MHT CET 2026 CAP Round 2 seat allotment result is expected to release by the State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell, Maharashtra, on August 12, 2026. As of the latest update, the result had not yet gone live; it is expected to be activated on the official portal fe2026.mahacet.org sometime between 5:00 PM and 9:00 PM IST today.
