Step 1: Check Your MHT CET Result Carefully
- Download and review your MHT CET 2025 scorecard from the official website.
- Verify your percentile score (for PCM or PCB group).
- Check subject-wise scores and confirm your personal details and category.
- Remember: MHT CET uses normalized scores across shifts.
Step 2: Predict Your College with a College Predictor Tool
Before counselling, use an MHT CET college predictor to estimate which colleges and branches you can get based on your percentile.
- Enter your percentile, category, gender, and region correctly.
- Make a list of possible colleges for choice filling.
Step 3: Keep These Documents Ready
You'll need the following documents for CAP counselling and admission:
- MHT CET 2025 Scorecard
- Class 10 and 12 Mark Sheets
- Domicile Certificate
- Caste Certificate (if applicable)
- Non-Creamy Layer / EWS Certificate (if applicable)
- Nationality or Birth Certificate

Step 4: Register for MHT CET Counselling (CAP)
- Visit the official site: https://fe2025.mahacet.org
- Register for CAP once the portal is open.
- Fill in accurate academic, personal, and category details.
- Upload the required documents for e-scrutiny (document verification).
Step 5: Choice Filling – Select Branches and Colleges
This is the most important step. Carefully choose:
- Your preferred branches (e.g., CSE, Mechanical, ENTC)
- Top engineering colleges in Maharashtra (e.g., COEP, VJTI, PICT)
- Include some backup options with lower cutoffs
Step 6: CAP Rounds and Seat Allotment
There are typically 3 CAP rounds:
- Seat allotment happens based on your merit, preferences, and availability.
- After seat allotment, confirm the seat by paying the admission fees.
- If not satisfied, you can participate in the next round.
Step 7: Freeze or Float Your Seat
- Freeze: You are satisfied and want to confirm the seat.
- Float: You want to wait for a better option in next rounds.
Step 8: Final Admission and Reporting
- After the final allotment, report physically to the allotted college.
- Carry original documents for final verification.
- Pay the balance fees and complete the admission process.
Bonus Tips:
- Don’t select colleges blindly based on cutoff; consider placements, faculty, and location.
- Keep backup options like private colleges (e.g., DY Patil, MIT-WPU, PCCOE).
- If your percentile is low, explore direct admission or management quota options.
