📘 Introduction: Maharashtra’s Medical Dreams Taking Shape
The Maharashtra NEET UG Counselling 2025 has reached a decisive phase — the CAP Rounds (Centralized Admission Process) under the Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DMER) are currently in progress.
Thousands of aspiring doctors across the state are closely watching every update as Round 2 results are about to be released, followed by a fresh seat matrix that will reshape admission possibilities for MBBS aspirants.
For many students, this moment marks the bridge between years of preparation and their dream of wearing a white coat. Campus Yug brings you a detailed, expert-driven guide to help you understand what’s happening right now and what’s coming next.
🩵 Current Status (October 2025): What’s Happening Right Now
- ✅ CAP Round 2 result is expected to be released soon on the official website cetcell.mahacet.org.
- 🧾 Fresh seat matrix for Round 3 will follow immediately after Round 2 reporting ends.
- 🏛️ DMER is conducting ongoing verification and college reporting for Round 2 allotments.
- 📢 New MBBS seats approved by NMC across multiple Maharashtra colleges for 2025–26 session.
This is a crucial window for aspirants — as seats left vacant in Round 2 will reappear in Round 3, sometimes with changed categories or fee structures.
🧭 Understanding the CAP Process under DMER
The Centralized Admission Process (CAP) ensures a transparent and merit-based allocation of seats across all government, private, and minority medical colleges in Maharashtra.
Here’s how the CAP rounds work:
- Registration: Students register and verify documents on the DMER portal.
- Choice Filling: Aspirants fill their preferred colleges and courses.
- Seat Allotment: Based on NEET UG 2025 rank, category, and seat matrix.
- Result Declaration: Round-wise results published online.
- Reporting: Candidates must confirm their admission at the allotted college.
- Upgradation Option: Students can choose to upgrade their seat in the next round.
💡 Campus Yug Tip: Always verify your document status before each round. Missing even one verification step can block your seat upgradation in the next round.

🧾 Documents Checklist for CAP Round 2 & 3 Reporting
Before you head for document verification or reporting, ensure you have these ready:
