The IMU CET 2026 Round 1 Allotment result has been released by the Indian Maritime University on its official portal, imu.edu.in, giving qualified candidates their first seat allocation for undergraduate maritime programmes across the university’s six campuses. The allotment follows counselling registration, which ran from June 14 to 19, and has been prepared based on each candidate’s CET rank, category, seat availability, and the preferences submitted during choice filling.
How to Check Your Allotment Status
Candidates can view their IMU CET 2026 Round 1 Allotment by following these steps:
- Visit the official portal at imu.edu.in or the exam login page
- Log in using your application number and password
- Navigate to the “Round 1 Seat Allotment” link on your dashboard
- Check your allotted campus, programme, and category status
- Download and save the allotment letter for the next stages of admission
The result covers admission to six IMU campuses — Chennai, Kolkata, Navi Mumbai, Mumbai Port, Visakhapatnam, and Kochi — offering programmes such as B.Tech Marine Engineering, B.Sc Nautical Science, and MBA in Port and Shipping Management, among others.
What Allotted Candidates Must Do Next
Candidates who have secured a seat in this round need to act quickly, since the admission window is tight. Key steps and deadlines to note:
- Seat acceptance and document verification must be completed within the window specified by the university, typically just a few days after allotment
- A seat acceptance fee of ₹30,000 must be paid online to confirm the allotted seat
- Original documents along with self-attested photocopies must be submitted for verification — incomplete documents can lead to cancellation
- Candidates unhappy with their Round 1 seat can retain it and try for an upgrade in Round 2, though the Round 1 acceptance fee is forfeited if they later switch
Rounds Ahead and Programme Start Date
IMU conducts counselling across three regular allotment rounds plus spot rounds for any seats left vacant, meaning candidates who miss out this time still have further chances. With over a lakh candidates having registered for IMU CET 2026 — nearly double last year’s numbers — competition for top campuses and programmes such as Marine Engineering remains high. Academic sessions for selected candidates are scheduled to begin on August 1, 2026, so candidates are advised to complete all formalities well within the deadline and keep checking imu.edu.in for Round 2 updates.
