1. Release of Category-Wise Seat Matrix

The CET Cell will display the institute-wise and category-wise seat availability (Seat Matrix) for CAP Round 1. This document details the exact number of seats available across open, reserved, home university, and other university quotas in top BCA colleges.

2. Filling and Submission of Option Form (CAP Round 1)

Candidates must log back into their account to fill in their preferred choices of institutes and courses. Applicants are advised to list multiple college preferences in descending order of priority, keeping their final merit rank and previous years’ cutoffs in mind.

3. Provisional Seat Allotment Result

Based on candidate merit ranks, category reservations, and choices submitted in the Option Form, the State CET Cell will publish the CAP Round 1 Provisional Seat Allotment. Allotted candidates will then have to choose whether to Freeze, Slide, or Float their seat and pay the seat acceptance fee online.

Important Tips for Candidates

• Check Cutoffs Realistically: Compare your final merit rank with last year’s college cutoffs to set practical options during choice filling.

• Keep Original Documents Ready: Keep all relevant certificates (Statement of Marks, Caste Certificate, Caste Validity, Non-Creamy Layer, Domicile, EWS Certificate, and Income Certificate) verified and ready for reporting.

• Strictly Adhere to Deadlines: Lock your college choices within the specified time window, as unsubmitted option forms will render candidates ineligible for CAP Round 1 seat allocation.

Candidates should regularly monitor bca2026.mahacet.org for real-time notifications regarding CAP Round 1 option filling, candidate login updates, and detailed seat matrix publications.
