MHT CET Final Merit List 2026 Published
The final merit list has been prepared after considering candidates' MHT CET 2026 scores, Class 12 qualifying examination marks, reservation rules, and corrections submitted during the grievance period.
Candidates included in the final merit list are eligible to participate in the CAP Round 1 choice filling process, during which they must select and prioritise their preferred colleges and engineering branches.
CAP Choice Filling Begins
With the publication of the final merit list, the CET Cell has also initiated the next phase of admissions-CAP option entry. During this stage, candidates are required to carefully fill and lock their preferred institutes and courses.
Students are advised to list as many realistic choices as possible to improve their chances of securing admission during the seat allotment process.
The allotment will depend on:
- Candidate's final merit rank
- MHT CET score
- Reservation category
- Preferred college and course choices
- Availability of seats
MHT CET CAP Round 1 Seat Allotment
According to the counselling schedule, the CAP Round 1 Seat Allotment Result is scheduled to be announced on August 2, 2026.
Candidates who receive an allotment must complete the subsequent admission process, including online acceptance of the seat, payment of the admission fee, and reporting to the allotted institute within the prescribed timeline.
