This article provides a rundown of the latest counselling news and updates to help you through the admission process.
MHT CET CAP Round 3: Option Filling Opens Today
For Maharashtra engineering aspirants, the MHT CET CAP Round 3 is a pivotal moment to secure a seat. Today marks the beginning of the option filling window for MHT CET CAP Round 3. Aspirants who did not get a seat in the first two rounds, or those who chose the 'Float' option, must fill in their college and course preferences to be considered for seat allotment. The official website has already published the vacant seat matrix, which shows the number of seats available after the completion of Round 2. It is highly recommended to carefully study this matrix before submitting your choices. The counselling process is highly competitive, and filling the form with a well-thought-out list of preferred colleges is crucial for a successful admission.
TNEA 2025: Final Reporting Day for Round 3
Today is a crucial day for TNEA (Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions) candidates. August 17, 2025, is the final day for TNEA Round 3 candidates to report to their allotted colleges. This deadline applies to students who chose the 'Accept and Join' option during the seat allotment process. Candidates who opted for 'Accept and Upward' must also report to the TNEA Facilitation Centre (TFC) on or before today to confirm their provisional acceptance and remain in the running for an upgrade in subsequent counselling rounds. Failing to complete this step by the end of the day will lead to the forfeiture of your allotted seat. This final stage of the TNEA counselling process marks the end of the general admission rounds, paving the way for supplementary counselling, which will be held from August 21 to August 23, 2025.
JAC Chandigarh & Other Key Engineering Updates
Beyond Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu, other important engineering admission processes are also progressing. The Joint Admission Committee (JAC) Chandigarh is preparing for its next phase of admissions. The second spot round for B.Tech admissions will commence soon, with the vacant seat list expected to be released on August 21, 2025. This offers a final chance for many aspirants to secure a seat at top institutions in Chandigarh. The registration for this round will be active from August 21 to 22, 2025, and the seat allotment result will be announced on August 23, 2025. This last stage of the JAC counselling is vital for any remaining engineering seats.
Conclusion
With so many engineering admission deadlines happening concurrently, staying organized is key to success. Remember to check official websites regularly and complete all required steps on time. From MHT CET option filling to TNEA college reporting, today is a busy day for thousands of students.
