Important Points for Candidates
- A candidate will be treated as registered for CAP Round 3 only after successful payment of the registration fee.
- Candidates must click the Submit button after uploading all documents, otherwise the form will be rejected. Those who fail to upload and submit the required documents will not be considered for admission or for the claimed category.
- Corrections during the grievance period will be accepted only with supporting documents.
- Candidates who have a joined status up to CAP Round 2 in AIQ rounds (State and Central) and are allotted a seat in AIQ CAP Round 3 will be removed from the selection list, even if they have filled choices.
- Candidates allotted a seat through AIQ (Central or State) in CAP Round 3 will not be allotted a seat in State Counselling CAP Round 3. Candidates should fill their preferences carefully, as joining the allotted seat is mandatory once it is allotted.
- The schedule for subsequent stray vacancy rounds will be announced later.
- The schedule is subject to change as per directions of MCC, AACCC, the Central Government, the State Government or the Hon’ble Court.
Candidates are advised to visit the official website, www.mahacet.org, regularly for notifications, updates and further instructions.
