Maharashtra Cell revises MHT CET CAP 2026 admission deadline after Supreme Court, AICTE orders

The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell has revised the admission deadline for all courses to September 14 for the academic year 2026-27. The directive comes in compliance with the Supreme Court and All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) order for admission undergraduate and postgraduate technical courses.

According to the CET Cell circular, the date will be considered the final deadline for all types of admissions, including the Centralized Admission Process (CAP) and institutional-level rounds.

All eligible candidates participating in the ongoing CAP rounds or institutional vacancy rounds must ensure that the admission process, fee payment, and system reporting on the portal are completed before this deadline; students, parents, and institutions are advised to take note of this.
