MHT CET 2026 CAP Round 3: Last Chance Today to Lock Your Engineering Seat

Maharashtra engineering aspirants have one last shot today, August 22, 2026. The State CET Cell option form for MHT CET 2026 CAP Round 3 closes by the portal deadline. Fill, save, and confirm choices within the window to remain eligible for Round‑3 allotment published on the portal.

The official schedule sets the Round‑3 option window from August 20 to 22. Avoid last‑minute edits, watch your internet stability, and verify the portal’s server time before final submission. Small timing mistakes can block participation in the crucial Round‑3 seat allocation.

MHT CET 2026 CAP Round 3 option form: final window and server-time tip

Complete option entry only after arranging preferences in strict order of desire. Use save, preview, and confirm actions deliberately, and recheck category, quota, and disability claims. Keep a screenshot or PDF of the confirmed choices with timestamp, since disputes usually hinge on submitted order and portal time stamps.

CAP Round 3 auto-freeze rule: first six preferences lock

The portal warns: “In CAP Round 3, the first six preferences will be autofreeze.” If you are allotted any of your first six in Round‑3, the allotment auto‑freezes and you cannot join later CAP rounds; acceptance and reporting become mandatory within timelines.

Smart choice-filling strategy for Round 3

Stack realistic colleges and branches in the top four slots; keep five and six acceptable. Do not repeat a previously allotted preference unless you truly want retention; the rules say you need not re‑enter it. Avoid experiments today; edit only when sure, then confirm once.

What happens after you submit the option form

Round‑3 provisional allotment will be published on the CET Cell portal. If allotted within your first six, the seat is auto‑frozen; pay seat‑acceptance online and report with originals as per brochure. Keep identity, category, and academic documents ready to avoid forfeiture for non‑reporting.

Final hours matter. Reorder thoughtfully, lock realistic top options, and confirm before the portal deadline on August 22, 2026. Cross‑check claims, ensure the preference order reflects true priorities, and keep documents handy. Then monitor the portal for Round‑3 allotment and follow seat‑acceptance and reporting steps without delay.
