MHT CET MTech CAP 2026 Round 3 Cutoff Out: Reporting Deadline August 28

For MTech aspirants who made it to Round 3 of Maharashtra's CAP counselling, this is the number that finally tells the full story.

For MTech aspirants who made it to Round 3 of Maharashtra's CAP counselling, this is the number that finally tells the full story. The State Common Entrance Test Cell (CET Cell), Maharashtra has released the MHT CET MTech CAP 2026 Round 3 cutoff, and with it comes a tight reporting window that closes fast — miss it, and the allotted seat is simply gone.

Where to Find It

The cutoff is out as a single institute-wise PDF on fe2026.mahacet.org, also available through the CET Cell's document server. It lists closing percentiles across every branch offered under state CAP, institute by institute — so candidates need to search for their specific college and specialization rather than expecting one blanket number.

The Reporting Clock Is Already Running

Here's the part candidates can't afford to overlook: the reporting window opened on August 25 and shuts on August 28, 2026. That's just a few days to accept the seat online and physically report to the institute. Anyone who misses this deadline forfeits the seat outright — there's no grace period built in.

Round 3 Cutoff: Specialization-Wise Closing Percentile

Categories the Cutoff Covers

This isn't a single blanket figure — closing percentiles are broken down across General, OBC, SC, ST, VJ, NT, SBC, EWS, and TFWS categories, with separate columns for State (Maharashtra domicile) and All India seats. Female sub-category cutoffs are listed too, wherever applicable.

Downloading the Cutoff PDF

1. Visit fe2026.mahacet.org.
2. Click on the CAP Round 3 cutoff link on the homepage.
3. Open the institute-wise MTech cutoff PDF.
4. Use the search function to find your institute or branch.
5. Note the closing percentile for your category and seat type.
6. Save or print the PDF for reference.

Why Round 3 Is Different From the Earlier Rounds

This is the final CAP round for MTech admissions this year — there isn't a Round 4 waiting in the wings. Candidates who skip reporting now lose their shot at a state-quota MTech seat entirely, and whatever remains unfilled after Round 3 shifts over to institute-level counselling instead.

What Candidates Should Do Before August 28

1. Download the Round 3 cutoff PDF from fe2026.mahacet.org.
2. Check the closing percentile for your allotted institute and branch.
3. Log in to the candidate dashboard and accept the seat online.
4. Pay the seat acceptance fee before the deadline.
5. Keep originals of your MHT CET 2026 scorecard, degree, mark sheets, category certificate, and domicile proof ready.
6. Report to the allotted institute in person by August 28, 2026.

Once this window closes, watch the CET Cell portal for the post-Round 3 vacant seat matrix — institute-level counselling for unfilled MTech seats is expected to follow shortly after.
