The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test Cell has published the NEET UG 2026 Online Stray Vacancy Round 2 provisional selection list for MBBS and BDS admissions on 23 October 2026. The official PDF runs 503 pages and carries every allotted candidate’s NEET All India Rank, CET application number, selection category and allotted college.
There is one catch you cannot afford to miss: if your name is on this list, you must physically report to the allotted college, submit your original documents, pay the fees and complete the Status Retention Form by 24 October 2026, 5:30 PM. That is barely a day from the list going live. Everything else can wait – this deadline cannot.

How to Check Your Allotment in the 503-Page PDF
Do not try reading it page by page. Open the PDF and press Ctrl+F (or the find option on your phone) and search for your CET application number – names repeat across candidates, application numbers do not. Once you find your row, note three things carefully: the allotted college, your selection category, and the quota it was allotted under. A mismatch between the category shown and your actual documents is exactly the kind of thing colleges flag during verification, so check it now, not at the admission counter.
What You Must Do Before 24 October, 5:30 PM
The revised counselling schedule gives you roughly one working day. Here is the realistic order of operations:
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Download the selection list PDF and confirm your allotment details |
| 2 | Gather original documents – NEET UG 2026 admit card and scorecard, Class 10 and 12 marksheets and certificates, domicile/category certificates if applicable, photo ID, and recent photographs |
| 3 | Arrange the admission fee – check the fee structure of your allotted college on the official portal before you travel |
| 4 | Travel to the allotted college and report in person |
| 5 | Submit documents, pay the fee, and sign the Status Retention Form |
The Status Retention Form – Why It Matters
Of all the paperwork, this is the one candidates underestimate. The Status Retention Form is your formal declaration that you are accepting and retaining the allotted seat. Once you sign it, your counselling journey for this cycle effectively ends – you are out of any further rounds, including Stray Vacancy Round 3. That is good news if this is the college you wanted. But if you were hoping for an upgrade in Round 3, think before you sign: accepting here means forgoing whatever Round 3 might offer.
What If You Missed the Deadline – or Your Name Is Not on the List?
Do not assume the counselling is over. The revised schedule published by the CET Cell also includes a Stray Vacancy Round 3, which will fill seats left vacant after this round – including seats forfeited by candidates who fail to report. Keep watching the official counselling portal for the Round 3 schedule and registration window. Every year, a meaningful number of stray-round seats change hands simply because allottees could not reach their college in time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I download the official selection list PDF?
Use the Download link in the Important Links table below – it points to the official 503-page PDF hosted by the CET Cell’s counselling portal.
Is physical reporting mandatory, or can I report online?
Physical reporting at the allotted institution is mandatory. You must be present with original documents.
What happens if I report after 5:30 PM on 24 October?
Your allotment stands cancelled and the seat passes to the next round. The deadline is enforced by the college admission counter, not by an online form.
I got a seat but wanted a better college in Round 3. What should I do?
Signing the Status Retention Form ends your participation in further rounds. If you do not report, you lose this seat but may still be eligible for Round 3 as per the counselling rules – read the official Round 3 instructions carefully before deciding.
How do I know my admission is confirmed?
Only after the college verifies your originals, accepts the fee, and takes your Status Retention Form. Ask for and keep the admission receipt – that paper is your proof.
