Following the release of the first list, colleges started the verification process from May 27. Students whose names appeared in the first merit list are currently uploading documents and paying fees to confirm their admission. The process will remain open till May 29 at 3 PM.

Many colleges witnessed high competition in commerce and professional courses. Courses like BAF, BFM, BBI, BMS, Psychology, and BSc IT recorded higher cut-offs compared to traditional BA and BSc programmes.

Class 12 marksheet
Aadhaar card or valid photo ID

Caste certificate for reserved category students
Passport-size photographs

Professional Courses Continue to See High Demand

This year, Mumbai University colleges are witnessing increased demand for skill-based and professional undergraduate courses. According to reports, students are preferring programmes that offer better career opportunities and industry exposure.

Courses such as:

Bachelor of Management Studies (BMS)
Bachelor of Accounting and Finance (BAF)
Bachelor of Banking and Insurance (BBI)
Bachelor of Financial Markets (BFM)
BSc Information Technology
Data Science and Analytics

have seen strong competition across major colleges.

On the other hand, cut-offs for some traditional BA and BSc programmes have slightly decreased in several colleges. Experts believe this trend reflects changing student preferences toward career-oriented education.

Colleges Releasing Merit Lists

Several reputed Mumbai University-affiliated colleges have already released their first merit lists and are expected to publish second lists on May 30. These include:

St. Xavier’s College
HR College of Commerce and Economics
Mithibai College
Sophia College for Women
Ramnarain Ruia Autonomous College
KC College
Bhavan’s College
DG Ruparel College
Kelkar College
Rizvi College
Vivekanand Education Society’s College
Thakur College of Science and Commerce

Different colleges may release merit lists at slightly different timings. Students should regularly monitor official websites for updates.

Competition Remains High Across Top Colleges

Admissions to top Mumbai colleges remain highly competitive every year. Some courses in leading colleges have reported cut-offs above 90 percent in the general category.

Reports suggest that popular combinations such as Economics, Psychology, Computer Science, Commerce, and Financial Studies are seeing strong demand. In colleges like St. Xavier’s and Sophia College, some programmes recorded very high closing percentages in the first round itself.

Students with lower percentages are expected to benefit from the second and third merit lists, especially in aided courses and colleges with larger seat intake.

Third Merit List Also Scheduled

Mumbai University has also announced the schedule for the third merit list. According to the official timeline, the third list will be released on June 4, 2026. Candidates selected in the third round will complete document verification and fee payment between June 5 and June 9.

The university may release additional rounds if seats remain vacant after the third merit list.

Admission Process Under NEP Framework

The UG admission process this year is continuing under the National Education Policy framework. Many colleges have introduced multidisciplinary and skill-focused programmes aligned with NEP guidelines.

Experts believe that the new structure is encouraging flexibility in subject selection and improving employability opportunities for students. Colleges are also expanding self-financed and vocational courses to meet growing demand.

Students Advised to Stay Alert

With the second merit list approaching, students are advised to regularly check college websites and keep all documents ready. Missing deadlines for verification or fee payment may result in cancellation of allotted seats.

Students should also maintain stable internet access while checking merit lists because heavy traffic often causes delays or temporary website crashes during result hours.

Candidates who are not selected in the second round should not panic, as several colleges witness seat movement after each admission phase. Keeping backup options ready and following all updates carefully can improve chances of securing admission.

Mumbai University remains one of the most sought-after universities in India for undergraduate education. With admissions progressing quickly, the upcoming second merit list will play an important role in finalising seats for thousands of students across Mumbai and nearby regions.
