MAH BCA CET CAP 2026 Registration Update
The CAP registration window opened earlier this month for BCA aspirants. The CET Cell extended the deadline twice to help pending applicants. Document verification and online confirmation ran alongside the registration process.
Only candidates who finished both steps within the deadline can move ahead. The final merit list will be published soon on the official portal. Seat allotment will follow strictly on merit and preference basis.
Stages of the CAP Rounds
The MAH BCA CET CAP 2026 uses a centralised counselling model. It has multiple allotment rounds across the admission cycle. Each round has a fixed set of steps for candidates to follow:
- Option form filling with a preference list of colleges
- Display of the provisional seat allotment result
- Candidate self-confirmation of the allotted seat online
- Reporting to the allotted institute with original documents
- Payment of the prescribed admission fee
Vacant seats after each round are carried forward to the next round. Candidates dissatisfied with an allotment can try again in later rounds. The exact round-wise dates are listed on the official portal.
Candidates must complete every step within its own time window. Missing any deadline may lead to loss of the allotted seat. Late reporting is generally not entertained under the CAP rules.
What Happens After the Seat Allotment?
The provisional seat allotment result appears on the candidate login. Aspirants must accept or decline the allotted seat within the given window. Non-acceptance leads to loss of the allotted seat automatically.
After accepting, candidates must pay the admission fee online. Reporting to the allotted institute follows with all original documents. Physical admission is confirmed only after successful reporting and verification.
