Final Merit List
After addressing all objections and grievances, the CET Cell publishes the final merit list. This list is considered official, and seat allotment under MHT CET CAP 2026 counselling is conducted based on candidates’ merit positions in the final list.

MHT CET CAP 2026 Counselling
The Maharashtra CET Cell conducts the MHT CET counselling process, known as the Centralised Admission Process (CAP). All candidates who secure a non-zero score in MHT CET must register for CAP counselling to be considered for admission. After registration, candidates are assigned a merit number in the MHT CET merit list.
Only candidates whose names appear in the merit list are eligible to participate in the counselling process. They must fill in their preferred colleges and courses during the choice-filling stage. Seat allotment is carried out based on the candidate’s rank in the merit list. The CET Cell is expected to conduct 3 to 4 rounds of CAP 2026 counselling, depending on the number of applicants.
