The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell has announced a significant update for the engineering admission process for the academic year 2024-25. In a move aimed at providing more opportunities for students, there will now be four rounds of the Centralised Admission Process (CAP) for BE and BTech courses. π
This is a notable change from the previous structure, which consisted of three CAP rounds followed by a separate round to fill vacant seats. The new, consolidated four-round process is designed to streamline admissions and offer students greater flexibility in securing a seat in their preferred college.
According to the State CET Cell, this revision aims to make the admission process more efficient. By integrating the process into four distinct rounds, authorities hope to fill a maximum number of seats through the CAP system itself, potentially reducing the uncertainty and stress students faced with the earlier format.
What does this mean for students? π€
More Chances: With an additional round, students have one more opportunity to be allotted a seat based on their merit and preferences.
Better Planning: The clear four-round structure allows students and parents to plan their admission strategy more effectively.
This change applies to all engineering colleges under the purview of the state admission process. Aspirants who have appeared for the MHT-CET and are awaiting the admission process should take note of this new format. The detailed schedule and guidelines for the four CAP rounds are expected to be released soon on the official CET Cell website.
Students are advised to keep a close watch on the official announcements to stay updated on the upcoming admission timeline and procedures. π
