MAH LLB CAP 2026 Deadline Extended to August 11

The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell has extended the deadline for submitting the Round 1 Option Form for the MAH LLB Centralised Admission Process (CAP) 2026-27. The new deadline is August 11, 2026, giving candidates two more days to submit their preferences for both 3-year and 5-year LLB courses.

The extension comes as several law colleges in Maharashtra are still completing the process of obtaining approval from the Bar Council of India (BCI) and affiliation from their respective universities. As a result, new colleges that receive the required statutory approvals are being added to the list of institutions available to candidates while they fill their preferences for CAP Round 1.

The CET Cell has added 98 new law colleges to the CAP pool, increasing the total number of colleges available for selection. For the three-year LLB course, the number of colleges has increased from 93 on August 5 to 146 colleges currently available for selection. The five-year LLB course has also seen a substantial increase, with the number of available colleges rising from 56 to 101.

Candidates who have not submitted their Round 1 Option Form can utilize this extra time to go through the list of participating colleges and arrange their preferences accordingly. Even those candidates who have begun the process of filling out their option-form can go through the list of newly approved colleges, if any, before arranging their preferences.

The CET Cell has indicated that more law colleges could be added to the list as they receive the required approvals. Candidates are advised to log on to the MAH LLB CAP online admission system, verify the list of newly approved colleges, check the options available for the 3-year/5-year LLB programme, arrange their preferences, and submit their Round 1 Option Form within the revised deadline.

The extension of the deadline is intended to give students access to a wider range of choices before they submit their Round 1 preferences. With the addition of 98 new colleges, candidates now have a total of 247 colleges to choose from across both courses.

The MAH LLB CAP 2026 is a centralized admission process for law colleges in Maharashtra. The process involves submitting an option form, where candidates can select their preferred colleges and courses. The CET Cell then allocates seats based on the candidates' preferences and merit.

In conclusion, the extension of the MAH LLB CAP 2026 deadline to August 11, 2026, provides candidates with more time to submit their preferences and consider the growing list of colleges available under the CAP process. With the addition of 98 new colleges, candidates now have a wider range of choices to pursue their law education in Maharashtra.

The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell is responsible for conducting the MAH LLB CAP 2026. The cell has been working to ensure that the admission process is fair and transparent.

The extension of the deadline and the addition of new colleges provide candidates with more opportunities to pursue their law education. Candidates are advised to utilize this extra time to carefully consider their options and submit their preferences before the revised deadline.
