Maharashtra CET Cell extends the CAP (Centralized Admission Process) registration deadline for B.E./B.Tech engineering admissions for 2026 to July 16. Multiple outlets report that the extension is linked to a technical issue affecting some applicants’ ability to fetch their JEE Main percentile scores through DigiLocker. As a result, candidates who were unable to retrieve or update their details within the original timeline get additional time under the revised schedule.

Sources also indicate that candidates may need to update or correct their applications to ensure their information is current and that they remain eligible for inclusion in the admission merit list. The updates are tied to the JEE Main score-fetch status and the application details used for the CAP process.

Applicants are directed to follow the revised CET Cell instructions and complete registration and any required corrections by the new deadline. Specific steps are not consistent across the reports, but both emphasize using the CAP registration process within the updated dates and addressing any DigiLocker/JEE score retrieval gaps, where applicable.
