MHT CET CAP 2026: JEE Main Percentile Fetch Issue Resolved; Candidates Asked to Update ApplicationsThe State Common Entrance Test Cell, Maharashtra, has resolved the technical glitch that prevented engineering aspirants from importing their JEE Main 2026 percentile scores onto the Centralised Admission Process (CAP) portal. Candidates who faced errors while registering for BE and BTech programs can now successfully pull their scores via DigiLocker and update their applications. As the registration window moves toward its final stretch, the CET Cell has issued an important notice asking all affected candidates to review, unlock, and complete their forms. Failing to add your valid scores before the deadline could keep you out of the final Maharashtra engineering merit list. Why Was the JEE Main Score Fetch Failing?For the 2026 admission cycle, the Maharashtra CET Cell made it mandatory for All India Candidature candidates to submit their JEE Main scores through an automatic DigiLocker integration. This instruction aligns with the guidelines set by the National Testing Agency (NTA). However, thousands of students hit a roadblock during registration. The system failed to fetch the data due to a name mismatch issue. If a candidate’s name on their JEE Main scorecard did not exactly match the name registered on their DigiLocker profile, the portal automatically blocked the data transfer. After receiving numerous complaints, the CET Cell coordinated with the NTA to fix the backend communication loop, restoring the auto-fetch feature completely. What Affected Candidates Need to Do NowIf you are an engineering aspirant applying through your JEE Main percentile, your action plan depends on whether you have already submitted your form or if it is still pending.1. If Your Application is Still IncompleteLog in directly to the official CAP portal (cetcell.mahacet.org), navigate to the academic qualification section, and click the option to fetch your score via DigiLocker.2. If You Already Confirmed Your Application Without JEE Main ScoresMany candidates panicked due to the glitch and finalized their registration without linking their JEE Main percentile. You can still correct this, but you must unlock your application form first. The unlocking method depends on the verification mode you chose: For E-Scrutiny Candidates: You do not need to go anywhere. Log in to your profile on the CAP portal and submit an official grievance request to get your application form unlocked online.For Physical Scrutiny Candidates: You must visit your designated Facilitation Centre (FC) or Scrutiny Centre (SC) in person. Request the staff to unlock your application so you can update your scores.Once unlocked, re-run the DigiLocker pull command, verify that the auto-filled percentile matches your actual scorecard, and submit the corrected form.Step-by-Step Guide to Fetching Your ScoreTo ensure the process goes smoothly, complete the verification in these two distinct stages:Stage 1 (DigiLocker): Open your personal DigiLocker app or website. Go to the NTA section and ensure your official JEE Main 2026 scorecard has been issued and is visible in your account.Stage 2 (CAP Portal): Go to cetcell.mahacet.org and access the engineering candidate login. Proceed to the JEE Main score field, click “Fetch from DigiLocker,” grant the necessary access permissions, and check the auto-populated data before saving.
