MAH 3-Year LLB CAP 2026 institutional round deadline extended: apply by 9 October

The State Common Entrance Test Cell (CET Cell), Maharashtra, has extended the deadline for new registration, form editing, and college choice filling for the MAH 3-Year LLB CAP 2026 Institutional Round. Aspiring candidates now have until October 9, 2026, to complete these processes on the official portal, llb3cap26.mahacet.org.

This extension aims to support the filling of seats that remained vacant after the regular Centralised Admission Process (CAP) rounds, providing a final opportunity for eligible applicants to secure admission before the academic session concludes. The Institutional Round is designed as the last phase of admissions for the 3-Year LLB program in Maharashtra.

Revised Schedule for Institutional Round Admissions

The CET Cell, Maharashtra, has updated the schedule for the MAH 3-Year LLB CAP 2026 Institutional Round, providing additional time for candidates to apply and confirm their admissions. The application form correction and college option choice filling for this extended round commenced on October 7, 2026, and was initially set to close on October 8, 2026, but has now been extended.

Following the extended application period, colleges are slated to generate their merit lists for the institutional level round on October 9, 2026, starting from 10:00 AM. Candidates who are allotted seats will then have from October 9, 2026, to October 10, 2026, to visit their respective colleges and confirm their admission. The final cut-off date for admission in this extended institutional level round is October 10, 2026.

Vacant Seats and Eligibility Criteria

The Institutional Round addresses the remaining vacancies in the 3-Year LLB program across Maharashtra. A total of 19,630 CAP seats are available in this round, distributed among 224 approved participating colleges. The total sanctioned intake for these colleges stands at 23,468 seats. This round is crucial for filling a significant portion of the available capacity.

Eligible candidates for the Institutional Round include those who did not receive an allotment in the earlier CAP rounds and fresh candidates who meet the MAH CET LLB 2026 eligibility criteria. It is mandatory for candidates to submit fresh college options in this round, as choices made in previous rounds will not be carried forward. The publication of vacant seats for the Institutional Round (ACAP) was initially on September 25, 2026, indicating the seats available for this final phase.
