Welcome to Ekosh Online. The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test (MHT CET) Cell has officially released the provisional seat allotment results for the first round of the Centralized Admission Process (CAP) for B.E. and B.Tech programs on July 31, 2025. This announcement marks a pivotal moment for thousands of aspiring engineers seeking admission to prestigious colleges across Maharashtra.
Candidates can now check their allotment status on the official website, cetcell.mahacet.org, using their registered login credentials. The release of the Round 1 seat allotment results follows a meticulous process of registration, merit list publication, and choice filling, culminating in allocations based on candidates’ MHT CET scores, preferences, and seat availability.
Key Dates and Counselling Process
The MHT CET 2025 counselling process for engineering and pharmacy admissions began with online registration from June 28 to July 14, 2025. The provisional merit list was published on July 18, followed by a grievance submission period from July 19 to 22. The final merit list, which forms the basis for seat allocation, was released on July 24. The CAP Round 1 option entry, during which candidates locked in their preferred colleges and courses, took place from July 26 to 28, 2025. The provisional seat matrix for Round 1 was displayed on July 25, providing transparency on available seats across participating institutes.
Following the announcement of the Round 1 seat allotment on July 31, candidates who have been allotted seats must confirm their admission by reporting to their designated institutes between August 1 and August 3, 2025. This involves submitting required documents and paying the admission fees. Candidates who fail to report within this period risk forfeiting their allotted seats. For those not allotted seats in Round 1 or who wish to participate in subsequent rounds, the MHT CET counselling process will continue with Rounds 2, 3, and 4, with schedules to be announced by the CET Cell.

Significance of the Seat Allotment Process
The MHT CET 2025 seat allotment is a critical step in securing admission to undergraduate engineering and pharmacy programs in Maharashtra. The process is designed to be fair and transparent, with allocations based on merit (as determined by MHT CET or JEE Main scores), candidate preferences, and category-wise seat availability. Over 4 lakh candidates appeared for the PCM group, and 2.82 lakh for the PCB group in the MHT CET 2025 exams, with 22 candidates achieving a perfect 100th percentile in PCM and 14 in PCB. The merit list for Round 1 included 2,13,556 candidates under the All India category and 2,02,784 under the Maharashtra state category, reflecting the competitive nature of the process.
Top institutes, such as Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute (VJTI), Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering (PCCOE), and K J Somaiya College of Engineering, are among the preferred choices, with cut-off percentiles typically ranging from 80 to 99 for B.Tech programs. Some colleges, such as PCCOE, have also introduced B.Tech courses in regional languages like Marathi, following AICTE approval, broadening access to technical education.
Next Steps for Candidates
Candidates allotted seats in Round 1 must visit their assigned institutes with original documents, including:
- MHT CET 2025 scorecard
- MHT CET 2025 admit card
- Class 10 and 12 mark sheets
- Domicile certificate (for Maharashtra candidates)
- Category certificate (if applicable)
- Allotment letter
Failure to complete the reporting process by August 3, 2025, will result in the cancellation of the allotted seat, which will then be made available in subsequent rounds. Candidates who wish to upgrade their allotment or participate in further rounds should stay updated via the official website for announcements regarding CAP Rounds 2 to 4.
For those who did not secure a seat in Round 1, the CET Cell advises reviewing the seat matrix and preparing for the next round of choice filling. The MHT CET counselling process also accommodates candidates applying through JEE Main scores, ensuring a broader pool of applicants for engineering admissions.
Important Notes
The CET Cell has emphasized that applications registered after July 14, 2025, will only be considered for non-CAP seats. Candidates from Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh will undergo separate counselling sessions. Additionally, the CET Cell has introduced measures like online grievance submission and mock tests (available for PCM on April 9 and PCB on April 7, 2025) to enhance accessibility and preparation.
For the latest updates, candidates should regularly check cetcell.mahacet.org or fe2025.mahacet.org. The MHT CET 2025 counselling process continues to uphold Maharashtra’s commitment to streamlined and merit-based admissions for professional courses.
