates that eligible candidates can include:

• Candidates registered for Maharashtra NEET MDS CAP who were not allotted a seat in Round 1.
• Eligible candidates who were allotted a Round 1 seat but did not join, subject to the applicable CAP rules.
• Fresh eligible candidates included in the state merit list.
• Candidates eligible for further allotment according to the Round 2 rules.

Candidates who participated in Round 1 should check the applicable resignation, forfeiture and eligibility provisions before assuming that they can participate in Round 2. The Maharashtra Round 2 choice-filling notice specifically identifies non-allotted, non-joined and fresh eligible candidates among the participating categories.

Documents Required for Maharashtra MDS Reporting

Candidates should carry their original documents and required photocopies to the allotted dental college. The applicable checklist can vary according to category and admission status.

The Maharashtra NEET MDS counselling documentation includes items such as:

• NEET MDS 2026 admit card
• NEET MDS 2026 scorecard
• BDS marksheets
• BDS degree/pass certificate
• Internship completion certificate
• State Dental Council/eligible dental registration certificate
• Class 10 certificate
• Photo ID
• Maharashtra domicile certificate, where applicable
• Caste/category certificate, where applicable
• Other documents specified in the CAP information brochure
• Round 2 allotment/selection document

The Maharashtra NEET MDS counselling documentation requirements published for the process include the NEET MDS documents, BDS records, internship certificate and dental council registration among other applicable certificates.

Fee Payment and Physical Joining

Candidates allotted seats should follow the fee and joining instructions issued by the CET Cell and their allotted institute. The Round 2 schedule specifically requires candidates to complete physical joining with original documents and requisite fees between September 26 and September 30, up to 5:30 PM.

Candidates should therefore:

1. Download the Round 2 allotment information.
2. Verify the college and specialisation.
3. Read the reporting instructions.
4. Arrange original certificates and photocopies.
5. Keep the applicable admission fees ready.
6. Report to the allotted dental college.
7. Complete document verification and admission formalities.
8. Obtain an acknowledgement or admission receipt from the institute.

The exact fee amount and accepted payment method should be confirmed from the official CAP instructions or allotted college rather than assumed from general counselling practices.

What Happens After Maharashtra NEET MDS Round 2?

Candidates who complete joining should retain their admission documents and receipts. Candidates who are not allotted a seat or whose admission status remains unresolved should continue checking the Maharashtra CET Cell portal for subsequent counselling notices. The published Maharashtra counselling information indicates that the MDS admission process includes further stages after the initial CAP rounds, so candidates should rely on the latest official schedule for any subsequent round rather than assuming a particular vacancy process.
