Maharashtra MBBS Admission 2026: Maha CET Counselling, FRA Fees, GMC Cutoffs & Closed-State Strategy

1. Is Maharashtra "Open" or "Closed" for MBBS in 2026? — The Audit's Most Important Correction

The single most damaging myth in Maharashtra MBBS guidance is the "open state" framing. Generic content sites assume that because non-domicile candidates can technically apply, Maharashtra is open. The 2026 reality is far more restrictive.

For Maharashtra-domicile students (advantage):

• 100% eligible for the 85% state quota at Government Medical Colleges (GMCs) at FRA-nominal rates (~₹1.35 L/year).
• 100% eligible for the 85% state quota at MUHS-affiliated private medical colleges at FRA-regulated rates of ₹7–12 L/year.
• Eligible for the EBC scholarship (50% reimbursement) and category-based fee concessions.

For non-domicile students (the harsh reality):

• Cannot apply for the 85% state quota at private colleges — the regulated ₹7–12 L/year rate is strictly off-limits.
• Eligible only for the 15% Institutional Quota / NRI Quota.
• FRA legally permits private colleges to charge 3 to 5 times the regular fee on Institutional Quota seats — pushing the annual tuition to ₹35–60 Lakh per year.
• Total Institutional Quota 4.5-year tuition: ₹1.5 Crore to ₹2.7 Crore, plus hostel, mess and miscellaneous.

Strategic implication: If you are a non-domicile candidate with a budget below ₹80 Lakh, do not target Maharashtra MUHS private colleges. Pivot to Karnataka P-Quota (~₹65–70 L all-in), UP UPDGME private (~₹78–95 L), or MCC Deemed Universities (DY Patil / MGM Maharashtra Deemeds at ₹1.1–1.4 Cr — still cheaper than the FRA Institutional Quota). Maharashtra is genuinely a Closed State for the regular private-fee tier.

2. The Maharashtra Medical Ecosystem — Three Distinct Tracks

Maharashtra's medical admission system is split into three structurally separate tracks. Confusing them is the most common mistake.

Track 1 — State (Maha CET Cell + MUHS)

• Authority: State Common Entrance Test Cell (Maha CET) — cetcell.mahacet.org.
• University: Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS), Nashik — affiliates the majority of state government and private medical colleges.
• Colleges: Government Medical Colleges (KEM, Sion, Nair, Grant, BJ Pune, GMC Nagpur, IGGMC, district GMCs) + MUHS-affiliated private medical colleges (Smt Kashibai Navale, MIMER Talegaon, Punjabrao Deshmukh Amravati, Ulhas Patil Jalgaon, NY Tasgaonkar Karjat, Krishna Karad, Padmashri Dr DY Patil Kolhapur, etc.).
• Quota: 85% State Quota (MH domicile) + 15% Institutional Quota / NRI / Open-to-non-domicile (FRA 3–5× regulated rate).

Track 2 — Deemed Universities (MCC)

• Authority: Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), Delhi — mcc.nic.in.
• Colleges: DY Patil Pune, DY Patil Mumbai (Navi Mumbai / Nerul), MGM Medical College Navi Mumbai, MGM Aurangabad, Bharati Vidyapeeth Pune, Bharati Vidyapeeth Sangli, Datta Meghe Wardha, Krishna Karad (Deemed wing), Pravara Loni — and others.
• Quota: 85% Management Quota + 15% NRI Quota. Zero state-domicile reservation. All seats nationwide.
• Fees: Regular Management Quota ~₹22–27 L/year. Total ~₹1.0–1.4 Cr 4.5-year tuition. Cheaper than Maharashtra FRA Institutional Quota for non-domicile candidates.

Track 3 — All India Quota (AIQ via MCC)

• Authority: MCC — same portal.
• What it covers: 15% of seats at Maharashtra GMCs are released to AIQ for nationwide candidates.
• Cutoffs: AIQ (15%) draws nationwide competition and is a separate, tighter merit list than the state quota at top Mumbai/Pune GMCs — among India's toughest cutoffs. Confirm the current AIQ closing rank on mcc.nic.in each round; do not rely on state-quota figures for AIQ planning.

