The MHT-CET 2009 results have been declared today. Students who got less than expected must file their requests for verification of marks within 4 days from today. The procedure for verification is outlined in the health science brochure Pg. 11. The list of “Divisional Authority” is given in Annexure A – pg 13 of the brochure.

This is a general outline of the admission process to health science courses after MHT-CET.

1. Declaration of final merit lists: Provisional merit lists are declared within 45 days of the MHT-CET exam. After settlement of any requests for verification of marks, the final merit list is declared, usually within a week from declaration of provisional merit list.
2. Issue of mock-copy of preference form and preference information brochure: During the next week, DMER issues notification in the press and website for filling up of preference forms. Students are requested to come at divisional centers with their original mark-sheet. A mock-copy of the preference form along with a preference information brochure is given to them. The preference information brochure contains information on important dates, preference form-filling instructions, declaration of selection round results, payment of fees, confirmation/cancellation of admission, service bond, etc.
3. Actual submission of preferences: SML-wise, batches of candidates are called to submit their preferences for courses and colleges.
4. Seat allocation rounds: After preferences of all students are collected and analyzed by the system, “seat allocation” lists(rounds) are declared.
5. Confirmation of admission: The candidate should contact the office of medical college where his seat has been allocated and confirm the admission by completing the formalities before due date.

Important to note:

If a student who is allocated a seat in the first selection round does not confirm his admission, the student will not be considered for next selction rounds, thus barring the student completely from the admission process. Thus, if a student gets admission in a less-preferred college, he must confirm the admission so that he will be considered for the next rounds for betterment.
