|
Seat Acceptance Options Explained — Freeze, Float, Slide, Refuse
|
| Option |
What It Means |
| Freeze |
Choose this if satisfied with the allotted college/course. Pay the seat acceptance fee, download the allotment letter, and report to confirm admission. Candidates who get their Preference 1 choice are auto-frozen and cannot take part in later rounds. |
| Float |
Accept the current seat but stay eligible for an upgraded preference in Round 2. Candidates who Float and pay the fee do not need to submit original documents immediately during Round 1 reporting. |
| Slide |
Retain the current seat while seeking a higher-preference course within the same institute in later rounds. |
| Refuse |
Opt out of the Round 1 allotment entirely without paying the acceptance fee. This frees you to take part fully in CAP Round 2 without any seat locked. |
| Note on Fees (Cross-check on portal): Under the CET Cell’s revised progressive fee policy for CAP 2026-27 admissions (applied to UG professional programs), the seat acceptance fee tends to rise with each new “betterment” accepted across rounds (e.g., a lower fee for the first seat accepted, a higher fee for a subsequent upgraded seat), rather than a flat one-time charge. Always confirm the exact amount payable on the agri2026.mahacet.org fee-payment page before proceeding, as amounts can vary by category and course. |

4 State Agricultural Universities Covered Under CAP 2026
- Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth (MPKV), Rahuri
- Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth (PDKV), Akola
- Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth (VNMKV), Parbhani
- Dr. Balasaheb Sawant Konkan Krishi Vidyapeeth (BSKKV), Dapoli
Admissions are conducted for B.Sc Agriculture and allied courses (Horticulture, Forestry, Food Technology, Agricultural Biotechnology, Agri-Business Management, etc.) across roughly 195 constituent, government and private colleges affiliated with these four universities, with a combined intake of approximately 17,586 seats for the 2026-27 academic session.
|
What If You Are Not Allotted a Seat in Round 1?
- No need to reapply — your application automatically carries forward to CAP Round 2
- You will be able to modify, edit, or reshuffle your college and course preferences during the Round 2 option-entry window
- No extra application fee is charged for Round 2 participation
- Candidates who selected Float or Refuse in Round 1 also automatically become eligible for Round 2
|
Understanding Cutoffs — What Decides Your Seat
- Cutoffs are expressed as Total Merit Points, based on the candidate’s MHT CET (PCB) percentile/score, plus any applicable weightage (agriculturalist quota, sports, NCC, etc.)
- Cutoffs vary widely by college reputation, course, category, and Home University region — premier government colleges under MPKV, PDKV, VNMKV and BSKKV typically close at higher merit points than private/unaided colleges
- Since Round 1 cutoffs depend on the actual pool of options filled and seats available this year, refer to the official Round 1 Allotment List PDF (linked above) or the merit-list section on agri2026.mahacet.org for the exact closing rank/point at your preferred college and course
- Cutoffs typically drop further in Round 2 and Round 3 as higher-preference candidates “slide” or “float” out of lower-preference seats, opening opportunities for those still in the counselling pool
|
Important Advisories for Candidates
- Rely only on the official portals — agri2026.mahacet.org or cetcell.mahacet.org — for allotment letters, merit lists, and fee payment
- Do not share login passwords or payment details on third-party websites, social media groups, or with unknown “agents”
- Pay admission fees only through official online channels or directly at the college accounts desk against an official receipt
- State CET Cell and MCAER have issued a strict advisory warning candidates against fraudulent admission agents
- Private unaided agriculture colleges display fee structures as approved by the Fees Regulatory Authority (FRA), Mumbai — review these carefully before reporting
- Candidates facing discrepancies in their allotment letter (category, Home University status, weightage points) can raise a grievance through the e-scrutiny/grievance tab on agri2026.mahacet.org
- Missing the seat status selection deadline or the physical reporting window results in forfeiture of the allotted seat, which is then released into the Round 2 vacancy pool
|
