How to Apply for Maharashtra NEET UG Counselling 2025

Students should follow these steps carefully to ensure their registration goes smoothly:

  • Visit cetcell.mahacet.org and go to the NEET UG section.
    This is the official portal for all tasks, and because of that, you must rely on it for every step.

  • Click on New Registration and enter personal and NEET details.
    Moreover, students should double-check these entries since even small errors can cause problems later.

  • Pay the counselling registration fee online.
    Additionally, payment must be made through a secure method like UPI, debit card, or credit card.

  • Upload scanned documents as required.
    Because clarity is important, every document must be readable and should meet the portal’s size rules.

  • After login, fill your course and college preferences.
    Furthermore, students should think carefully about the order of their choices, as this will affect allotment.

  • Finally, lock your choices before the deadline.
    Once locked, no changes are allowed, and so students should confirm every entry before submission.

 

Documents Required for Maharashtra NEET UG Counselling

Students will need the following documents for both uploading and later verification:

  • NEET 2025 scorecard and admit card.
    These are needed to confirm your exam performance and eligibility.

  • Class 10 and 12 marksheets.
    Additionally, these provide proof of your academic history and age.

  • Domicile certificate (for Maharashtra students).
    Because seats are reserved for state candidates, this certificate is mandatory.

  • Category certificate (if applicable).
    Furthermore, students applying under reserved categories must upload correct certificates for benefits.

  • ID proof like Aadhaar, passport, or voter ID.
    This helps verify your identity during admission and counselling.

  • Passport-size photo.
    It is important to upload a photo with good lighting and a clear background.

    Some students, for instance, may need disability or minority certificates for consideration.

    Hence more opportunities for every eligible student.

    Because of this, active participation and careful planning are essential.

 

What to Do After Maharashtra NEET Counselling Round 1

    This will serve as proof of your seat, and you must show it at the college.

  • Report to the allotted college between August 8–12 with all original documents.
    Furthermore, reporting on time is crucial because delays could lead to losing your seat.
