  "summary": "The Centralised Admission Process (CAP) for Direct Second Year Engineering (BE/BTech) courses in Maharashtra has concluded its third round, resulting in the admission of 3,756 fresh students to the academic year 2026-27. This figure represents a small fraction of the 36,803 students who were initially considered for the round, with 3,790 students securing their preferred college placements and being placed under the 'Auto Freeze' option. Students in this category must confirm their admission by August 28, 2026, while those who rejected their allotted seats will not be eligible for the fourth CAP round and will have to wait for the subsequent institutional-level admission round.",
