Mumbai University CAP Admission 2026: Apply by October 16

The University of Mumbai has extended the deadline for CAP Admission 2026 for both undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) courses to October 16, 2026. This decision follows specific directions issued by the Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test Cell.

A notice regarding this extension was published around October 7, 2026, providing candidates additional time to complete their admission processes. The official source for this notification is collegedunia.com/news.

Context of Admission Deadlines and Processes

The extension of the CAP Admission 2026 deadline by the University of Mumbai occurs amidst various ongoing and rescheduled admission processes for the 2026-27 academic session. For instance, the UBS Mumbai Admission Process 2026 CAP Round 4 allotment was released earlier on September 3, 2026. These extensions and adjustments in schedules are common in the current academic year, particularly in light of changes to major entrance examinations.

The BAMS admission process for the 2026-27 academic session, which is primarily governed by NEET UG 2026, has also seen significant changes. The NEET UG 2026 exam, originally scheduled for May 3, 2026, was cancelled and is slated to be re-conducted, impacting aspiring Ayurvedic practitioners across the state and country. Students are advised to monitor official National Testing Agency (NTA) and AYUSH Admissions Central Counseling Committee (AACCC) websites for updates on re-examination dates and counselling schedules.

Eligibility Criteria for BAMS Admission 2026
