• Allotted engineering course or branch
• Institute choice code
• Seat type or allotment category

How Is the MHT CET CAP Round 1 Allotment Prepared?

The MHT CET CAP seat-allotment process is computerized. Adding a particular college to the option form does not guarantee admission to that college.

Seat allotment mainly depends on the following factors:

• Candidate’s position in the final merit list
• Order of preferences submitted in the option form
• Availability of seats at the time of allotment
• Candidate’s category and applicable reservation
• Home University and Other than Home University rules
• State-level seat rules
• Course and institute eligibility conditions
• Applicable CAP admission rules

The system generally considers the college and course choices in the order entered by the candidate.

Candidates should therefore place their most preferred college and engineering branch higher in the option form.

What to Do After CAP Round 1 Seat Allotment

After receiving a seat, first download the allotment letter and check whether the seat has been allotted against your first preference or another preference.

Depending on the preference number and the official CAP rules, the candidate may be required to accept the seat, select an available participation option and report to the allotted institute.

Candidates should follow the exact instructions displayed in their login.

If You Are Satisfied with the Allotted Seat

If you want to retain the allotted college and branch:

• Accept the offered seat through the candidate login.
• Complete the applicable seat-acceptance process.
• Download the acceptance receipt or acknowledgement.
• Report to the allotted institute within the official deadline.
• Submit the required documents.
• Complete the institute admission formalities.
• Preserve all payment and admission receipts.

If You Want a Better College or Branch

If permitted under the official rules, a candidate may retain or accept the current allotment and choose the available betterment option.

The candidate may then be considered for a higher preference in the subsequent CAP round.

Selecting betterment does not guarantee a higher-preference seat. A new seat will be allotted only if it becomes available according to the candidate’s merit position, preferences and applicable admission rules.

If No Seat Is Allotted

Candidates who do not receive a seat in CAP Round 1 should not consider themselves disqualified from the entire counselling process. Subject to the official eligibility rules, such candidates may participate in subsequent CAP rounds. Before the next round, candidates should:

• Check the next-round vacant-seat matrix.
• Review the CAP Round 1 college and branch cut-offs.
• Add a balanced combination of ambitious and safer preferences.
• Consider alternative engineering branches where appropriate.
• Consider colleges in different locations.
• Confirm the next-round option form within the deadline.

Freeze, Float and Betterment Explained

Option	General meaning
Freeze	The candidate accepts the allotted seat and does not want to seek a higher preference in a subsequent round.
Float or Betterment	The candidate retains or accepts the present allotment but wants to be considered for a higher preference, subject to the rules.
Seat not accepted	Failure to complete the required acceptance process within the deadline may result in loss of the allotted seat.

The exact option names displayed in the official candidate login will be final.

Candidates should read the current CAP instructions before confirming an option because an incorrect selection may affect their eligibility for subsequent rounds.

Documents Required for Institute Reporting

Candidates should keep their admission documents ready before the result is announced. The exact documents may differ according to candidature type and category. Commonly required documents may include:

• MHT CET 2026 scorecard
• CAP application form
• Provisional seat allotment letter
• Option-form confirmation copy
• Seat-acceptance acknowledgement or receipt
• Class 10 marksheet and certificate
• Class 12 marksheet and certificate
• School or college leaving certificate
• Nationality proof
• Domicile certificate, where applicable
• Caste certificate, where applicable
• Caste validity certificate, where applicable
• Non-creamy layer certificate, where applicable
• EWS certificate, where applicable
• Disability certificate for eligible PwD candidates
• Defence category certificate, where applicable
• Minority certificate or declaration, where required
• Migration certificate, if applicable
• Recent passport-size photographs
• Government-issued photo identity proof

Candidates should carry their original documents along with the required photocopies.

The candidate’s name, date of birth, parents’ names and other personal information should match across the application form and supporting certificates.

MHT CET CAP Round 1 Cut-Off 2026

The CAP Round 1 cut-off is expected to be published after completion of the allotment process.

The cut-off may show the closing merit number or score for different:

• Engineering colleges
• Courses and branches
• Candidate categories
• Seat types
• Home University seats
• Other than Home University seats
• State-level seats

The cut-off will help candidates understand:

• Whether a preferred college was within their merit range
• Which colleges may be suitable for the next round
• Which branches closed at higher or lower merit positions
• How category and seat type affected allotment
• Which colleges may have vacancies in later rounds

A previous-round cut-off cannot guarantee admission in the next round. Vacancies, cancellations, betterment and changes in candidate preferences may affect later-round cut-offs.

MHT CET CAP Round 1 Seat Matrix 2026

The Maharashtra CET Cell has published the provisional category-wise seat matrix for CAP Round 1. The seat matrix provides institute-wise and branch-wise information about the seats available before the Round 1 allotment process.

It may include:

• Government and government-aided seats
• University-managed seats
• Home University seats
• Other than Home University seats
• State-level seats
• Category-wise reserved seats
• Female candidate seats
• Minority seats, where applicable
• PwD seats, where applicable
• Defence seats, where applicable

Candidates should compare the seat matrix with their merit position, college preferences and previous-year cut-offs. However, candidates should not copy another student’s option form because branch preference, category, merit position, location and budget may be different for every candidate.

Seat-Acceptance Fee Update

Candidates should follow only the fee amount and payment instructions displayed on the official CET Cell portal or candidate login. A reported proposal to increase the seat-acceptance fee should not be treated as final unless the CET Cell publishes an official notice or displays the revised amount through the admission portal. Do not make payment through an unofficial link, agent, QR code or personal bank account. Always download the official payment receipt after completing the transaction.
