Maharashtra NEET UG Round 2 Virtual Vacancy List 2026 Released

The State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell, Maharashtra, has released the Virtual Vacancy list for NEET UG Round 2 counselling 2026, dated September 8, 2026. The document covers MBBS and BDS seat availability across all participating government, semi-government, and private medical and dental colleges in the state, and is meant to guide candidates ahead of the next round of choice filling.

What Is a Virtual Vacancy List?

As clarified in the official notice, virtual vacancies represent seats that are currently occupied by candidates who have not filled the status retention form and are therefore likely to move on or opt out in the next round. This list gives candidates a preview of seats that may open up, helping them plan their choices more strategically for Round 2 counselling.

Key Highlights of the Round 2 Virtual Vacancy List

• The list spans 93 colleges across Maharashtra, covering both MBBS and BDS courses.
• A total of 65 medical colleges are listed for MBBS, showing a combined virtual vacancy of 5,739 seats.
• A total of 28 dental colleges are listed for BDS, showing a combined virtual vacancy of 944 seats.
• Altogether, the notice accounts for approximately 6,683 virtual vacancy seats across both courses.
• Seats are broken down college-wise and category-wise, covering quotas such as OPEN, OBC, SC, ST, EWS, SEBC, NT-B/C/D, VJ, PWD, and various defense and orphan categories, along with their women’s reservation sub-quotas.

Colleges With the Highest Virtual Vacancies

Some of the colleges showing the highest number of virtual vacancy seats in this round include Indira Gandhi Government Medical College, Nagpur; Dr. Ulhas Patil Medical College, Jalgaon; Dr. V.M. Medical College, Solapur; Shri Vasantrao Naik Government Medical College, Yavatmal; and Government Medical College, Akola – each showing seats well above 130 in the virtual vacancy count.

Why This List Is Important for Candidates

For NEET UG aspirants participating in Maharashtra’s state counselling, the virtual vacancy list is a crucial planning tool. Since these seats may or may not be finally vacated depending on whether the current allottees confirm their retention, candidates should:

• Use the list only as an indicative guide, not a confirmed vacancy count
• Cross-check category-wise seat availability for their preferred colleges before filling choices
• Keep track of the final vacancy list, which is usually published closer to the choice-filling deadline
• Regularly visit the official Maharashtra CET Cell website for updates on Round 2 schedule and further notices
