The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell has announced the first round of seat allotment for the MHT CET CAP 2026 counselling process. This round covers admissions to BBA, BMS, BBM, and integrated MBA programs across the state. Students who have been allotted seats must confirm their admission by August 12 by reporting to their respective colleges and paying the required fees.
Understanding MHT CET CAP Counselling for BBA and Related Courses
The MHT CET CAP (Centralized Admission Process) is a state-level counselling system that allocates seats to candidates based on their entrance exam ranks and preferences for various colleges and courses. For 2026, the counselling process includes four rounds, allowing students multiple opportunities to secure a seat in their desired program. The courses involved in this round include Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA), Bachelor of Management Studies (BMS), Bachelor of Business Management (BBM), and integrated MBA programs.
Students participate by submitting their preferences online, and the CET Cell matches these preferences with their merit rank to allot seats accordingly. Those not satisfied with their allotted seat in round one can opt to participate in subsequent rounds to improve their chances.
