Maharashtra CET Cell Announces Transfer Process for Working Professionals in Low-Enrolment MCA Courses

The State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell, Maharashtra, has issued guidelines for the transfer of working professionals provisionally admitted to MCA courses where enrolment numbers remain very low.

As per the admission policy for AY2025–26, if admissions in any course are less than 1/3rd of the approved student intake after the pre-cut-off date, those students will be transferred to nearby institutes (within a 50 km radius of their workplace/organisation), on a merit basis. The transfer can be made into the same course or, if necessary, into another course at the nearby institute, depending on availability.

Key Dates in the Transfer Process

Important Instructions

1. Transfer Window – The transfer process will only take place between the pre-cut-off date and the final cut-off date.
2. Fee Refund – If an institute has fewer than one-third of its admissions, it must refund the full fees to the student within two days of cancellation or transfer.
3. Automatic Cancellation – If a candidate cannot secure admission to another institute on merit due to lack of vacancies, their provisional admission will be cancelled automatically.
