How to Fill CAP Option Forms and Confirm Seats?
The option form is one of the most important steps in every CAP round. Candidates must list their preferred colleges and courses in the correct order of priority. The Cell will allot seats based on the candidate’s merit rank, category, seat availability, and submitted preferences.
- Log in at bba2026.mahacet.org.in using your application number and login credentials.
- Open the CAP option form.
- Add your preferred colleges and courses.
- Arrange the choices from the most preferred to the least preferred.
- Lock and submit the option form before the round deadline.
- Check the seat allotment result on the scheduled date.
- Accept the allotted seat online and report to the allotted college within the given deadline.
After the allotment, candidates must confirm their seats online within the specified time. This process is called self-confirmation of the allotted seat on the CAP portal.
Candidates who fail to complete the self-confirmation process within the deadline will automatically lose the allotted seat.

What Happens If a Candidate Skips a Round?
A candidate can participate in the next CAP round even after skipping an earlier round. However, an allotted seat that is not accepted within the deadline will be forfeited.
Candidates who receive an upgraded seat in a subsequent round cannot return to their previously allotted seat.

What to Keep Ready for CAP Reporting?
Candidates reporting to an allotted college must carry their original documents, photocopies, seat acceptance letter, and allotment letter. They must also pay the required college fee within the reporting deadline.
Keep the following documents ready before each CAP round:
- MAH BBA CET 2026 scorecard and admit card
- Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets
- Class 10 and Class 12 passing certificates
- School leaving certificate or transfer certificate
- Domicile certificate, if applicable
- Category certificate, if applicable
- Aadhaar card
- Recent passport-size photographs
- Seat acceptance letter
- Allotment letter downloaded from the CAP portal
Candidates should carefully follow all CAP deadlines, as failure to complete seat acceptance, self-confirmation, fee payment, or institute reporting on time may result in the cancellation of admission.
MAH BBA CET is the state gate for BBA seats in Maharashtra. Four full CAP rounds give candidates repeated chances at a preferred college. A missed deadline pushes a candidate to the institute level round.
