Maharashtra ends institutional rounds for private medical colleges, tightens rules against seat blocking

Maharashtra government ends institutional rounds for private medical and dental colleges, bringing all seats under the CET Cell's centralized CAP counselling.

Candidates who skip seats allotted in the final round face a two-year admission ban from undergraduate medical and dental courses in Maharashtra.

The existing free-exit provision after the first counselling round remains unchanged.

The reforms aim to curb seat blocking and improve transparency in the admission process.
