The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell has issued new guidelines for colleges to fill seats left vacant after the completion of all Centralised Admission Process (CAP) rounds. The directions apply to courses under the Department of Technical Education. As per the latest notice, colleges can start institutional-level admissions only after all CAP rounds are over.
Vacant seats must be filled according to the applicable admission rules and the inter-se merit of eligible candidates.
Important Updates on College Admissions Process
The college has announced that it will update admission details on the CAP portal following the confirmation of institutional-level admissions. In light of this, the CET Cell has issued a warning to candidates and parents about the risks posed by individuals or intermediaries who falsely claim to facilitate admissions. Students are advised against accepting such offers until the CAP rounds are completed.
To ensure they receive accurate information, candidates should verify admission details through official college websites and the CET Cell. The notice also highlights the importance of being cautious about misleading information that may circulate on social media, through private consultants, and via unofficial links.
Colleges must publish the admission rules, procedure and prospectus for institutional-level admissions on their official websites. Candidates can apply directly to the respective college. If a college does not accept direct applications, candidates can submit institutional-level option form through their CAP portal login. Colleges will consider the applications received while preparing the merit list. The institutional-level merit list must be prepared based on eligible applications and the list of candidates provided by the CET Cell. Colleges need to display merit list on their notice board and official website.
