What is the MHT CET 2026 Provisional Merit List?

The MHT CET 2026 Provisional Merit List is an official ranking document prepared by the Maharashtra State CET Cell under the CAP 2026-27 admission process. It assigns a merit rank to every registered student based on their percentile score in MHT CET 2026. The list is called "provisional" because it can change based on document verification outcomes and objections raised by students during the announced window.

Your merit rank in the provisional list determines your position in the seat allotment queue. Students with higher percentile scores receive better ranks and greater chances of securing a seat in top engineering or pharmacy colleges in Maharashtra under the Centralized Admission Process (CAP).
