What Happens After the Final Merit List?

The CET Cell will conduct four CAP rounds this admission cycle. Round 1 begins on July 28, 2026, with option-form filling. Candidates will list their preferred colleges and MBA specialisations in order.

Seat allotment for Round 1 will be released on August 2, 2026. Allotted candidates must accept the seat within the given window. They must then report to the allotted institute with original documents.

Vacant seats after each round move into the next round. Candidates who miss reporting will lose their allotted seat automatically. Fresh choices can be filled before every new round.

Only candidates listed in the final merit list can join CAP. They must hold a valid MAH MBA CET 2026 scorecard. CAT, CMAT, MAT, XAT, ATMA, or GMAT scores are also accepted.

All candidates must meet the minimum eligibility set by the CET Cell. Domicile and category proofs uploaded earlier must match the merit list entry. Any mismatch could lead to cancellation at the reporting stage.
