Maharashtra: 670 more UG medical seats for second round allotment

A total of 670 more seats will be up for garb for the second round Maharashtra NEET 2021 counselling 2021.  These seats were not included in the round-1 seat allotment.

Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS) has given approval to 670 more seats for second round seat allotment for Maharashtra medical admission 2021. These seats were not included in the round one seat allotment list released by CET Cell. Reportedly the inspection in most of the colleges have been completed now for Maharashtra NEET 2021 counselling round-2.

Candidates had raised objections as CET Cell had not included these seats in the round one admission for MBBS/BDS courses. From 4,550 seats in government colleges, only 4,530 seats were allotted and out of 2,720 seats in private colleges, only 2,070 seats allotted in round-1. A total of 20 seats from government and 650 from private colleges were not included in round one admission.

Providing the reason why these seats were not included, a senior official from the state CET cell was quoted as saying,“Newly-approved institutes or additional seats approved in existing institutes need approval from three authorities—the National Medical Commission (NMC), the course governing council and MUHS. In the case of these 670 seats, MUHS approval for the same is still pending and we cannot allow such seats unless the approval comes through.”.

The first round seat allotment process has already been completed for admission. Maha CET Cell will start registration for second round seat allotment for Maharashtra NEET 2021 UG counselling 2021.
