The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test Cell (CET Cell), Mumbai has announced a revised deadline for admissions to various degree and postgraduate degree professional courses under technical education for the academic year 2026-27.

According to Circular No. ???????-1226/???.???.007/?????/2026/2187 dated September 7, 2026, the admission deadline has been revised in accordance with the directions issued by the Hon'ble Supreme Court on August 12, 2026 (MA No. 2380/2026) and the revised AICTE Academic Calendar dated August 13, 2026.

Maharashtra CET Admission 2026: Final Date September 14

As per the revised schedule, September 14, 2026 will be the final date for admission to the concerned professional courses.

The deadline will apply to all types of admissions, including admissions conducted through the Centralised Admission Process (CAP) as well as institutional-level admission rounds.

Candidates participating in ongoing CAP rounds or institutional-level rounds must ensure that their complete admission process is finished before the final deadline.

Students Must Complete Admission Formalities Before Deadline

The Maharashtra CET Cell has advised all eligible candidates participating in the ongoing admission rounds to complete all required formalities within the prescribed deadline.

Candidates must ensure that the following activities, wherever applicable, are completed before September 14, 2026:

• Admission confirmation
• Required fee payment
• Document-related formalities
• Portal/system reporting
• Other admission formalities prescribed by the concerned authority or institution

Students and parents are advised to carefully monitor the admission status and ensure that no required step remains pending.

Deadline Applies to Centralised and Institutional-Level Admissions

The revised September 14 deadline will be applicable to admissions conducted through both:

1. Centralised Admission Process (CAP) rounds
2. Institutional-level admission rounds

Therefore, candidates seeking admission through institute-level vacancies must also ensure that their admission is completed within the revised final date.

Institutions are also required to complete the necessary admission and system-reporting formalities within the prescribed timeline.

Supreme Court and AICTE Directions Behind Revision

The Maharashtra CET Cell has cited two key references for the revised admission deadline:

• Hon'ble Supreme Court order dated August 12, 2026, in MA No. 2380/2026
• AICTE Revised Academic Calendar dated August 13, 2026

Based on these directions, the State CET Cell has revised the final admission deadline for the relevant professional courses for the academic year 2026-27.

4. Complete portal/system reporting wherever required.
5. Submit any pending documents to the concerned institution.
6. Ensure that the admission is fully completed on or before September 14, 2026.
