How Was the First Selection List Prepared?
It must be noted that the Round 1 allotment or the first selection list for Maharashtra AYUSH admissions 2026 is not merely a list of candidates in the order of their NEET UG 2026 merit. Since the counselling process takes into account the eligibility and reservation criteria of the state, the number of available seats and the candidates' preferences, it is essential for the candidates to look out for their specific course and college allotment rather than their NEET UG merit.
The Maharashtra CET Cell had uploaded the Maharashtra AYUSH seat matrix prior to choice-filling, on the basis of which the candidates could view the available seats and fill their preferences.
