Maharashtra’s CET Cell issues new guidelines for how colleges fill vacant seats after the Centralised Admission Process (CAP) rounds conclude for CET 2026 admissions. The rules apply to institutional-level admissions to seats that remain unfilled once all CAP rounds are completed.
Across outlets, the CET Cell says colleges must conduct institutional admissions only after CAP rounds end and must follow inter-se merit among eligible candidates. Colleges are required to publish their admission rules, procedures, and merit-related information on their official websites, and to maintain records of confirmed admissions on the CAP portal where applicable. Students are told they can apply directly to colleges, and in some cases may use an institutional option form or apply through their CAP portal login.
The outlets also report that the CET Cell cautions against admission agents and warns that incorrect or misleading information about these admissions may appear online. Overall, the guidance emphasizes a merit-based, transparent process for vacant seats after CAP.
