MAH MBA CET CAP 2026 Institutional Round Vacancy List Out at mba2026.mahacet.org.in; Check Last Date to Apply

The State Common Entrance Test Cell (CET Cell), Maharashtra, has released the Maharashtra MBA Common Entrance Test (MAH MBA CET) 2026 Centralised Admission Process (CAP) institutional round vacancy list. The list has been published on the official portal at mba2026.mahacet.org.in. It shows the seats that remain vacant across participating MBA and MMS colleges after the four regular CAP rounds.

Institutes will now fill these vacant seats directly through the institutional round. Eligible candidates can apply straight to the colleges of their choice. All admissions under this round must be completed by September 15, 2026.

MAH MBA CET 2026 Institutional Round Key Details

The institutional round follows CAP Round 4, which was the final centralised allotment round for MAH MBA CET 2026. The Round 4 seat allotment result was declared on September 3, 2026. The seat acceptance window then ran from September 4 to September 7, 2026.

Seats that stayed unfilled after Round 4 have been carried into the institutional vacancy list. Colleges will now handle these admissions on their own, based on merit and CET rank.

Who Can Apply in the Institutional Round?

The institutional round is open to candidates who have a valid MAH MBA CET 2026 score or an accepted national-level test score. It is also open to candidates who did not get a seat in CAP or who chose not to accept their Round 4 allotment.

Candidates must also meet the eligibility rules set for the specific college and course. This includes the qualifying degree, minimum marks, and reservation criteria as per state norms.

Colleges will prepare their own merit lists from the applications received. Seats will then be offered based on rank, category, and course-level eligibility.

Seat Distribution in Private Unaided Colleges

Private unaided MBA colleges in Maharashtra fill 85 percent of their seats through CAP. The remaining 15 percent is the institute-level or management quota. Vacant CAP seats that carry into the institutional round are filled from this route.