3. Maharashtra MBBS GMC Cutoff 2026 (closing ranks) — Top Government Medical Colleges

Maharashtra GMCs offer world-class clinical exposure at near-nominal fees (~₹1.35 L/year tuition + hostel). Indicative 2026 Open-category state-quota cutoffs (closing ranks / NEET scores) are listed below. For full year-on-year college-wise closing ranks, open the individual college pages linked above or the Maharashtra NEET-UG counselling guide.

📌 In one line: official closing data — year/category labeled; verify the current round on the official portal.

Reserved category cutoffs run 50–100 marks lower depending on category. State-quota and All-India Quota (AIQ) closing scores are two separate merit lists and are not directly comparable — AIQ draws from nationwide competition and can close tighter or looser than the state list depending on the college and round. Always check the specific quota you are counselling under; see each college’s dedicated page (linked above) for its own state-quota closing figure.

3A. Complete Maharashtra Government Medical College Directory — Every District (2026)

Beyond the flagships above, Maharashtra now runs a government medical college in nearly every district — including a wave of new 100-seat colleges cleared through 2024. Every one admits purely on NEET-UG merit through the State CET Cell CAP rounds (85% state quota, Maharashtra domicile) plus the 15% All-India Quota via MCC, at near-nominal government fees. None has a management, NRI or donation seat. Here is the full district directory of GMCs that don't yet have a dedicated page on our site:

Seats and establishment years are indicative — the newest colleges phase in their intake, so confirm the current matrix on the DMER / Maharashtra State CET Cell portal before counselling. Important: these government colleges are distinct from similarly-named private colleges in the same cities — e.g. GMC Amravati ≠ Dr Panjabrao Deshmukh (PDMMC); RCSM GMC Kolhapur ≠ D. Y. Patil Kolhapur; GMC Aurangabad ≠ MGM Aurangabad; GMC Dhule ≠ ACPM Dhule.

4. FRA-Regulated Fee Structure — Maharashtra Private Medical Colleges 2026

The Fees Regulating Authority (FRA) Maharashtra publishes annual fee notifications for each MUHS-affiliated private medical college. State-quota fees range ₹7–12 L/year. Institutional Quota fees: 3–5× the regular rate. NMC public notice dated 7 Apr 2026 applies — course tuition chargeable only for the 4.5-year academic duration.

📌 In one line: fee structure — confirm the current-year official circular before payment.

Hostel + mess: ₹1.5–2.0 L/year (mandatory all 5.5 years). All-in 4.5-year cost for state-quota MH-domicile student typically ₹55–65 L. For non-domicile Institutional Quota: ₹1.5–2.7 Cr+. The 5× FRA multiplier is the single biggest reason Maharashtra is uneconomical for non-domicile candidates with non-NRI budgets.

5. Why the FRA 3–5× Multiplier Exists — and Why It Won't Change

The 3–5× Institutional Quota multiplier is not arbitrary. It reflects three structural realities:

1. Cross-subsidy mechanic: Maharashtra forces private colleges to offer 85% of seats at heavily-regulated state-quota rates. The 15% Institutional Quota effectively subsidises the 85% domicile pool. Take away the multiplier, and private colleges argue they cannot maintain NMC-mandated infrastructure.
2. Domicile-protection policy: Maharashtra explicitly prioritises MH-domicile candidates' access to private medical education. The 5× pricing gate ensures that out-of-state candidates with means can still enter, but cannot price-out domicile aspirants from the regulated pool.
3. Court-affirmed framework: The FRA's regulatory authority has been upheld in multiple Maharashtra High Court rulings since 2017. The 3–5× multiplier framework is legally settled, not subject to easy reform.

The practical consequence: non-domicile candidates with budgets ₹50 L–₹1 Cr are systematically locked out of Maharashtra MUHS privates. Their realistic options are MCC Deemeds (DY Patil, MGM Maharashtra Deemeds at ₹1.0–1.4 Cr total), or true open states (Karnataka P-Quota at ₹65–70 L, UP UPDGME at ₹78–95 L). This is the key insight: do not waste counselling effort on Maharashtra state private colleges if you are non-domicile under ₹1.5 Cr budget.

6. EBC Scholarship — The Rajarshi Shahu Maharaj Game-Changer

For Maharashtra-domicile mid-budget families, the EBC (Economically Backward Classes) scholarship is the single most consequential rule. Officially the Rajarshi Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj Fee Reimbursement Scheme.

