Close to 1250 MBBS seats will be up for grabs in the second round of medical college admissions conducted by Maharashtra’s Common Entrance Test (CET) cell. Most of the seats available in the second round of admission will likely be from the NRI quota. According to estimates close to one-third of the total 1250 seats part of the second round of admission will be from the NRI quota. This means only 750 seats will be available for the admission of normal students.
The MBBS seats across Maharashtra medical colleges will also include the 735 seats left vacant after the first round of admission. Additionally, 420 of the 670 seats which were previously awaiting approval from the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS), and 85 seats of the newly approved Sindhudurg College will also be part of the admission round, reported a leading news daily.
