MUMBAI: State Common Entrance Test Cell, Maharashtra, has fixed 27 September for declaration of CAP Round-1 for BAMS, BHMS and BUMS courses (Group B) under NEET UG 2026. The date sits in Notice No.17 (No.MED-1026/CR.No.83/UG-2026/Group B & C/Revised Schedule/2295) dated 21 September, issued by the Commissioner of the State CET Cell, Mumbai. It follows Notice No.16 of 14 September, which covered registration for both groups. The CET Cell says the Group C schedule after registration had not been declared earlier and that some Group B dates had changed, so it has published an updated calendar for both.
Physical joining at the allotted college, with all original documents and fees by demand draft, runs from 28 September to 1 October up to 5:30 pm. On bank holidays, cheque payment may be accepted if replaced by DD on the next working day; failure to submit the DD can cancel the admission.
Group B is the state's AYUSH degree group: Ayurveda (BAMS), Homoeopathy (BHMS) and Unani (BUMS). Group C covers physiotherapy (BPTH), occupational therapy (BOTH), audiology and speech-language pathology (BASLP), prosthetics and orthotics (B P&O) and naturopathy and yogic sciences (BNYS). Both groups use NEET UG 2026 scores for admission through the CET Cell.
What led up to today's result
As per the revised Group B schedule, the registered candidate list and provisional merit list were published on 21 September after 8 pm. Grievances were taken from 22 September to noon on 23 September, and the notice made clear that no correction would be entertained without supporting documents. Final merit and seat matrix for Group B came on 24 September. Online choice filling ran from 24 to 26 September till 11:59 pm.
Candidates who locked preferences in that window should log into the medical2026.mahacet.org candidate portal on 27 September to see whether a seat was allotted.
Group C clock runs alongside
Notice No.17 also lays out the full Round-1 calendar for Group C, which covers BPTH, BOTH, BASLP, B P&O and BNYS. The registered candidate list and provisional merit list for Group C were published on 23 September, and grievances were accepted from 23 September to 10 pm on 24 September. The final merit list and seat matrix for Group C are set for 27 September, with online choice filling from 27 to 29 September up to 11:59 pm.
The CAP Round-1 result for Group C is due on 30 September, and physical joining at allotted colleges runs from 1 to 5 October up to 5:30 pm, with the same demand draft rule and bank-holiday cheque allowance as Group B. Candidates who applied under both groups will therefore be joining a Group B college by 1 October before their Group C result is out.
The CET Cell notes that the schedule is subject to change on the direction of authorities such as MCC, AACCC, the Central and State governments or the courts, and asks candidates to follow updates on its official website, www.mahacet.org. The notice is published in both English and Marathi, with the same schedule in each.