Eligibility

• Maharashtra domicile certificate.
• Family annual income below ₹8,00,000 (verified by current-format Income Certificate from Tehsildar).
• Admission via state-quota CAP at MUHS-affiliated private medical college.
• Open / EBC category candidates (separate dedicated scheme).

The Benefit Math

• 50% tuition reimbursement by Maharashtra government directly to the college.
• Effective fee for EBC-eligible student at a ₹10 L/year college: only ₹5 L/year out-of-pocket.
• Total 4.5-year tuition outflow: ~₹22.5 L (vs ₹49 L without scholarship).

Other Category Concessions

• SC / ST candidates: Often 100% fee waiver under Government of India Post-Matric scholarship + Maharashtra state schemes combined.
• VJ / NT-1 / NT-2 / NT-3 / SBC candidates: Substantial reimbursement (50–75%) under separate state schemes.
• OBC candidates: Eligible if income criteria met.

Application Process

Apply on aaplesarkar.mahaonline.gov.in (or the latest official Maharashtra government scholarship portal) within 30 days of confirmed seat acceptance. Required: state-quota CAP allotment letter, Maharashtra domicile, current Income Certificate, caste certificate (if claiming category benefit), bank-account proof, Aadhaar.

Critical: The application is student-driven. Missing the 30-day window forfeits that academic year's reimbursement. Do not assume the college auto-files this for you.

7. Deemed Universities in Maharashtra — The MCC Route (Verified 2025-26 Fees from Official Dean-Signed PDFs)

Maharashtra hosts some of India's most respected Deemed Universities. They are entirely outside Maha CET Cell jurisdiction — 100% admission via central MCC Deemed Counselling at mcc.nic.in. Below table reflects verified 2025-26 Year-1 figures from each college's official Dean-signed fee circular or notification. Long-tail search comparisons: "cheapest deemed MBBS Maharashtra", "NIRF top deemed Maharashtra", "DPU vs BVMC Pune fee", "Maharashtra deemed MBBS USD NRI 2026", "women-only MBBS Maharashtra Pune Lavale":

📌 In one line: fee structure — confirm the current-year official circular before payment.

Cheapest MCC Deemed in Maharashtra: SMCW Pune at ₹10L Academic Fee (women-only, 10% compounded) is the most affordable Maharashtra deemed MBBS for female aspirants. Among co-ed deemeds, KVV Karad ₹24.5L Year-1 is the cheapest baseline, with PIMS Loni ₹19L flat for 3 years (then +15%) being the most affordable for rural-clinical exposure. Highest NRI fee: PIMS Loni USD 1,11,760/year — nearly 3x DPU Pimpri Pune (USD 60,000). For non-domicile candidates with ₹1.0-1.4 Cr budgets, MCC-route Maharashtra Deemeds are uniformly cheaper than the FRA Institutional Quota at MUHS state privates (which can hit 5x multiplier).

8. The Maha CET Cell Counselling Process 2026 — Step by Step

1. NEET-UG 2026 result: Mid-June 2026.
2. Maha CET registration opens: Late June at cetcell.mahacet.org. Registration fee ~₹1,000 (Open) / ₹500 (reserved). Refundable security deposit applicable for Institutional Quota.
3. Document upload: Color scans of Maharashtra domicile, SSC + HSC marksheets, NEET admit + scorecard, Caste Certificate + Caste Validity Certificate (CVC), Non-Creamy Layer (NCL) certificate (must be valid up to March 31, 2027), EWS certificate (Maharashtra state format only — NOT central format), Income Certificate (for EBC), Aadhaar, photo ID, medical fitness certificate (CET Cell prescribed Annexure).
4. State Merit List (SML) publication: Mid-July. Choice-filling is governed by SML rank, not All India Rank — internalise this distinction.
5. CAP Round 1 — Single Preference Form Lock: The Maharashtra-specific quirk. You typically fill your preference form ONCE before CAP Round 1. This single ranked list governs allotment for ALL subsequent rounds. Arrange colleges strictly from most-preferred to least-preferred. Errors here cannot be undone in Round 2 or 3.
6. Round 1 allotment: Late July / early August.
7. Status Retention Decision:
   • Sign Status Retention Form: If satisfied with allotted college. You join, pay, exit further CAP. Final lock.
   • Do NOT sign: If you want to upgrade. You join Round 1 seat AND remain in upgrade pool for Round 2.
8. CAP Round 2 (Upgrade + Fresh): Mid-August. Higher-preference seats reallocated to Round-1 holders + fresh allotments to vacancy candidates.
9. CAP Round 3 / Mop-up: Early September. Stray vacancies filled.
10. Stray Vacancy / Online Round: Late September — 100% online per Supreme Court mandate. Zero offline spot admission.

