The dates for **Maharashtra NEET PG Counselling 2025 Round 1** have been changed. Students applying for postgraduate medical courses in Maharashtra will now have more time for choice filling. The new deadline for choice filling and locking choices is **November 29, 2025**, until **11:59 PM**. The seat allotment result will be announced on **December 1, 2025**.
This change was made by the **CET Cell Maharashtra**. The main reason for this revision is that the **Medical Counselling Committee (MCC)**, a national body, updated its schedule for state quota counselling on **November 25, 2025**. To match the national timeline, Maharashtra's counselling dates for the first round (CAP-1) were also adjusted.
What is NEET PG Counselling?
NEET PG stands for National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Postgraduate. It is an exam for doctors who want to study further and specialise in subjects like MD (Doctor of Medicine) or MS (Master of Surgery), or get a PG Diploma. After passing the NEET PG exam, candidates go through a counselling process to get a seat in medical colleges.
The counselling process helps students choose their preferred medical colleges and specialisations based on their NEET PG scores. The CET Cell Maharashtra handles this process for seats in Maharashtra's state medical colleges.

Choice Filling and Locking

Seat Allotment Result
After choice filling, the CET Cell Maharashtra will process all the choices and NEET PG scores. They will then announce which college and course each student has been allotted. This list, known as the Selection List for CAP Round 1, will be released on **December 1, 2025**.
Reporting to Institutes
If a student is happy with the seat they have been allotted, they must report to that medical college. This step confirms their admission. Students need to go to the college, submit their documents, and complete other admission formalities. The time to do this is from **December 2, 2025**, to **December 6, 2025**. They must complete this process by **5:30 PM** on **December 6**.
