What is MAH MBA CET 2026 CAP Round 1 Seat Allotment
The CAP Round 1 Seat Allotment is the first stage of the Centralised Admission Process conducted by CET Cell Maharashtra for MBA and MMS programmes. After you submit your institute and course preferences during the choice-filling window, an algorithm allots you a seat based on your merit rank and seat availability in your preferred colleges. The Round 1 allotment is provisional — it becomes confirmed only after you accept the seat and pay the fee online within the deadline.
Students not allotted a seat in CAP Round 1 are automatically considered for CAP Round 2. Students who receive an allotment must act within the acceptance deadline or lose the seat. CET Cell typically conducts three CAP rounds before the final admission process closes.
