The State Common Entrance Test Cell, Maharashtra, has announced the much-awaited schedule for the Centralized Admission Process (CAP) Round-III for MAH BCA CET 2026 admissions. This is a crucial opportunity for all candidates who have not yet secured a seat or are looking to upgrade their previously allotted college. The provisional list of vacant seats for CAP Round-III has been displayed on the official website, cetcell.mahacet.org.

Aspirants must act quickly and follow the new timeline to participate in this final major round of counselling. The entire process, from submitting the option form to checking the final allotment, is conducted online.

Key Dates for CAP Round-III

• Option Form Submission & Confirmation (Online): September 19 – 21, 2025
• Provisional Allotment Display for Round-III: September 23, 2025
• Accepting the Allotted Seat: Candidates will have a few days after the allotment display to accept their seat, pay the fee, and confirm admission.

Important Steps for Round-III Participation

To participate in this round, candidates must fill out and submit a fresh option form indicating their preferences from the available vacant seats. The process is as follows:

1. Visit the Official Website: Log in to the official MAH CET Cell website, cetcell.mahacet.org, and navigate to the BCA admissions portal.
2. View Vacant Seats: First, check the list of provisional vacant seats for CAP Round-III to see which colleges and courses are available. This list was released yesterday, September 18.
3. Submit Option Form: Fill out the online option form with your preferred colleges and courses. Carefully arrange them in your order of priority based on the vacant seat matrix.
4. Confirm Submission: After reviewing your choices, confirm the option form submission to lock in your preferences. You must submit your choices by September 21, 2025.

Candidates who are allotted a seat in this round must accept the seat and report to the allotted institute to complete the admission process. If a candidate is allotted their first preference, the seat is automatically frozen, and they must proceed with admission. For other allotments, candidates can choose to 'freeze' their seat and confirm admission or 'not freeze' to participate in subsequent rounds if any are announced, though this is the final scheduled CAP round.
