Maharashtra DTE Admissions 2026: CET Cell Issues Instructions For Vacant Seats After CAP Rounds

Maharashtra's Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) admissions for 2026 have seen the Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell release instructions for filling vacant seats following the Centralised Admission Process (CAP) rounds. Colleges are required to adhere strictly to Rule 13 of the Information Brochure for institutional-level admissions, which must be conducted post-CAP completion and based on applicants' inter-se merit.

Colleges must publish admission details, rules, and the relevant prospectus on their official websites. Candidates can directly apply to the concerned college or fill an institutional-level Option Form via their CAP portal login. Once colleges receive applications and the list of eligible students from the CET Cell, they must compile an official merit list, displaying it on the notice board and website.

Upon admission confirmation, colleges must update admission details on the CAP portal immediately. The CET Cell strongly advises students and parents to avoid admission agents or intermediaries, warning against offers made before CAP rounds. They also caution against false information on social media, from agents, or private counsellors. Students and parents are urged to rely solely on official sources like the CET Cell and concerned college websites for accurate information.
