MAH BBA CET Counselling 2026: Dates, Fees, Process and Top Colleges

If you took the MAH BBA CET exam this year, the wait is finally over. Maharashtra's CET Cell has opened the CAP 2026 registration window, and this is your ticket to a seat in one of the state's 1000+ colleges offering BBA, BCA, BMS, and BBM courses.

Let's break down everything you need to know, without the confusing jargon.

Key Dates You Cannot Miss

Mark these dates on your calendar (or set ten reminders, we won't judge):

Event	Date
Online registration	06-Jul-2026 to 16-Jul-2026, up to 5:00 PM
Document verification	07-Jul-2026 to 17-Jul-2026, up to 5:00 PM

The exam itself was held on April 28, 29, and 30, with results out on June 11. Seat allotment dates will be announced later, so keep checking the portal.

Who Can Apply?

You should have cleared Class 12 and scored above zero in MAH BBA/BCA/BMS/BBM CET 2026.
An AICTE-approved Diploma in Commercial Practice also makes you eligible.
All India category candidates can apply using their CUET UG score instead of CET.

Good news: there is no minimum score cutoff to participate. As long as you scored more than zero, you're in the game. Seat allotment, though, still depends on the cutoff for each college.
