What Has Changed for Women Candidates?
Earlier, the CAP seat matrix reserved 30 percent seats horizontally for women. This quota cut across Open, OBC, SC, ST, and other categories. It gave women a dedicated share within each category.
The revised matrix no longer shows this women-only allocation. Women candidates will now compete under their applicable category only. This may change the effective competition at several institutes.

Why the Change Matters for CAP Round 1
CAP Round 1 seat allotment is scheduled for August 2026. Choice filling depends directly on the seat matrix figures. A revised matrix means candidates must relook at their preferences.
Women counting on the horizontal quota should reassess their choices. Male candidates in Open and reserved categories may access more top seats.
The 30 percent women's quota had shaped CAP cutoffs for years. Its removal is a major structural change in MAH MBA CAP counselling. Cutoffs at premier institutes like JBIMS and SIMSREE may shift this cycle.