The Maharashtra-specific risk: The single-preference-form rule means choice-filling errors compound. Take 48–72 hours of careful research before locking your preference form. Map every college against your projected SML rank using last cycle's closing-rank PDFs. Do not trust agent verbal advice for preference-order — the system is software-based and unforgiving.

9. Document Strictness — The Maha CET Trap

Maha CET Cell's document scrutiny is the most ruthless among Indian state medical-counselling authorities. Common failure modes:

• NCL certificate validity expired before March 31, 2027: Reserved category candidate is INSTANTLY converted to Open category. No appeals. Renew NCL well before CET registration if your current certificate expires before March 2027.
• Caste Validity Certificate (CVC) not produced: Mandatory for SC/ST/VJ/NT/SBC. Without CVC, candidate is shifted to Open category — same penalty as expired NCL.
• EWS certificate in Central Government format: Maharashtra state-quota EWS allotment requires the Maharashtra state-format EWS certificate. Central GOI format is invalid for state quota. Re-apply on aaplesarkar.mahaonline.gov.in if needed.
• Domicile certificate older than acceptable validity: Maharashtra domicile certificates issued more than ≤6 months prior to CET registration may be rejected. Re-apply at Tehsildar if current certificate is older.
• Income Certificate for EBC scholarship not in current format: Must be current Tehsildar-issued in Maharashtra state format with explicit annual income figure.
• Medical Fitness Certificate not on CET Cell prescribed Annexure: Use ONLY the official Annexure form (downloadable from cetcell.mahacet.org). Generic medical fitness certificates from your family doctor will be rejected.

The pattern: every reserved-category candidate must treat their document set as if it will be audited line-by-line. Renew, refresh, re-issue every certificate older than 6 months. Hundreds of valid candidates lose their reservation benefits every cycle solely on documentation grounds.

10. Maharashtra Rural Service Bond Policy 2026

• Government Medical College graduates: 1-year mandatory rural service bond after MBBS internship. Bond-break penalty ₹10,00,000.
• Private MUHS state-quota students at full FRA fee (no government reimbursement): Currently exempt from state rural bond.
• EBC scholarship beneficiaries: Generally subject to rural service bond (because the state government has reimbursed your tuition). Verify the exact 2026 CET Cell brochure clause before signing institute documents.
• Institutional Quota / NRI Quota at MUHS privates: No state bond.
• MCC Deemed University (DY Patil, MGM, Bharati Vidyapeeth, Datta Meghe): Outside Maharashtra state jurisdiction. No state rural bond. Some Deemeds enforce institute-level bonds for management quota — verify per-college.

11. Maharashtra vs Other Open-State Pathways for Non-Domicile Candidates

📌 In one line: side-by-side comparison — cutoffs, fees & outcomes.

The honest non-domicile recommendation: Skip Maharashtra MUHS Institutional Quota unless your budget exceeds ₹2 Cr AND you have a specific reason to study in Maharashtra. For non-domicile candidates seeking Maharashtra exposure, the MCC route to DY Patil Pune / MGM Navi Mumbai delivers Maharashtra-resident education at 35–45% lower cost than IQ at MUHS state privates.

12. Document Checklist for Maha CET CAP Reporting 2026

1. NEET-UG 2026 admit card + scorecard (printed, original)
2. SSC (Class 10) marksheet + certificate (DOB proof)
3. HSC (Class 12) marksheet + passing certificate (PCB)
4. Maharashtra Domicile Certificate (Tehsildar-issued, ≤6 months old)
5. Caste Certificate (for reserved categories)
6. Caste Validity Certificate (CVC) — mandatory in Maharashtra; without it, you lose reservation
7. Non-Creamy Layer (NCL) Certificate for OBC/VJ/NT/SBC — valid up to March 31, 2027
8. Maharashtra-state-format EWS Certificate (NOT central format)
9. Income Certificate for EBC scholarship (≤1 year old, current Tehsildar format)
10. Maharashtra Annexure-format Medical Fitness Certificate
11. Aadhaar Card + PAN of student and parent
12. 10 passport-size photographs (white background)
13. Migration Certificate from your 12th-board
14. Demand Draft for tuition + caution money + first-quarter hostel — favouring institute as per CAP allotment letter (Demand Draft, not cash, never to agents)
15. For NRI / Institutional Quota: sponsor passport, embassy attestation, last 6 months bank statement, sponsor passport+visa, relationship-proof affidavit

