Important Details to Verify in the Merit List

The provisional merit list contains crucial data points that determine your actual seat allotment chances. Candidates must carefully check the following details:

• Candidate’s Full Name and Gender

• Class 10 (SSC) Aggregate Percentage and Marks

• State Level General Merit Number

• Home District Merit Number

• Category Merit Number (SC, ST, OBC, VJ/DT-NT, SBC, etc.)

• Special Reservation Status (EWS, TFWS, PwD, or Defense Quota)

• Document Verification Status

Note: The ranking is strictly prepared based on your Class 10 (SSC) exam marks and category-wise reservation rules. If two or more students score identical marks, the authority applies specific tie-breaking rules based on subject-wise performance.

What is the Grievance Window? How to Correct Errors

Since this list is strictly provisional, it gives you a final chance to correct any mistakes before the actual seat allocation begins. If you find any misspelling in your name, wrong category assignment, or incorrect marks, you can raise an objection.

• Grievance Window: July 8 to July 9, 2026.

• E-Scrutiny Candidates: Submit your correction requests and upload supporting valid documents directly through your candidate dashboard login.

• Physical Scrutiny Candidates: Visit your assigned Facilitation Centre (FC) along with your original documents to lodge an error correction request.

Once all legitimate grievances are verified and resolved, DTE Maharashtra will publish the Final Merit List on July 10, 2026. Only candidates named in the final list will be eligible for choice-filling in the upcoming CAP rounds.
