Maharashtra PG medical reporting phase ends; colleges to upload updated seat status next

As of the evening of December 24, candidates have finalized their admissions across government and private medical colleges. The focus now shifts to the administrative consolidation of data, where institutes are uploading final joining reports to the official portals. This transition is a critical step for aspirants awaiting the mop-up round or subsequent stray vacancy phases, as it determines the final "clear vacancy" count.

Following the closure of the reporting window, medical institutions across Maharashtra are currently in the process of reconciling their admission records. The State CET Cell requires all participating colleges to verify the physical presence and document authenticity of joined candidates before marking them as "admitted" on the intra-portal.

• Final Vacancy Calculation: Any seat where a candidate failed to report or did not complete the fee payment by the deadline is automatically reverted to the vacant pool.
• Virtual vs. Clear Vacancies: The dashboard will soon differentiate between seats that are truly empty and those held by candidates who have not yet submitted a "status retention" form.

Systematic Verification: The Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DMER) oversees this consolidation to ensure that the seat matrix for the next round is 100% accurate.

To help aspirants understand the current progress of the 2025 admission cycle, the following table compares the key dates for the state and national reporting windows.

Strategic Roadmap for Remaining Aspirants

With Round 2 reporting concluded, the competition now moves toward the Round 3 (Mop-Up) and Stray Vacancy rounds. Aspirants who have not yet secured a seat or are looking for an upgrade must remain vigilant as the vacancy dashboard goes live.

• Monitor the Dashboard: Keep a close watch on the "Seat Matrix" section of the CET Cell portal for the updated list of vacant clinical and non-clinical branches.
• Document Readiness: Ensure that all original certificates, including the internship completion certificate (valid up to August 11, 2025), are ready for immediate physical verification.
• Decision on Retention: Candidates already joined but seeking an upgrade should verify that they did not submit a status retention form, as doing so would disqualify them from further rounds.

In conclusion, the culmination of the Round 2 reporting phase marks a significant milestone in the 2025 Maharashtra PG medical admission journey. The transparency of the upcoming vacancy data will be instrumental for candidates strategizing for the mop-up round. Aspirants are strongly advised to monitor the official State CET Cell portal daily for the release of the revised seat matrix and specific instructions for Round 3 participation.