13. Avoiding Maharashtra MBBS Admission Frauds in 2026

Maharashtra's complexity attracts agent fraud, particularly targeting non-domicile families. Recognise these patterns:

• "Direct admission at MUHS state private quota for non-domicile": Always fake. Maharashtra state-quota private seats legally require MH domicile. Counterfeit domicile certificates are caught at CVC verification — admission revoked, fees forfeited.
• "Backdoor entry to KEM / BJ Pune for ₹X Cr": Always fake. GMC seats are 100% NEET-merit allotted by software. Cash bypass is impossible.
• "Pre-counselling deposit to lock IQ seat": Fake. Maha CET Cell collects only its own ₹1,000–₹80,000 refundable deposit. Institutional Quota fees are paid only after CAP allotment letter is issued.
• "Maharashtra EBC scholarship for non-domicile": Impossible. EBC requires verifiable Maharashtra domicile + Maharashtra Income Certificate. Counterfeit attempts are detected at scholarship-portal verification.
• "Offline spot admission at Stray Vacancy": Fake. 100% online stray vacancy per 2024 Supreme Court mandate. Any "come to campus with DD" pitch is illegal.

Universal safety rule: Never pay cash. All Maha CET fees go to the official CET Cell challan account. Institutional fees go to the institute's published bank account against an official CAP allotment letter and FRA fee schedule. Agents cannot legally receive any fee on the institute's behalf.

14. Scenario-Based Strategy for Maharashtra MBBS 2026

• MH domicile + NEET 550+: Target Mumbai / Pune top GMCs via state quota (Nair 556, JJ 550, BJ Pune 537 in 2025 CAP). Single-preference-form must list KEM → Sion → BJ Pune → Nair → Grant → GMC Nagpur in sequence.
• MH domicile + NEET 580–640: District GMCs (Aurangabad, Latur, Ambajogai, Satara, Alibag) or premium MUHS privates (Smt Kashibai Navale, MIMER, Padmashri DY Patil Kolhapur). Apply EBC if income ≤₹8 L.
• MH domicile + NEET 480–580: Tier-2 MUHS privates + EBC scholarship combo. Effective net cost ₹22–30 L for the entire MBBS at colleges like Ulhas Patil Jalgaon, NY Tasgaonkar Karjat.
• MH domicile + NEET 400–480 + budget ₹1+ Cr: MCC Deemed Maharashtra (DY Patil, MGM, Bharati Vidyapeeth) management quota.
• Non-domicile + NEET 540–600 + budget ₹65–80 L: Skip Maharashtra. Pivot to Karnataka KEA P-Quota at premium privates.
• Non-domicile + NEET 400–540 + budget ₹1.0–1.4 Cr: MCC Deemed Maharashtra (DY Patil, MGM, Bharati) is your best Maharashtra-exposure pathway. Cheaper than IQ at MUHS state privates.
• Non-domicile + budget ₹2+ Cr + specific Maharashtra preference: Maharashtra IQ at MUHS state private OR NRI seat at Maharashtra Deemeds. Verify FRA fee notification before paying.
• Any domicile, targeting a Maharashtra GMC without MH domicile: Only route in is All-India Quota (15% of GMC seats) — cutoffs there run meaningfully higher than the state-quota figures above; confirm the current AIQ closing rank on mcc.nic.in each round rather than assuming a fixed score. Avoid Maharashtra private medical colleges entirely (state-quota private seats require MH domicile).

