MAH MBA CAP Round 4 Starts Today: Critical Deadlines and Rules for 2026 Admissions

Maharashtra’s MBA/MMS Centralised Admission Process Round 4 starts today, August 29, 2026. Candidates can submit and confirm their option form until August 31. The final seat allotment will be declared on September 3. Seat acceptance and institute reporting run from September 4 to 7, with strict daily cut-offs. Missing these windows ends participation.

Who can participate now? Aspirants without an allotment and candidates seeking betterment who were not auto-frozen earlier. Under state rules, Round 2 allotments within top three preferences and Round 3 within top six are auto-frozen, blocking further upgrades. Round 4 is final; any allotment must be accepted. Plan your list accordingly.

MAH MBA CAP Round 4 dates and acceptance timeline

The option form window is August 29–31, with allotment on September 3. Seat acceptance is open September 4–7 until 3 pm, while reporting and fee submission at institutes close daily at 5 pm. Full-fee cancellation with refund is available until September 13, per the CAP schedule.

Vacant seat matrix and option form steps that prevent errors

First, review the provisional vacant seats for Round 4 on the CAP portal. Then reorder choices carefully, save, and complete the “submit and confirm” action; unconfirmed forms aren’t considered. Download the final printout. Revisions are possible only till August 31, after which choices lock automatically. Treat Round 4 as a targeted upgrade, not a wide bet.

Documents and category/EWS validity rules to clear before reporting

Reserved-category candidates must present valid caste/tribe validity and a Non-Creamy Layer certificate active through March 31, 2027. EWS candidates must use the Government Resolution dated May 31, 2021 format. If only receipts were uploaded earlier, originals must be verified and submitted by the Round 4 final reporting deadline or admission will be cancelled.

Freeze vs betterment: use the rulebook to avoid lockouts

Don’t expect upgrades after an auto-freeze. State admission rules codify auto-freeze at top three choices in Round 2 and top six in Round 3; Round 4 allotments are final. If you accept Round 4, report with originals and fee on time; otherwise, the seat lapses and choices cannot be reclaimed.

The next eight days decide outcomes. Finalise a realistic preference order today, watch the portal on September 3, and complete seat acceptance and reporting between September 4 and 7. Keep certificates ready in correct formats and validity. A timely submit-confirm, not just save, secures your place for 2026–28.
