What the Round 1 Option Form Involves
The option form is the most important step in the CAP. Candidates list their preferred law colleges in the order they want. Seats are then allotted based on rank, category and preferences.
Aspirants should study the seat matrix before locking their choices. The seat matrix lists intake by college, category and quota. It is published on the same official CAP portal. A well-planned choice list improves the chance of securing a preferred allotment.

Who Is Eligible for CAP Round 1?
Only candidates who feature in the final merit list can take part. This list was published by the CET Cell on July 24, 2026. Candidates outside the list cannot fill options in Round 1. They may become eligible in later CAP rounds if seats remain.
Round 1 usually offers the largest seat pool of the CAP cycle. Top-ranked candidates get their best college fit in this round itself. Skipping the option form window can lock a student out of the best seats for the year.
