MHT CET 2026 Final Merit List Issued at mahacet.org
The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test Cell has officially published the MHT CET 2026 Final Merit List on July 27, 2026. Candidates seeking admission to undergraduate technical programs can access their merit status directly through the centralized admission portal at fe2026.mahacet.org. Alongside the rank list, admission authorities have also released the provisional category-wise seat matrix for CAP Round 1 on the same date.
Eligibility to view the merit statement is extended to applicants who completed their registration, verified mandatory documents, and submitted grievance requests between July 23, 2026, and July 25, 2026. The finalized merit positions outlined in this official publication will form the sole baseline for allocating seats across every subsequent counseling cycle during the CAP 2026 admissions season.
Authorities advise applicants to thoroughly examine all personal details, home university designations, category classifications, and assigned merit ranks. Because these recorded entries directly govern individual priority during seat distribution, verifying accurate records is critical prior to choice submission.
