Maharashtra CET Cell Adds Medical Seats For CAP Round 2
Maharashtra is adding seats from three private medical colleges to the second admission round.
Students will use the state’s CET admission process to apply.
The report says 400 seats are for MBBS and 100 are for BDS.
These numbers add up to 500 seats, even though the report says 550 seats are being added.
Forty percent of the seats will be for students from Maharashtra.
The other 60% will be open at the All-India level.
Fifteen percent of that All-India portion will be reserved for NRI students.
Students are being told to read the official instructions before choosing their preferences.
The Maharashtra State CET Cell will include seats from three private medical institutions in CAP Round 2.
The institutions are NKP Salve Institute of Medical Sciences, Dr Vithalrao Vikhe Patil Foundation’s Medical College, and Ranjeet Deshmukh Medical College.
The report says 400 seats are for MBBS and 100 are for BDS, totaling 500 seats, although it describes the overall addition as 550 seats.
