Maharashtra NEET PG 2026 Orthopedics Closing Merit List: Check Rank Trends
Maharashtra NEET PG aspirants seeking an MS Orthopedics seat can use previous-year State Merit List (SML) closing ranks to compare college-level competition across counselling rounds. These figures are useful for planning preferences, but they are historical data—not the Maharashtra NEET PG 2026 closing ranks.
The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test Cell conducts state counselling for postgraduate medical seats. The 2026 counselling schedule listed the provisional merit list for October 28 and the final provisional State Merit List for November 1. Candidates should check the CET Cell portal for current notices, merit lists and seat-allotment updates.
Previous-Year Maharashtra Orthopedics Closing Ranks
The table below presents selected closing SML figures from the published previous-year round-wise tables. The Round 1 table is identified as open-category data. Rank movement can reflect seat availability, candidate upgrades and choices, so it should not be treated as a prediction for the current cycle.
| College | Round 1 closing SML | Round 2 closing SML | Round 3 closing SML |
|---|---|---|---|
| GSMC | 326 | 381 | 446 |
| GMC, Mumbai | 381 | 446 | 972 |
| GMC, Sambhajinagar | 508 | 570 | 979 |
| Vedanta Medical College | 1,886 | 2,814 | 4,013 |
| Sancheti Institute | 1,485 | 1,933 | 2,940 |
The listed figures show that closing ranks varied considerably between colleges. In this sample, the closing SML at GMC, Mumbai moved from 381 in Round 1 to 972 in Round 3, while Vedanta Medical College moved from 1,886 to 4,013. A later-round closing rank may extend further as seats become available, but it does not guarantee admission for a candidate with a similar position in 2026.
How to Use the Rank Trends
- Compare your Maharashtra SML with the relevant course, category and seat type in the official list.
- Review the current seat matrix and round-specific choice-filling rules before selecting colleges.
- Use historical ranks to build a range of preferences rather than relying on one cutoff figure.
- After allotment, follow the official reporting dates and document instructions for the assigned seat.
