What the Maharashtra CAP Round 2 Preference Deadline Extension Means for NEET UG 2026 Candidates
Students who had not yet submitted or finalised their college preferences for Round 2 now have until September 11 to do so. The extension applies to both MBBS and BDS seats under the state’s Centralised Admission Process.
Candidates are advised to log in to the Maharashtra state medical counselling portal, review available seats carefully, and submit their preference list before the revised deadline closes.
What Candidates Should Do Before the Deadline
- Log in to the official Maharashtra medical counselling portal with your registered credentials.
- Review the seat matrix and available colleges for MBBS and BDS courses.
- Add and arrange college preferences in order of priority.
- Save and confirm the final preference list before September 11.
- Download or note the confirmation for future reference.
What Comes After Preference Submission
Once the preference window closes on September 11, the state authority will process allotments for CAP Round 2 based on NEET UG 2026 merit and submitted preferences. Candidates should watch the official portal for the Round 2 allotment result and report dates.
Students are advised to act promptly and not wait until the last hour, as portal traffic typically rises sharply near deadlines.
