  "summary": "The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell has announced that 10,395 students have secured admission to MBBS and BDS courses across the state after the third round of the Centralised Admission Process (CAP) for the 2026-27 academic year. This leaves 1,036 seats vacant, with over 90% of medical and dental seats filled. Government medical colleges have nearly completed their MBBS admissions, filling 99.60% of the available seats, while government dental colleges have achieved an 91.79% occupancy rate. To fill the remaining seats, the CET Cell has proposed shifting the second entrance exam attempt to May and plans to implement Aadhaar-based exam centre restrictions.",
