Source: NMC Final UG Seat Matrix (03-12-2025) · MH-CET Cell Official Notification · MCC AIQ Brochure 2025-26 · NBE NEET PG 2026. Last updated: 30 June 2026.

This page covers hostel facilities for Maharashtra NEET UG 2026, prepared by Future Education. Maharashtra medical admission is conducted by the State CET Cell (MH-CET Cell / DMER) for the 85% state quota, while the 15% All India Quota is handled by MCC. Start with the Maharashtra counselling overview, check the important dates, confirm your eligibility and domicile status, then complete the application form and pay the registration fee. Before choice filling, study the college-wise cutoff, category-wise cutoff and previous-year cutoff trends, and compare top government colleges against private and deemed options. Understand the seat allotment process, reporting, upgradation, free exit and resignation rules, plus the compulsory service bond and refund policy. Reserved-category applicants should review EWS, OBC, SC, ST and PwD quotas alongside the full reservation policy and the AIQ vs state quota split. For fees and funding, see college-wise fees, hostel facilities, scholarships and education loan options, and use the NEET college predictor to estimate your chances. All NEET UG 2026 figures below are marked awaiting official confirmation until the official notification is released; previous-year (2025) data is labelled accordingly.

Every Maharashtra sub-topic is interlinked so you can move from data to decision quickly. From here you can jump to seat matrix analysis, vacant seats, round-wise cutoff, marks vs college, rank vs college, and rank-band shortlists such as colleges under 10,000 rank or score bands like colleges under 600 marks. You can also compare government vs private and deemed vs private colleges, or read the common counselling mistakes to avoid losing a seat. For live help, use free expert guidance, the helpline, or grievance redressal. Related national guides: choice filling, mop-up round, document checklist and NEET PG 2026.
