Those who made to the final list of recommended candidates in order of merit are Mrunal Sidharth Marathe, Vipul Raghoba Naik Gaonkar, Sanjana Dipak Bandekar, Nadia Ashraf Ali Shekoli, Safal Krishna Shetye, Sanket Sandip Sakhardande, Manthan Manoj Naik, Sairaj Dattaram Phadte, Amit Nagesh Sawant, Ratnakant Dinraj Govenker, Agnelo Levlino Dsouza, Manthan Manish Naik and Kaushik Dattaguru Amonkar. All in the general category.
