MHT CET 2026 CAP Counselling Registration (Starts) Live: Link, Steps to Apply, Fees, Schedule

The MHT CET 2026 CAP process has started. Candidates can check the counselling documents and report at centres for verification.

Starting today, registered candidates can start reporting at the facilitation centres for offline document verification.

The online registration and document uploading window opened on July 2, 2026, and will remain open until July 12, 2026 (up to 5\ PM). Aspiring students are advised to submit their applications well before the deadline to prevent last-minute server delays.

Following the closing of the grievance window on July 18, the State CET cell will issue the final merit list on July 20, 2026, which will form the basis for option form submission and seat allocations in CAP round 1.

For those who are participating in the CAP rounds based on the JEE Main scores (and did not register for the MHT CET exam), the CAP registration fee is Rs. 1300 for general category candidates and Rs. 1000 for reserved category candidates

If students have already registered and appeared for the MHT CET 2026 exam, candidates do not need to pay any additional fee to register for the CAP counselling rounds.

If two or more candidates secure the exact same percentile score, the merit rank is determined using specific tie-breaker rules in the following descending order of priority:

1. Higher percentile score in Mathematics in MHT CET.

2. Higher percentile score in Physics in MHT CET.

3. Higher percentile score in Chemistry in MHT CET.

4. Higher percentage of marks in Board Examination (10+2) for Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics taken together.

5. Higher percentage of marks in Mathematics in the 10+2 board exam.

6. Higher percentage of marks in Physics in the 10+2 board exam.

7. Higher percentage of marks in Aggregate in the 10th standard (SSC) exam.

The State CET Cell, Maharashtra prepares distinct merit lists based on your entrance test:

• Maharashtra State Candidates: Prepared entirely based on your MHT CET 2026 percentile score (PCM group).

• All India Candidates: Prepared primarily based on JEE Main scores. However, if a candidate has appeared for both, preference is given to the higher score or as per the specific institutional seat allocation rules.

The MHT CET 2026 CAP is held in multiple rounds for B.E. / B.Tech engineering counselling, followed by an institutional/spot round at individual colleges to fill any remaining vacant seats.

Candidates can raise objections regarding their provisional merit details from July 16 to July 18 by uploading supporting documents.
