The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell is set to release the MHT CET Final Merit List 2026 today for candidates seeking admission to Bachelor of Engineering (BE) and Bachelor of Technology (BTech) programmes through the Centralised Admission Process (CAP).
Once released, candidates will be able to access and download the final merit list from the official websites cetcell.mahacet.org and fe2026.mahacet.org.
The publication of the final merit list marks the beginning of the next phase of the admission process, with CAP Round 1 choice filling expected to commence shortly after the merit list is made available.
MHT CET Final Merit List 2026
The final merit list has been prepared after considering candidates' MHT CET 2026 scores, Class 12 qualifying examination marks, and the corrections or grievances submitted during the provisional merit list stage. Candidates whose names appear in the final merit list will be eligible to participate in the CAP counselling process for admission to engineering colleges across Maharashtra.
The merit list determines a candidate's rank and plays a crucial role in seat allotment. Candidates are advised to verify their merit position carefully before proceeding with option entry.
CAP Choice Filling to Begin
Following the release of the final merit list, the CET Cell will activate the CAP Option Form for Round 1. During this stage, candidates must fill in and arrange their preferred colleges and engineering branches in order of priority.
Students should carefully select their preferences after reviewing previous years' cut-offs, institute rankings, seat availability, and location. Since seat allotment will be based on the preferences submitted, candidates are encouraged to exercise maximum care while locking their choices.
