Mumbai University CAP Admission 2026: Key Details

The Maharashtra CET Cell's official CAP page separately lists the admission portals for BE/BTech, BCA, BBA/BMS, MCA, MBA/MMS, ME/MTech and Direct Second Year Engineering for the 2026-27 admission cycle.

Courses Covered Under MU CAP 2026 Extension

The revised deadline applies to eight professional programmes across undergraduate and postgraduate levels. At the undergraduate level, the covered programmes are Bachelor of Engineering (BE), Bachelor of Management Studies (BMS), Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA), Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA) and Direct Second Year Engineering (DSE). At the postgraduate level, the extension covers Master of Computer Applications (MCA), Master of Management Studies (MMS) and Master of Engineering (ME). Candidates should check the admission rules and CAP instructions applicable to their individual programme before completing the process.

Who Can Complete Admission Under the Extended Deadline?

The extended deadline is relevant to candidates participating in the applicable CAP process and meeting the eligibility requirements for their selected programme. For engineering admissions, the Maharashtra CET Cell's CAP framework includes BE/BTech and Direct Second Year Engineering as separate admission streams. The applicable entrance examination, qualification and category requirements depend on the programme and CAP rules. For BBA, BMS and BCA admissions, candidates are required to follow the applicable Maharashtra CET Cell admission process and use the relevant entrance examination credentials where prescribed. Similarly, MCA, MMS and ME candidates must satisfy the respective programme's CAP eligibility and entrance-score requirements. Candidates should therefore avoid assuming that one entrance examination rule applies to all eight programmes.
