Maharashtra BSc Nursing Final Merit List 2026 Due Today: CAP Round 1 Choice Filling Starts September 12
Maharashtra BSc Nursing Counselling 2026: Candidates who registered for the state's B.Sc Nursing Centralised Admission Process are waiting for the final merit list and CAP Round 1 seat matrix scheduled for September 11, 2026.
The final list follows the provisional merit stage and a grievance window that closed on September 8.
Once the final state merit list and seat matrix are available, candidates will move immediately into Round 1 choice filling from September 12 to September 14, followed by the first seat allotment on September 15.
Current-status note: The official schedule fixes September 11 as the publication date. Candidates should use the CET Cell admission portal to confirm when the actual PDF link becomes active rather than assuming “out” simply because the date has arrived.
