Mumbai – The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell has published the List of Rejected Candidates for NEET-UG-2026, dated 18/08/2026, identifying candidates who were rejected for not uploading and submitting the requisite documents within the prescribed time period as per the NEET-UG-2026 schedule.
Key Details
- List: List of Rejected Candidates
- Reason for rejection: Non-uploading/non-submission of documents within the schedule
- Date of publication: 18/08/2026
- Total pages: 21
- Total candidates on the list: 972
- Issuing authority: State Common Entrance Test Cell, Government of Maharashtra
What the List Contains
For each rejected candidate, the list provides:
- Sr. No. and NEET All India Rank (AIR)
- NEET Roll Number and CetCell Online Form Number
- Name of the candidate
- Gender
- Category (as filled by the candidate)
- NRI status (where applicable)
- Specified Reservation (PWD categories such as D1, D2, D3, or status like “Hilly Area,” “Orphan,” “PWD,” “MKB”)
Category Spread
The rejected candidates cut across all major category groups, including OPEN, OBC, SC, ST, SEBC, EWS, SBC, NT(B), NT(C), NT(D), and DT-VJ(A), indicating that the document-upload lapse affected candidates across categories rather than being concentrated in any one group.

Specified Reservation Cases
A number of candidates on the list also carry Specified Reservation markers such as D1, D2, D3 (PWD sub-categories), “PWD,” “Hilly Area,” “Orphan,” and “MKB” — meaning candidates claiming these special benefits were also rejected for failing to complete document submission within the deadline.
Why This Matters
Under the NEET-UG-2026 counselling process, candidates are required to upload supporting documents for their registration details within a fixed schedule. Failure to do so — regardless of NEET score or rank — results in rejection from the merit list process, as reflected in this list.
What Affected Candidates Should Do Next
- Candidates who find their names on this Rejected List should immediately check the reason for rejection against the official schedule and requirements.
- Refer to the CET Cell’s notices (including the separate notice on the grievance/objection procedure) to check if any window remains open for rectification.
- Keep all required documents ready and follow future CET Cell schedules/notices closely to avoid rejection in subsequent stages.
- Regularly check the official MAHACET website for updates, corrigenda, or any additional opportunity that may be notified.
Note: This is an official list published by the Maharashtra State CET Cell. Candidates should verify their status and any further instructions directly on the official MAHACET website (www.mahacet.org).
