Mumbai: The cut-off for MBBS admissions at private medical colleges in Maharashtra has dropped to 443 marks in the third round, while the open-category cut-off at govt colleges remains at 534. At the newly established NKP Salve private medical university, the cut-off has fallen to 218 marks after seats under the NRI quota were converted into the All India Quota (AIQ).
The State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell on Sunday released the third merit list for admissions for the 2026-27 academic year, offering seats to 8,811 students against 8,814 available.
Two private medical universities had announced the conversion of NRI quota seats into AIQ seats, leading students to expect that these seats would be available at the AIQ fee of Rs 17 lakh. However, colleges are demanding Rs 35 lakh in NRI fees for these seats, creating confusion among applicants.
All 5,065 seats across 43 govt medical colleges and all 3,299 seats across 25 private medical colleges have been allotted. Of the 450 seats across two private medical universities, 447 have been allotted.
