Autonomous architecture institutes that opt into the state process also fill their seats through CAP. The complete list of participating colleges is available on the official portal under the notice section.

Candidates from All India and Maharashtra State categories fill separate seat quotas. Merit lists are drawn for each category and gender-based subgroups. Reserved category candidates should verify their claim documents before locking the option form.

What Happens After You Lock the Option Form?

Once the option form window closes, SCETC processes all locked choices. The system matches each candidate's merit rank with their preferred institutes. It then assigns seats based on availability in each category.
