The Maharashtra CET Cell has activated the MHT CET 2026 web option entry link at cetcell.mahacet.org. We have also updated the MHT CET Web option entry link on this page for easy access. Candidates can click on the above link to fill the MHT CET web option entry.
The Maharashtra CET Cell will allow candidates to select and arrange engineering branches and colleges in the order of their choice. Based on the choices filled during the facility, seat allotment result will be prepared. The seat allotment will be based on merit rank, category, reservation policy, seat availability, order of choices filled by the candidates and many more. Candidates can follow the simple steps to build an option entry list for MHT CET 2026.
Step 1: Before selecting engineering college, they must decide which branch they actually want to study and which they have interest in. Students choose a well known university and compromise on preferred branch.
Step 2: While preparing an option list, students are advised to go through the previous year’s cutoffs. This will help them to make good decisions when selecting the desired course and colleges. However, cutoffs may change every year, they get only an idea of admission competition, college demand and chances of getting seats. So, candidates are advised to use previous year cutoffs as a reference.
Step 3: They are recommended not to select engineering college & branch based on their well known. Before adding a college, please check the placement records, faculty, internship opportunities, infrastructure, location and many more important factors.
Step 4: Instead of choosing just a few, students make sure to add as much as choices they can. This will improve admission chances and get a seat in engineering college.
Step 5: The seat allotment is based on the choices filled and orders entered by the candidate in the web option period. So, always arrange options based on where they genuinely want admission.
Step 6: They are also advised to keep in mind some factors such as location, hostel charge, tuition fee, living expenses and more.
Step 7: Before filling out the options, they can check the seat matrix carefully. It will help them to understand total seats available in colleges, branch wise seat intake, and category wise seat distribution.
The MHT CET seat matrix for round 1 is also available online on the main website by the authority. Candidates can chek the seat matrix during the web option period. The authority releases the round wise seat matrix after each round of the counselling process. It will display the course-wise seat availability in the MHT CET 2026 participating institutions. Once released, the same information will be updated here in the form of a table.
