Maharashtra BAMS/BHMS/BUMS CAP Round 3 Revised Schedule 2026 Out

The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell has released the revised schedule for CAP Round 3 for BAMS, BHMS and BUMS admissions for the 2026-27 academic year. Both notices are dated October 27, 2026. One covers the Group B courses and the other covers the 15% All India Quota (AIQ) seats in private unaided and minority colleges. In the Group B notice, the last date for filling preferences has been extended to October 29, 2026, up to 12:00 noon.

Why the Schedule Was Revised

The CET Cell said that the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS), Nashik, and the Directorate of AYUSH told it that a few more colleges have been permitted to take part in the 2026-27 admission process. The earlier schedules were therefore revised. The notices refer to MUHS letters dated October 26, 2026, and a letter from the Commissioner, Medical Education, Research & AYUSH, dated October 27, 2026.
