The clock is already running. The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test Cell has released the BSc Nursing CAP Round 3 provisional selection list for the 2026-27 academic session, and selected candidates have until October 27 to turn that selection into an admission. The list went up on October 23, and physical reporting at allotted colleges runs from October 24 to October 27.
Candidates who took part in Round 3 can check the list on the official CET Cell portal. Look for the BSc Nursing admission section and the notice titled Provisional Selection List for BSc Nursing Course CAP Round 3. Download the allotment details and keep a copy, since the reporting college will ask for them.
Reporting to the allotted college
A name on the selection list is only the first step. Admission is completed at the college, in person, with original documents and the requisite fees. Candidates should report to the college named in their allotment and finish document verification, fee payment and the other admission formalities before the window closes.
The papers to carry are the CAP Round 3 allotment letter, the MH BSc Nursing CET 2026 scorecard, Class 10 and Class 12 marksheets and certificates, the application form, a valid government-issued photo identity proof, and a medical fitness certificate. Category, domicile or nationality certificates apply where relevant. Colleges can ask for papers beyond this standard set, so read the instructions in the allotment letter before travelling. Our admission documents checklist runs through the standard papers so nothing is missing at the verification counter.
The Status Retention Form deadline
One form deserves attention on its own. Candidates must fill the Status Retention Form at the allotted college by October 27, 2026. The form records that the candidate is keeping the allotted seat rather than waiting for a later round.
The CET Cell has been clear about what happens otherwise. A candidate who does not submit the original documents and pay the fees within the stipulated time loses the selection. The seat then goes back into the pool for the next stage of counselling. With the deadline falling on a single date for both reporting and the retention form, it is worth finishing both in the same visit rather than leaving either to the last hours.
State counselling like this runs on its own track, separate from central counselling for other courses. Our guide to central, state and private universities explains how the two tracks differ, which matters when a candidate is also watching a central list.
Admission to Maharashtra BSc Nursing colleges through this process is based on the candidate’s rank in the MH Nursing CET. The selection list reflects those ranks and the choices filled for Round 3. Candidates who find their names on it should treat October 27 as a hard stop, not a soft target, and check the CET Cell portal for any fresh notice before reporting.
