Maharashtra CET 2026: Rules issued for institutional-level admissions to vacant seats

The Maharashtra Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell has announced new guidelines for institutional-level admissions, allowing colleges to fill any remaining vacant seats after the completion of all rounds of the Centralised Admission Process (CAP).

Under these new regulations, colleges are required to adhere strictly to the inter-se merit list of eligible candidates when making admissions. This aims to ensure a fair and transparent process. Institutions must also publish detailed admission rules and procedures on their official websites to provide clarity to prospective students.

Candidates have two options for applying to colleges: they can either apply directly to the institutions or utilize the CAP portal for their applications. Furthermore, the CET Cell has issued a warning to candidates to be cautious of admission agents and to avoid relying on potentially misleading information found online.

These steps come in response to concerns regarding transparency in the admission process and aim to protect students from potential fraud. The CET Cell emphasizes the need for candidates to remain vigilant and rely on official channels for their admissions.

For additional information, students can refer to the CET Cells official announcements and the specific college websites regarding the detailed admission process and timelines.
