What Is the Maharashtra NEET UG Revised Merit List?
The revised merit list is an updated version of the provisional merit list. After the provisional list is published, registered candidates get a window to raise grievances if they spot errors in their name, category, gender, marks, NEET details, or reservation status. Once the CET Cell reviews these grievances and makes approved corrections, it publishes the revised (and eventually the final) merit list. This revised rank is what will actually be used going forward in the counselling process, so candidates should check it carefully rather than relying on their provisional rank.

How to Correct Errors or Raise a Grievance
If a candidate notices a genuine error in their details on the merit list, the CET Cell allows corrections through a structured grievance process:
- Grievances must be submitted only through the candidate login on the official portal - email requests are not accepted.
- A candidate can submit only one grievance, but it can include multiple corrections in a single submission.
- Once submitted, a grievance cannot be edited or deleted, so details should be checked carefully before submitting.
- Supporting documents must be uploaded to justify each requested correction; no changes are made without valid proof.
Since the revised list follows the resolution of grievances from the provisional stage, check whether your reported corrections have actually been reflected before proceeding to choice filling.
What Happens After the Revised Merit List?
Based on the currently available schedule, the process after the revised merit list moves in this order:
- CET Cell finalises and publishes the final merit list and seat matrix for Group A courses.
- Eligible candidates proceed to choice filling, where they select and lock their preferred colleges and courses in order of preference.
- The CET Cell processes Round 1 seat allotment based on merit rank, category, and choices filled.
- Allotted candidates report to their allotted college with original documents within the notified reporting period.
Important Instructions for Candidates
- Check your revised rank, category, and personal details carefully - do not assume the provisional list details automatically carried over correctly.
- Keep your login credentials (Application ID and password) ready and secure, as they are needed at every stage of counselling.
- Complete choice filling within the notified window; missing the deadline can affect your seat allotment chances.
- Keep scanned copies of all original documents ready in advance for the reporting stage.
- Rely only on the official CET Cell portal for dates and updates, since this schedule has been revised multiple times already.
