MHT CET, UPTAC & JAC 2025: Today’s Critical Counselling Deadlines for Engineering Aspirants

MHT CET and UPTAC aspirants face key deadlines today, August 25. This news guide provides a comprehensive checklist for physical reporting, document verification, and seat acceptance to finalize your engineering admission.

For thousands of engineering aspirants across India, today is one of the most crucial days of the 2025 admission season. Multiple state-level counselling processes are reaching pivotal final deadlines. From Maharashtra's MHT CET to Uttar Pradesh's UPTAC and JAC Chandigarh, qualified candidates must act immediately to secure their coveted engineering seats and avoid losing their chance at a top college.

The air is thick with anticipation and a sense of urgency as students complete the final formalities of their counselling journey. For every engineering aspirant, understanding these deadlines is paramount to success. This guide provides a detailed breakdown of the actions you need to take today to finalize your admission and begin your academic career.

Maharashtra: MHT CET CAP Round 3 Final Deadline

This is the most pressing deadline of the day. The State Common Entrance Test Cell, Maharashtra, has set August 25, 2025, as the last date for physical reporting and admission confirmation for candidates allotted a seat in MHT CET CAP Round 3. This is a non-negotiable step.

Candidates who have paid the seat acceptance fee online must physically visit their allotted B.Tech college with all original documents and a set of photocopies. Failure to report by the end of the day will result in the cancellation of the allotted seat, and the candidate will not be considered for admission in this round. For those who were not allotted a seat, hope is not lost; the schedule for the next CAP Round 4 and institute-level admissions will be released soon.

Uttar Pradesh: UPTAC Special Round 1 Document Verification Ends

For those participating in the Uttar Pradesh Technical Admission Counselling (UPTAC), today is the last day for online document verification for Special Round 1. The portal closes at midnight on August 25, 2025. This step is a prerequisite for choice filling and final seat allotment.

Candidates who have registered must ensure their uploaded documents are verified successfully. If any queries are raised by the verification team, candidates must respond promptly with the corrected documents. Since UPTAC Special Round 1 is crucial for filling vacant seats, aspirants should not delay this process. The next step is choice filling, which is open until August 26, so a successful verification today is vital.

JAC Chandigarh 2025: Physical Reporting for Second Spot Round

The Joint Admission Committee (JAC) Chandigarh has also scheduled its Second Spot Round physical reporting for today, August 25, 2025. Candidates who have been allotted a seat in the second spot round must report to their respective engineering institutes in person. This includes document verification, fee payment, and completing all necessary formalities. This is a final opportunity for many candidates to secure a seat at a premier institution.

Important Reminders for Today

Beyond these major updates, other counselling events are also in progress. The TNEA 2025 SCA to SC counselling, for instance, begins today and will continue until August 26. For all aspirants, the advice from Only Education is clear: re-check your portals, verify your deadlines, and ensure all documents are in order. Physical reporting is not just a formality; it is the final act of your admission journey.

Aspirants are strongly advised to double-check their documents before reporting to the college. Common documents required include the allotment letter, scorecards of entrance exams like JEE Main or MHT CET, and all academic certificates. Make sure you carry a valid ID proof and recent photographs. For more news and articles on the engineering counselling process, you can find a comprehensive guide on Only Education Engineering Exams.
