The Maharashtra State CET Cell will release the MHT CET 2026 provisional merit list on July 22 for candidates in the CAP BE/BTech admissions, with ranks based on CET performance and Class 12 marks. After downloading the provisional list from cetcell.mahacet.org or fe2026.mahacet.org, applicants should review details carefully and can raise objections or correct errors during the grievance window. The grievance period runs through July 23–25, after which the final merit list will be published on July 27, followed by the CAP counselling steps, including choice filling and option entry, and eventually seat allotment. The provisional list and objection process apply similarly across BE/BTech CAP rounds, with a final merit list determining subsequent admission steps. Some reports also note an expected provisional CAP Round-I allotment date around August 2, 2026, after finalizing grievances and the final merit list.
