MHT CET Seat Allotment 2026: Expected Date, Download Link, & CAP Round Result

Ans.The MHT CET 2026 CAP Round 1 seat allotment is expected in late July to early August 2026, after the result, merit list, and CAP registration processes are completed. The official schedule will be announced on cetcell.mahacet.org.

Ans.There are 4 rounds in MHT CET CAP 2026 — CAP Round 1, CAP Round 2, CAP Round 3, and an Institutional/Spot Round for vacant seats after the main rounds are over. The CET Cell may adjust the number of rounds based on seat availability and the number of students.

Ans. Log in to the official CAP portal at fe2026.mahacet.org (or cetcell.mahacet.org) using your application number and date of birth. Click on the relevant CAP round allotment result link and download your allotment letter. Check the MHT CET seat allotment page for direct links.

Ans.The seat acceptance fee for MHT CET 2026 has been revised to Rs 2,000 for General category students and Rs 800 for reserved category (SC/ST/OBC/EWS/VJ/NT/SBC Maharashtra) students. For NRI/OCI/Foreign National students, the fee is Rs 5,000. This fee must be paid online within the reporting deadline to confirm your allotted seat.

Ans.The MHT CET 2026 merit list is prepared by giving equal weightage to your Class 12 HSC score (50%) and MHT CET 2026 percentile score (50%). Both components are combined into a single merit score that determines your rank in the merit list. So even if your MHT CET score is good, a low Class 12 score can affect your overall rank.

Ans.Freeze means you are fully satisfied and confirm the allotted seat — you exit further rounds. Float means you keep the current seat but also participate in the next round for a better college or branch. Slide means you want to stay in the same college but prefer a different (higher-ranked) branch within that college in the next round. In all three, you pay the seat acceptance fee to hold your seat.

Ans.Yes. If you are not allotted a seat in CAP Round 1 (due to high cutoff or insufficient options), you can participate in CAP Round 2 by filling out a fresh option form. However, you must complete the initial CAP registration and document verification before Round 1 to be eligible for all subsequent rounds.

Ans.If you fill out choices but do not click "Confirm/Lock" before the deadline, your option form will not be processed for that round's allotment. You will not be considered for seat allotment in that round. You may still participate in the next round, but you must confirm the option form on time. The CET Cell does not extend deadlines for individual students under any circumstances.

Ans.The Institutional Round (also called the Spot Round) is conducted after all CAP rounds are over, specifically for seats that remain vacant. Some colleges conduct this round independently, and you can apply directly to those colleges. The schedule for this round is released by individual institutes or by the CET Cell, depending on whether it is centrally managed or institute-specific.

Ans.Yes. Students who qualified in JEE Main 2026 are eligible to participate in MHT CET CAP 2026 for the 15% All India quota seats in Maharashtra engineering colleges. They are ranked separately in the AI merit list. They must complete CAP registration at cetcell.mahacet.org to participate in the allotment rounds.

Ans.Yes, you can cancel, but there is a penalty. If you cancel admission within a specified window, you get a partial refund (the full fee minus a cancellation fee). If you cancel after the deadline, a larger deduction applies. You must visit your allotted college or the CET Cell portal to apply for cancellation and refund. Always check the official MHT CET CAP 2026 brochure for exact refund rules.

Ans.The Tuition Fee Waiver Scheme (TFWS) is an AICTE scheme where up to 5% of sanctioned seats in technical colleges carry a full tuition fee waiver. It is available only to Maharashtra State Candidature candidates whose parents' annual income is below the prescribed limit. If you are eligible, you should fill out TFWS-reserved college choices specifically during option form submission.
