The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test (MHT CET) cell is set to release the Centralised Admission Process (CAP) round 2 seat allotment results for 2026 on August 12. This announcement will allow candidates to find out which colleges and courses they have been allotted based on their merit and preferences.
Students who receive seat allotments in this round must complete the admission process, including fee payment and reporting to their allotted institutes, between August 13 and August 17 to confirm their seats.
Understanding MHT CET CAP Counselling
The MHT CET CAP is a centralized system used by the Maharashtra government to allocate seats in engineering, pharmacy, and other professional courses across the state. Candidates who qualify in the MHT CET exam participate in this counselling process, where seats are allotted based on merit rank, category, and the choices they fill in.
The counselling is conducted in multiple rounds to ensure maximum seat utilization. After each round, vacant seats are displayed, and candidates can modify their preferences for the next round. This system helps streamline admissions and provides transparency in seat allocation.
Key Dates and Steps for Round 2 Seat Allotment
- August 6: Provisional vacant seats for round 2 were displayed.
- August 7 to 9: Candidates submitted and confirmed their option forms for round 2.
- August 12: Round 2 provisional seat allotment results will be published.
- August 13 to 17: Candidates must accept their seats, pay fees, and report physically to their allotted institutes.
- August 18: Vacant seats for round 3 will be displayed.

- August 24: Round 3 seat allotment results will be announced.
To check the round 2 allotment result, candidates need to visit the official MHT CET CAP portal, enter their login credentials, and download the provisional seat allotment letter. This letter is crucial for completing admission formalities.
Why This Round Matters for Candidates
Round 2 of the MHT CET CAP counselling is critical for many students who did not secure a seat in the first round or wish to upgrade their options. With over 54,700 vacant seats available, this round offers a significant opportunity to secure admission in preferred colleges and courses.
Completing the admission process within the stipulated timeframe is essential to avoid losing the allotted seat. Candidates who fail to accept their seats or report to the institute by August 17 will forfeit their admission, and their seats will be released for subsequent rounds.
This round also sets the stage for round 3 counselling, where remaining vacant seats will be filled. Therefore, staying informed about deadlines and following instructions carefully can make a substantial difference in a candidate's academic future.
