How to Apply: Maharashtra B.Pharma CAP Round 1 Choice Filling Steps
Once the CET Cell activates the option form link on ph2026.mahacet.org, candidates should follow these steps:
- Visit the official admission portal at ph2026.mahacet.org.
- Click on "Already Registered" and log in using your Application ID and Password (or Date of Birth, as applicable).
- Navigate to the CAP Round 1 Option Form link.
- Select your preferred B.Pharmacy or Pharm.D colleges and course choice codes, arranging them in strict order of preference.
- Save the draft, cross-check entries in "View Choice List" to avoid duplicates, then confirm and lock the Option Form using SMS or email OTP before the deadline.
- Download and save the "Confirmed Option Form PDF," which carries a system timestamp and digital signature watermark, for future reference.
Important Instructions
- Use an updated version of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge with pop-up blockers disabled for smooth OTP verification.
- Prefer a desktop or laptop over a mobile device to avoid accidental drag-and-drop errors while reordering preferences, even though the portal is mobile-responsive.
- The portal enforces an automatic 15-minute idle session timeout; save drafts frequently while filling long choice lists.
- If a candidate adds choices but does not explicitly lock the Option Form with OTP verification before the deadline, the system will auto-lock the saved choices as final.
- To modify a locked form before the official deadline, use the "Unlock Option Form" feature, make changes, and re-lock with a new OTP.
- If an allotted seat's required documents or the ₹1,000 seat acceptance fee are not submitted within the prescribed timeline, the seat is automatically forfeited.
- Grievances or data-mismatch issues can be raised through the portal's online grievance module, or by approaching the nearest Facilitation/Scrutiny Centre (FC/SC).
