16.MBBS Admission in Maharashtra — FAQs
How can I get MBBS admission in a private medical college in Maharashtra?
Qualify NEET UG and participate in the applicable Maharashtra counselling process. Admission depends on NEET merit, eligibility, seat availability and the rules applicable to the college and quota.
Can students from other states apply for MBBS in Maharashtra?

Can I get MBBS through NRI Quota in Maharashtra?
Eligible NRI/NRI Ward candidates can compete for Institutional Quota seats under the applicable rules, with NRI status claimed in the application and the required supporting documents.

What are the MBBS fees in Maharashtra private colleges?
Fees vary by college and quota. The reference includes separate State, Institutional/Management and NRI figures, so candidates should compare the exact quota they are eligible for rather than using one general fee number.

Are deemed university MBBS admissions handled by Maharashtra CET Cell?
