Maharashtra candidates may pay fees by cheque if the payment date falls on a bank holiday, but must replace the cheque with a demand draft on the next working day; otherwise, the State CET Cell may cancel the admission.

Rajasthan’s round-two allotment is based on candidates’ merit-list ranks, submitted choices, seat availability and reservation rules. Candidates who participated in choice filling did so from September 7 to 10, and the result is to be issued as a PDF searchable by registration ID.

In Madhya Pradesh, closing ranks varied substantially by institution: MGM Indore closed at an All India Rank of 11,467, Gandhi Medical College in Bhopal at 16,669, and Bundelkhand Medical College in Sagar at 36,810. The round also included 115 NRI seats, 96 of them MBBS.

Separately, Karnataka’s KEA released the NEET MDS 2026 Round 1 final allotment, requiring candidates to select among four options by September 14. Choice 1 candidates must pay fees, submit original documents at the KEA office in Bengaluru and report to their colleges by 6 p.m. on September 18.
NEET UG 2026 counselling is moving into its final phase across India, with second-round seat-allotment results now published and strict September 18 deadlines looming for candidates to confirm admissions. NDTV reported that Maharashtra allotted 10,938 seats—8,442 in MBBS and 2,496 in BDS—while Rajasthan, West Bengal, and Madhya Pradesh each released their own round-two results in mid-September. Candidates must complete document verification, pay fees, and report to colleges by September 18 or risk losing their seats entirely.
The allotment process reflects India's dual-quota structure: 15% of seats go through the central Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), while states manage the remaining 85%. Jagran Josh noted that Tripura alone allotted 420 MBBS and BDS seats in Round 2. Candidates who miss deadlines face automatic seat cancellation and forfeiture of security deposits, making swift action essential.
Maharashtra Completes Allotment With 258 Vacant Seats
Maharashtra's State Common Entrance Test Cell finalized Round 2 allotments on September 11, distributing 10,938 seats across government, private, and university institutions. Of 8,442 MBBS seats, 4,910 went to government colleges, 3,149 to private colleges, and 383 to private universities. BDS admissions included 302 government seats, 2,113 private seats, and 81 university seats. The 258 remaining vacant seats will roll into subsequent counselling rounds.
Maharashtra imposed a strict payment rule: candidates paying tuition fees by cheque on or near bank holidays must replace the cheque with a demand draft the next working day. Failure to swap the cheque triggers immediate seat cancellation by the State CET Cell. All candidates must confirm admission and submit required documents and fees by September 18.
Rajasthan and West Bengal Release Allotments on Sequential Dates
Rajasthan's NEET UG Medical and Dental Admission Board published its Round 2 allotment result on September 14, assigning seats based on merit-list ranks, candidate choice preferences, seat availability, and reservation rules. The Medical Counselling Committee reported that candidates who completed choice filling from September 7 to 10 received allotment results as downloadable, registration-ID-searchable PDFs. West Bengal followed one day later, releasing its Round 2 results on September 15.
Both states required admitted candidates to report to colleges between September 15 and 18. Rajasthan added tuition-fee payment and document submission windows during this three-day window. West Bengal similarly mandated physical college reporting from September 16 to 18. Missing these deadlines results in automatic seat cancellation across both states.
Madhya Pradesh Completes 10,829 Allocations With Wide Rank Variation
Madhya Pradesh's counselling board finished Round 2 allotments for 10,829 candidates by mid-September, requiring all students to complete college reporting by September 18. Closing ranks—the highest rank admitted to each institution—varied dramatically. MGM Indore admitted candidates up to All India Rank 11,467, while Gandhi Medical College in Bhopal closed at AIR 16,669 and Bundelkhand Medical College in Sagar at AIR 36,810. The state also allocated 115 NRI seats, with 96 reserved for MBBS.
Failure to report within the September 18 deadline triggers immediate seat cancellation and forfeiture of security deposits under state CET Cell rules. Candidates must submit original documents, complete verification, and pay fees during the reporting window. Jagran Josh emphasized that the strict penalties aim to prevent seat hoarding and ensure rapid college filling.
Kerala and Karnataka Administer Parallel MDS Counselling
While UG counselling progresses, Karnataka's Examinations Authority (KEA) managed separate NEET MDS 2026 Round 1 final allotment, requiring candidates to select among four ranked choices by September 14. Candidates assigned Choice 1 seats must pay tuition fees, present original documents directly at KEA's Bengaluru office, and report to assigned colleges by 6:00 PM on September 18. KollegeApply reported that MDS Round 2 choice filling had already begun, offering an additional 53 seats to eligible candidates pursuing postgraduate dental courses.
The parallel MDS counselling tracks operate independently from UG admissions but follow identical September 18 reporting deadlines. Candidates must verify their assigned colleges in real time and plan travel accordingly to meet strict cut-off times. Both rounds aim to complete admissions before the MCC All India Quota Round 3 opens on September 22.
