The MAH MBA CET CAP registration process is currently underway, giving over 1.4 lakh MBA and MMS aspirants their next step toward admission at Maharashtra’s top B-schools. The State Common Entrance Test Cell released the official CAP 2026-27 Admission Notice No. 1 on 2 July 2026, and candidates can now complete their MAH MBA CET CAP 2026 registration at cetcell.mahacet.org through 12 July 2026 (up to 5:00 PM).
The Centralised Admission Process (CAP) is the state’s official counselling route for MBA/MMS admission across 300+ participating institutes, including JBIMS, SIMSREE, PUMBA and Welingkar. Both Maharashtra State and All India category candidates, along with those holding CAT, XAT, CMAT, MAT, ATMA or GMAT scores, are eligible to take part.
MAH MBA CET CAP 2026 Registration: Key Dates
Candidates completing their MAH MBA CET CAP 2026 registration should keep the following dates in mind:
- CAP registration and document upload window: 2 July 2026 to 12 July 2026
- Document verification (e-scrutiny/physical scrutiny): 3 July 2026 to 13 July 2026
- Round 1 provisional seat allotment: expected around 15 July 2026
These dates come directly from the official Admission Notice, so candidates are encouraged to complete registration well within the window rather than waiting for the final hours.
Fee Structure for MAH MBA CET CAP Registration
As part of the MAH MBA CET CAP 2026 registration process, the counselling fee has been notified category-wise:
- General category (Maharashtra State, OMS/All India, J&K and Ladakh Migrants): ₹1,500
- Reserved category (SC, ST, VJ/DT-NT, OBC, SBC, EWS, SEBC, PwD, Orphan and Transgender candidates): ₹1,300
Candidates who already registered and paid for the MAH CET MBA/MMS exam earlier do not need to pay this fee again for the CAP round. NRI, OCI, PIO, CIWGC and Foreign National candidates must apply separately through fn.mahacet.org.
How to Complete MAH MBA CET CAP 2026 Registration
The counselling registration process follows these steps:
- Visit the official portal at cetcell.mahacet.org and log in using your CET credentials.
- Fill in personal, academic and category details as part of the online application.
- Upload the required documents, including domicile certificate, degree marksheets and category certificates where applicable.
- Pay the applicable fee online and choose either e-scrutiny or a Facilitation Centre for physical document verification.
Keeping documents scanned and ready in advance helps candidates move smoothly through MAH MBA CET CAP 2026 registration without last-minute hurdles.
What Comes After Registration
Once the MAH MBA CET CAP registration window wraps up on 12 July, the CET Cell will move to merit list publication and option form (choice filling) for Round 1. Candidates who don’t secure their preferred seat in Round 1 will have further opportunities in CAP Round 2 and Round 3, which typically follow through August 2026. This structured, multi-round design has consistently helped Maharashtra’s MBA aspirants secure seats aligned with their percentile and college preferences over the years.
