Maharashtra Reports 138 Vacant MBBS and BDS Seats Amid Centralized Admissions
Maharashtra's 2026-27 MBBS and BDS admissions concluded with 138 seats vacant, primarily in private medical and dental colleges. All government MBBS seats were filled, while private institutions accounted for most vacancies—84 MBBS and 54 BDS seats remained unfilled. The state government centralized admissions through the CET Cell, eliminating institutional rounds to prevent irregularities. This marked a shift from previous years when no MBBS seats were vacant and only a few BDS seats remained unfilled, reflecting tighter admission controls and a smooth process without complaints.
