Two Modes of Document Verification
The CET Cell has introduced two options for document verification in the CAP 2026 process. Candidates can choose the one that is most suitable for them while filling out the form.
E-Scrutiny Mode
Under this mode, candidates upload scanned copies of their documents through the portal. Officials verify the documents online without requiring a visit to a center. This option is ideal for those who live outside Maharashtra or in remote areas.
Physical Scrutiny Mode
In this mode, candidates visit the chosen scrutiny center with their original documents. Verification is done in person during the assigned time slot. A full list of centers is available on the CAP portal.
