MUMBAI – The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell has disqualified 220 candidates from MBBS and BDS admissions for the Maharashtra NEET UG 2025 round 3 counselling and subsequent admission processes. Officials cited fake, wrong, or missing documents as reasons for the disqualifications.
The CET Cell barred 170 students who uploaded incorrect or invalid documents and another 50 students who failed to upload any documents. These candidates cannot participate in current or future admission rounds.
Disqualification Details and Process
The disqualification action follows earlier investigations. The CET Cell initially identified 152 MBBS aspirants who had uploaded forged certificates to block seats. Following this, officials found an additional 171 aspirants with incorrect documents and 108 who had uploaded no documents at all.
The CET Cell issued notices to these students, requiring them to re-upload original documents by a set deadline. Of those notified, only one candidate submitted correct documents. The remaining 170 from the ‘wrong documents’ group and 50 from the ‘no documents’ group failed to comply. This resulted in the final disqualification of 220 candidates.
The Supreme Court previously directed state authorities and the National Medical Commission (NMC) to take strict action against individuals involved in malpractices and seat-blocking.
