For thousands of law aspirants in Maharashtra, the clock is ticking. The Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell, Maharashtra, has announced that today, August 23, 2025, is the final day for candidates to complete the choice filling for the MH CET Law 2025 5-year LLB program. This is the last and most critical step for students who have qualified for the exam to participate in the Centralized Admission Process (CAP) and secure a seat in one of the prestigious law colleges across the state. The online portal will close at the end of the day, and students must ensure they submit their preferences before the deadline. Only Education emphasizes the urgency of this process for every student on their journey to a legal career.

This choice filling period is part of CAP Round 3 of the MH CET Law counselling process. It is open to all candidates, including those who did not secure a seat in the previous two rounds and those who are filling their choices for the first time. The seat allotment for this round will be based entirely on the choices filled by the candidates, their rank in the MH CET Law exam, and the availability of seats.

Final Deadline: A Step-by-Step Guide to Choice Filling

Given the impending deadline, it is essential for all candidates to act immediately. Here are the key steps for completing the choice filling process:

• Log in to the Portal: Candidates must log in to the official CAP portal using their credentials.
• Fill in Your Choices: Select the law colleges and courses you wish to be considered for. It's crucial to rank them in order of your genuine preference, from the most desired to the least.
• Save and Lock Your Choices: After selecting all your preferences, you must save and, most importantly, lock your choices. The portal will not consider your choices for seat allotment unless they are locked. An unlocked form will be treated as invalid.

The process is entirely online, and no physical presence is required for this stage of the counselling process.

Strategic Advice for Choice Filling: Maximize Your Admission Chances

Filling out the options strategically can significantly improve your chances of getting a seat. Here's what every law aspirant should keep in mind:

• Research Thoroughly: Do not just fill out choices based on college rankings. Research each college's faculty, infrastructure, fees, and location. This ensures you make an informed decision about your legal education.
• Fill as Many Choices as Possible: The more colleges you select, the higher your chances of being allotted a seat. It is a common mistake for students to fill only a few choices, which can lead to no seat allotment.
• Prioritize Wisely: Your top choices should be the law colleges you genuinely want to get into. The allotment will first try to place you in your higher-ranked choices before moving down the list.

What Comes Next: Allotment and Document Verification

Once the choice filling window closes today, the CET Cell will proceed with the seat allotment. The tentative schedule for the upcoming events is as follows:

• Publication of Alphabetical List: An alphabetical merit list for Round 3 is expected to be displayed on August 28, 2025.
• Publication of Final Merit List: The final merit list for this round will be published on September 4, 2025.
• Seat Allotment: The provisional seat allotment for Round 3 will be released on September 8, 2025.
• Reporting to Allotted College: Candidates who secure a seat must report to their respective colleges between September 9 and September 11, 2025, for document verification and fee payment.

It is a crucial time for all MH CET Law candidates. Do not wait for the last minute to fill your choices. For a successful law admission, it is vital to complete this step meticulously.
