Maharashtra NEET UG Counselling Domicile Criteria
Maharashtra is a “closed” state in NEET UG counselling, meaning its state counselling process primarily serves the Maharashtra domiciled candidates for the 85% state quota counselling. Only the 15% AIQ is “Open” and is conducted separately by the MCC.
As per the eligibility criteria for state counselling of Maharashtra NEET, non-domicile candidates cannot claim seats in Maharashtra. Only those candidates who are domicile of Maharashtra based on the domicile via self/parents, schooling/residence-based types, or specified administrative categories are eligible for the state counselling.
Impact on Maharashtra NEET UG Counselling Round 3 Schedule
The round 3 registrations of Maharashtra NEET counselling 2025 were available from October 6 to 8, 2025. As per the earlier released schedule, the choice filling for round 3 can be done till October 14, 2025 and the seat allotment result to be published on October 17.
However, with the irregularities in the documents submitted for the round 3 Maharashtra NEET counselling registration, the authority has given a deadline of October 16 to submit the correct documents. Due to this re-verification of documents, it is very likely that the counselling schedule for the Maharashtra NEET round 3 will be revised soon.