15. Hostel and City Living — Mumbai vs Pune vs Nagpur vs District

• Mumbai (KEM, Sion, Nair, Grant, MGM Navi Mumbai, DY Patil Mumbai): India's most expensive student-living city. On-campus hostel ₹2.0–2.5 L/year for premium institutes; off-campus PG accommodation ₹15,000–25,000/month. Mess ₹6,000–8,000/month. Travel costs (local trains, autos) substantial. Plan all-in living budget ₹4–5 L/year on top of tuition.
• Pune (BJ Pune, DY Patil Pune, Bharati Vidyapeeth Pune, Smt Kashibai Navale, MIMER Talegaon): Tier-1 city living, slightly cheaper than Mumbai. Hostel ₹1.6–2.0 L/year; off-campus PG ₹10,000–18,000/month. Pune is India's premier student city — excellent NEET-PG coaching infrastructure (DAMS Pune, Aakash Pune, Marrow studios), strong corporate-hospital tie-ups (Sahyadri, Ruby Hall, Jehangir, Aditya Birla).
• Nagpur (GMC Nagpur, IGGMC, Datta Meghe Wardha — 75 km away): Tier-2 living, materially lower cost. Hostel ₹1.2–1.5 L/year; off-campus PG ₹7,000–11,000/month. AIIMS Nagpur (newer central institute) elevates the local medical ecosystem.
• District GMCs (Aurangabad, Latur, Satara, Alibag, Sindhudurg): Tier-2/3 living, cheapest cost. Hostel ₹0.8–1.2 L/year; mess ₹3,500–4,500/month. Limited entertainment options; weekend travel to Mumbai/Pune common.

16. Maharashtra Action Plan — 2026 Cycle Timeline

17. Pre-Application Quick-Reference Checklist

• NEET-UG 2026 score realistically projected for your target college tier and quota — state-quota OPEN closing in 2025 was roughly KEM 505, BJ Pune 537, district GMCs 327–550 (varies by college; see each college’s page for exact figures). AIQ closes far tighter.
• Maharashtra domicile certificate ≤6 months old.
• Caste Validity Certificate (CVC) ready (if reserved category).
• Non-Creamy Layer (NCL) certificate valid up to March 31, 2027.
• Maharashtra-state-format EWS certificate (if EWS).
• Income Certificate (current Tehsildar format) — for EBC scholarship eligibility check.
• Maharashtra Annexure Medical Fitness Certificate (downloaded from CET Cell portal).
• 10 passport photos, 5 photocopies of every certificate.
• Loan pre-approval (₹40–60 L PSU collateral-free + top-up for state-quota MH-domicile; ₹1.5+ Cr NBFC for non-domicile IQ).
• Demand Draft / RTGS-ready bank account for institute fee challan.
• Strategy call before locking single CAP preference form — a 30-minute conversation can change your seat outcome by 2–3 cutoff bands and the form CANNOT be edited mid-cycle.

18. Final Strategic Verdict — Picking Your Maharashtra Pathway

1. MH domicile + NEET 550+: Top Mumbai / Pune GMCs via single-preference form under state quota (Nair 556, JJ 550, BJ Pune 537 in 2025 CAP). Best return on NEET preparation effort.
2. MH domicile + NEET 480–640 + family income ≤₹8 L: MUHS private + EBC 50% scholarship. Net effective cost ₹22–30 L for entire MBBS — among the best price-performance in Indian medical education.
3. MH domicile + NEET 480–640 + family income above EBC limit: MUHS private at full FRA state-quota fee. Total ₹55–65 L all-in. Substantially cheaper than non-domicile alternatives.
4. Non-domicile + budget ₹65–80 L: Skip Maharashtra. Karnataka P-Quota is your best alternative.
5. Non-domicile + budget ₹1.0–1.4 Cr: Maharashtra MCC Deemed (DY Patil Pune / MGM Navi Mumbai / Bharati Vidyapeeth Pune) — cheaper than IQ at MUHS state privates with comparable infrastructure.
6. Non-domicile + budget ₹2+ Cr: IQ at MUHS state privates becomes feasible; verify FRA fee notification BEFORE paying.

Final filter: If you can answer "yes" to (1) realistic NEET 580+ for MH-domicile or budget ₹1+ Cr for non-domicile, (2) commitment to Maharashtra clinical exposure, (3) document set complete with March-2027-valid CVC + NCL + Maharashtra-format EWS, (4) single-preference-form locked carefully — Maharashtra MBBS 2026 is highly secure and achievable. Get any one of these wrong, and the system's notorious strictness will reject you regardless of NEET performance.
