Maharashtra Begins LLB Admission Process

The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell has started the centralised admission process for the five-year LLB programme for the academic year 2026-27.

Candidates can submit their college preferences through the online option form from August 5 to August 7.

The first round of seat allotment will be announced on August 12. Candidates allotted seats will have to report to their respective colleges between August 13 and August 18 for document verification and confirmation of admission.

August 15, a public holiday, has been excluded from the admission schedule. The CET Cell said details of students who complete the admission process at colleges will be uploaded on the admission portal on August 19.

Registration for the five-year LLB centralised admission process was conducted from June 19 to July 17. The final merit list was declared on July 28, with a total of 18,305 candidates registering for admission to the programme.

The CET Cell has also provided another opportunity to candidates who appeared for the 2026 MHT-CET for the five-year law course but did not register for the admission process. Such candidates can register for the third round of admissions and the institutional-level round between August 5 and August 31.

Candidates have been advised to submit their college preferences within the stipulated period and carefully review their choices, as the option form will be considered while allotting seats in the first round.

The admission process is a significant step for candidates seeking to pursue a career in law. The five-year LLB programme is a popular choice among students, and the centralised admission process aims to provide a fair and transparent platform for candidates to secure admission to their preferred colleges.

The CET Cell's decision to provide another opportunity to candidates who did not register for the admission process is a welcome move, as it gives them a second chance to secure admission to the programme.

Overall, the admission process for the five-year LLB programme is an important development for candidates and colleges alike, and it is expected to be a smooth and efficient process.

The start of the admission process marks an important milestone for the academic year 2026-27, and candidates are advised to stay updated with the latest developments and deadlines to ensure a successful admission process.
