MHT CET 2026 CAP Counselling — What Comes Next?
The Maharashtra CET Cell will begin CAP (Centralized Admission Process) counselling only after both PCM attempt results are declared. CAP grants admission to B.Tech/B.E., Pharmacy, and Agriculture courses in Maharashtra.
Steps in the CAP Counselling Process:
- Register on the official CAP counselling portal (your scorecard is needed as proof)
- Upload required documents — marksheets, domicile certificate, caste certificate if applicable
- Fill in your college and branch preferences in order of priority
- Seat allotment happens through 3 to 4 CAP rounds based on merit rank
- Accept your allotted seat online and report to the college for document verification
MHT CET 2026 Marks vs Percentile — How Is It Calculated?
The Maharashtra CET Cell uses a normalisation process to calculate percentile scores. Since the exam is held across multiple shifts with different question sets, raw marks are not directly compared across shifts. Percentile scores are derived based on the relative performance of all candidates across all shifts.
Use your official scorecard percentile — not raw marks — for college prediction and counselling purposes.
