Candidates should rely only on the two official domains above. The CET Cell has cautioned aspirants against downloading merit lists or entering credentials on any unofficial or third-party website.
What Happens After the Final Merit List Is Released
Once the MHT CET 2026 final merit list is out, the process moves directly into CAP counselling:
- Candidates whose names appear on the final merit list can fill and lock their college and branch preferences during CAP Round 1 option entry, scheduled for July 28-30, 2026.
- The CET Cell will process option forms and release the CAP Round 1 provisional seat allotment result on August 2, 2026.
- Candidates who receive a seat allotment must accept it and report to the allotted institute with original documents between August 3 and 5, 2026, along with the required admission fee.
Important Instructions
- The final merit list is binding and used directly for seat allotment - no further objections are typically entertained after this stage. (Candidates should confirm this on the official notification, as the CET Cell has not published a separate post-final-list objection policy at the time of writing.)
- Use only fe2026.mahacet.org or cetcell.mahacet.org to download the list.
- Cross-check your rank, category, and percentile carefully against your MHT CET 2026 scorecard.
- Keep your application number and login credentials handy, as some sections of the CAP portal may require them.
