MHT CET 2025 Counselling Admission Updates
MHT CET 2025 Counselling: Engineering admissions in Maharashtra have reached the last round, with the CET cell releasing the MHT CET CAP round 4 seat allotment result 2025. Despite the large number of registrations, only 95,253 students confirmed their seats after three rounds of MHT CET 2025 counselling. This year, a total of 2.14 lakh students registered for MHT CET engineering courses, while the intake capacity across the state is 1.83 lakh seats.

In the MHT CET round 3 counselling, 1.19 lakh students filled options, and 98,253 of them were allotted seats. However, only 30,412 students confirmed their admission through the MHT CET CAP round 3 seat allotment result. As per the schedule released, those allotted seats in MHT CET round 4 must confirm their admissions between September 2 and 4.

Rising Demand for New-Age Courses, Computer-Related Courses Still Popular
Courses such as Computer Engineering, Computer Science, and Information Technology continue to be in high demand, with more than 60% of seats already taken.
