⚖️ College Comparison

Understanding MBBS Seat Allocation

How Are MBBS Seats Divided Between MCC & Maharashtra CAP?

After NEET results are declared, seats are allocated through two parallel counselling streams — central (MCC) and state (the Maharashtra CET Cell). Understanding which seats fall under which authority determines where and how you apply.

🇮🇳 Central Counselling

MCC — Medical Counselling Committee

Conducts counselling for All India Quota (AIQ) — 15% of govt college seats open to students from any state. Also handles AIIMS, JIPMER, AFMC, Deemed Universities, Central Universities.

Ministry of Health, Govt. of India · mcc.nic.in
🏛️ State Counselling

Maharashtra CET Cell

Conducts CAP counselling for 85% State Quota seats in govt colleges, plus State Quota seats in private colleges too — with roughly 15% of private-college seats reserved as Institute Quota, filled through All-India CAP including NRI/OCI candidates.

📌 Note: Percentages are of seats within each college type and are approximate — the exact split varies slightly by college and is finalised in each year's seat matrix. AIQ exists only in Government colleges (15% of govt seats go to MCC). Private colleges have no AIQ — all their seats are counselled by the Maharashtra CET Cell. This predictor's rank-based Seat Predictor covers State Quota seats (government colleges + most private-college seats) — the track any Maharashtra NEET candidate can compete for by rank. Institute Quota cutoff data is also included and browsable in the College Explorer, but it's excluded from rank-based predictions since Institute Quota is filled via All-India CAP merit rather than the state-rank list used here.

💡 Key Points for Maharashtra Students
✓ If you get an MCC AIQ seat in R1 or R2, you must join or lose eligibility for state counselling.
✓ This predictor covers Maharashtra State Quota only — the 85% government-college seats plus most private-college seats.
✓ Maharashtra runs a 30% horizontal women's reservation within every category — that's why this predictor asks for gender.
✓ Category C / NRI seats (~15% of private seats) are excluded from rank-based Seat Predictor results since eligibility depends on NRI/OCI sponsor status — but their cutoff data is available in the College Explorer.

Maharashtra NEET Category Reference

Maharashtra NEET Reservation Categories Explained

In Maharashtra CAP MBBS counselling, every seat is tagged with a category code plus gender. Your eligibility depends on your caste certificate and gender, since Maharashtra runs a 30% horizontal women's reservation within every category. Understanding these codes — what they mean and which seats they unlock — is critical for effective choice-filling. Below is a complete reference for all category codes.

🔑 How Maharashtra Category Codes Work
Base Reservation category — OPEN, SC, ST, VJ/DT-A, NT-B, NT-C, NT-D, OBC, SEBC or EWS
-M / -F Gender — Maharashtra runs a 30% horizontal women's reservation within every category, so cutoffs differ substantially by gender
State Quota ~85% of seats — government-regulated fees, allotted by the Maharashtra CET Cell on rank + category + gender
Institute Quota ~15% of private-college seats — filled through All-India CAP including NRI/OCI, at college-set fees, browsable in the College Explorer
🎓 Open Category

OPEN

Open Category

Open to all eligible candidates regardless of caste or community. The most competitive category — seats filled purely on NEET merit within the State Quota.

All CommunitiesState Quota
📋 Backward Class & Economically Weaker Categories

OBC

Other Backward Class

Reserved seats for candidates from communities notified as Other Backward Class by the central/state OBC lists. OBC candidates are also automatically eligible for OPEN seats of the same gender if their rank qualifies.

OBC

SEBC

Socially & Educationally Backward Class

Maharashtra's own state-notified backward class category, distinct from the central OBC list. SEBC candidates can also compete for OPEN seats within the same gender.

SEBC

EWS

Economically Weaker Section

Reserved for candidates from the general (unreserved) category whose family income falls below the EWS threshold, on production of a valid EWS certificate.

