MAH MBA CET 2026 CAP Round 1 Documents Required for Seat Allotment: Full Checklist

Students must complete MAH MBA CET 2026 document verification by July 13, 2026 — the last day of the CAP 2026 verification window — to become eligible for CAP Round 1 seat allotment.

CET Cell Maharashtra conducts the Centralised Admission Process (CAP) for MBA and MMS admissions across 300+ state institutes. Document verification is the mandatory bridge between CAP registration and the provisional merit list: only students whose documents are verified and confirmed will appear on the merit list used for seat allotment. CET Cell offers two routes — fully online e-scrutiny or a physical visit to a Facilitation Centre. Both routes close on July 13, 2026 at 5:00 PM.

• Document verification for MAH MBA CET 2026 CAP is open from July 3 to July 13, 2026 (5:00 PM).
• Students can opt for e-scrutiny (online document upload) or visit a Facilitation Centre in person.
• MAH MBA CET 2026 Score Card is the primary qualifying document; CAT, XAT, CMAT, ATMA, MAT, and GMAT scorecards are also accepted.
• Reserved category students must submit a valid Caste Validity Certificate and — for OBC, VJNT, NT, and SBC categories — a Non-Creamy Layer Certificate valid for FY 2025–26.
• After document verification closes, the provisional merit list is expected around July 15–20, 2026, followed by choice filling and CAP Round 1 seat allotment.

Category-Wise Additional Documents for MAH MBA CET 2026 CAP Round 1

Students claiming reservation benefits must carry the documents below in addition to the general checklist. All certificates must be issued by a Maharashtra state authority to be valid for state-quota reservation.

Non-Creamy Layer certificates must be valid for FY 2025–26. An expired NCL certificate will not be accepted, and you will be treated as an open-category student for seat allotment. If your Caste Validity Certificate application is pending with the Scrutiny Committee, carry the official acknowledgement receipt — your seat will remain provisional until the certificate is produced.

How to Complete Document Verification for MAH MBA CET 2026 CAP

CET Cell offers two modes for document verification. Both modes must be completed before July 13, 2026 at 5:00 PM.

Mode 1: E-Scrutiny (Online Upload)

1. Log in to the CAP 2026 portal at cetcell.mahacet.org using your application ID and password.
2. Navigate to the Document Upload section in your dashboard.
3. Upload scanned copies of all required documents in PDF or JPG format, within the file size limits specified in the official notification.
4. Review and confirm your submission, then save the acknowledgement number for your records.

Mode 2: Physical Verification at a Facilitation Centre

1. Select your nearest Facilitation Centre from the list published on cetcell.mahacet.org.
2. Visit the centre between July 3 and July 13, 2026, within the available time slot.
3. Carry all original documents and two sets of self-attested photocopies.
4. Centre staff will scan, verify, and update your application status online.
5. Collect the acknowledgement slip as proof of verified status.

A name or date of birth mismatch across documents will stall verification. Carry a notarised affidavit or gazette notification recording any name change to resolve such discrepancies at the centre on the same visit.

Documents Needed After CAP Round 1 Seat Allotment

After CAP Round 1 seat allotment results are published, you must report to the allotted institute for final seat confirmation. Bring originals and one additional set of photocopies at this stage, as the institute retains one set for its own records.

Not reporting to the allotted institute within the stipulated time results in automatic seat cancellation. The seat is released for CAP Round 2. Students who do not report are treated as not interested and remain eligible for subsequent rounds subject to CET Cell norms.
