Why This Matters for Candidates

The provisional seat matrix gives NEET UG candidates a detailed, category-wise picture of how many seats are actually available at each college before they proceed to fill their choices for Round 2. Since the numbers can still change, candidates should:

• Match their category (SC/ST/VJ/NT/OBC/SEBC/EWS/OPEN) and any applicable sub-quota (women, PWD, orphan, defense, minority) against the specific college and course
• Track the difference between institute quota and state quota seats where applicable
• Keep checking the official CET Cell portal for the final seat matrix closer to the choice-filling deadline
• Read the seat matrix together with the previously released Virtual Vacancy list to get a fuller picture of expected seat movement in Round 2