EWS
🏕️ Vimukta Jati & Nomadic Tribe Categories

VJ / DT-A

Vimukta Jati (Denotified Tribe) — Group A

Reserved seats for communities notified under Vimukta Jati (formerly "Denotified Tribes"), Group A, specific to Maharashtra's reservation structure.

ST Reserved
💡 Cross-Category Eligibility — How It Works
The Maharashtra CET Cell allows candidates in reserved categories to also compete for Open Category (OPEN) seats of the same gender, if their rank qualifies. For example, a SC Female candidate is eligible for: SC-F → OPEN-F seats. This predictor automatically calculates and shows all cross-eligible categories for your rank, category and gender.
FAQs

Common Questions

Based on actual CET Cell 2025 allotment data, G. S. Medical College (KEM), Mumbai closed its OPEN (Male) category at rank 971 in Round 1 and relaxed to rank 2,430 in Round 2, at a state fee of ₹1,62,100/year. Use the Category Cutoffs tab to compare OPEN, OBC, SC, ST and gender-specific horizontal-reservation cutoffs across every Maharashtra college.
Yes. In Maharashtra CAP counselling, candidates in SC, ST, VJ/DT-A, NT-B/C/D, OBC, SEBC or EWS categories can also bid for Open Category (OPEN) seats of the same gender if their rank qualifies — reservation is a floor, not a ceiling. This predictor automatically identifies and checks all eligible categories — each result card clearly shows whether it's your primary category or a cross-eligible OPEN seat.
State Quota seats are allocated by the Maharashtra CET Cell to Maharashtra-eligible candidates across all reservation categories, at government-regulated or MAHADBT-subsidised fees for eligible categories. Institute Quota covers roughly 15% of private-college seats, filled through All-India CAP including NRI/OCI candidates, at fees set by the college.
Maharashtra runs a 30% horizontal reservation for women within every category, alongside the regular (gender-neutral) quota for that same category. A woman is eligible for both — the reserved women's-quota seats (generally a more relaxed cutoff) and the regular seats in that category, where she competes against candidates of both genders. Men are only eligible for the regular quota. This predictor checks both pools automatically for female candidates and shows whichever gives a better result, which is why it asks for gender as a required field, unlike Karnataka's predictor on this site.
Both. For every category, female candidates are shown two results where eligible: the dedicated Women's Reserved quota cutoff, and the regular (gender-neutral) quota cutoff for the same category — real 2025 data confirms women were allotted seats under the regular quota too, not just the reserved one. Showing only the reserved-quota number would understate a strong female candidate's real options, so this predictor checks both and lets you compare.
These are Maharashtra's Nomadic Tribe and Vimukta Jati (Denotified Tribe) reservation groups — VJ/DT-A, NT-B, NT-C (which covers the Dhangar community) and NT-D (which covers the Vanjari community) — each a distinct, separately notified reservation category with its own seat allocation and cutoff. Candidates should verify their specific community's current group listing with the official Maharashtra Social Justice / Tribal Development Department notification, as that is the authoritative source.
OBC (Other Backward Class) follows the central government's OBC list. SEBC (Socially and Educationally Backward Class) is a separate, Maharashtra state-specific backward class category with its own notified community list and reservation percentage. The two are tracked and allotted as distinct categories in Maharashtra CAP counselling.
Institute Quota cutoff data is included in this site's College Explorer for every private college that has it — roughly 15% of private-college seats filled through All-India CAP, including NRI/OCI candidates. It's excluded from the rank-based Seat Predictor results, though, since Institute Quota is filled via a separate All-India merit process rather than the Maharashtra state-rank list used here — mixing it into normal rank-based results could wrongly suggest a general state candidate qualifies.
Yes — Maharashtra also runs smaller "specified reservation" streams layered on top of category and gender: Hilly Area (3%), Persons with Disability (PWD), Defence (DEF1/DEF2/DEF3, for children of defence personnel), Orphan candidates (1%), and MKB (Maharashtra-Karnataka Border area). These are smaller, separately tracked pools — this predictor's main Seat Predictor focuses on the core category + gender combinations, but cutoff data for these streams is visible per-college in the College Explorer.
