What is MAH MBA CET 2026 CAP Round 2?
CAP Round 2 is the second round of Maharashtra’s Centralised Admission Process for MBA and MMS programs. CET Cell, Maharashtra, conducts it after the Round 1 seat allotment is complete. Students who did not get a seat in Round 1, or those who wish to move to a different college or programme, can submit a fresh set of preferences during the Round 2 window.
Seats vacated by students who did not confirm their Round 1 allotment are pooled back and made available in Round 2. Participation is not automatic — you must log in and actively fill preferences within the registration window. Missing the deadline means you cannot participate in Round 2, though Round 3 (if conducted) may still be available.
