The admission of candidates will also be subject to the outcome of the court petition.

The CAP Round 3 vacancy document also advises candidates to fill all eligible choice codes irrespective of the current vacancy position, as the vacancy position may change during the admission process.

Candidates participating in MHT CET CAP Round 3 should therefore check the latest vacancy position and carefully review the eligibility and provisional status of the newly added institute before entering their choices.
