The Centralised Admission Process (CAP) streamlines admissions by consolidating applications and merit lists for participating colleges. This process ensures transparency and fairness in seat allocation for aspiring education professionals.
After candidates complete the entrance test and submit their CAP applications, the CET Cell prepares merit lists based on scores and eligibility. These lists undergo scrutiny and any grievances raised by candidates are addressed before final publication.
