Why Fresh Choices Are Mandatory

If you do not submit and lock fresh choices by 11:00 AM on November 14, you will not be considered for a seat in round three — regardless of whether your earlier preferences were identical .

How to Prepare and Lock Your Round 3 Choice List

Wait for the Round 3 seat matrix to be released on November 13, 2026

Review available seats — check which medical and dental colleges have vacancies after round two

Identify acceptable colleges and courses — only include options you would genuinely accept

Log in to the Maharashtra NEET UG counselling portal at cetcell.mahacet.org
Enter your choices in order of preference — first choice first, then descending
Verify the order before locking
Lock your choices before 11:00 AM on November 14, 2026
Save the confirmation for your records

Do not wait until the final hour. The 11 AM cutoff is strict, and portal traffic may spike as the deadline approaches.

Round 2 Allottees: Earlier Deadline of November 13

If you were allotted a seat in stray round 2, your joining window ends on November 13, 2026 — one day earlier than the round 3 reporting dates. Do not confuse the two deadlines.

Round 3 selected candidates: Report on November 15 or 16, 2026

Reporting for Round 3 Selected Candidates (November 15–16)
