For lakhs of engineering aspirants in Maharashtra, today is a day filled with hope and crucial decisions. The State Common Entrance Test Cell has officially released the provisional vacant seat matrix for MHT CET CAP Round 4. This final centralized counselling round is a game-changer for candidates who have not yet been allotted a seat in the previous three rounds. The move to introduce a fourth CAP round for the 2025 academic year was a significant policy change aimed at ensuring that fewer engineering seats go vacant.
The newly released list provides a clear picture of the seats that are now available in various colleges across the state. It is a golden opportunity to get into a good B.Tech college. Candidates must meticulously review this list to identify colleges and branches that align with their MHT CET rank and preferences.
How to Check the Vacant Seats List & What Comes Next
Checking the vacant seats list is the first and most important step in preparing for the CAP Round 4 option form. Here is what you need to do:
- Visit the Official Portal: Log in to your candidate account on the official MHT CET admission portal.
- Access the Link: Locate and click on the "Provisional Vacant Seats for CAP Round 4" link. The list is typically available in PDF format, categorized by college and branch.
- Analyze Carefully: Do not just look at the total number of vacant seats. Pay attention to the seats available in your specific category (e.g., OBC, SC, ST, EWS, etc.). This detailed view will help you create a more strategic and realistic choice list.
The next critical step is filling the option form. The online submission and confirmation of the option form for CAP Round 4 will be open from August 28 to August 30. You must prepare a list of colleges and courses you wish to apply to based on the vacant seats now available.
Strategizing Your Final Choice List
This is the last centralized counselling round, which means there are no "betterment" options available after this. The seat allotted in CAP Round 4 will be final. Therefore, you must be extremely careful with your choices.
- Prioritize Realistically: While it's good to aim for top-tier colleges, ensure you also include a good number of colleges where your MHT CET rank gives you a high chance of getting a seat.
- Fill More Options: Do not limit your choices. Fill out as many colleges and branches as you are comfortable with. The more options you provide, the higher your chances of securing admission.
Once you have filled and locked your option form, the provisional allotment of CAP Round 4 will be displayed on September 1, 2025. Candidates who receive a seat must then report to the allotted institute between September 2 and 4, 2025, to confirm their B.Tech admission by submitting the required documents and paying the fees.
