ME CAP Round-IV seat accept by 7 Sep 3 pm

First-time CAP Round-IV allottees in Maharashtra M.E./M.Tech. counselling have until 3:00 pm today to accept the seat and pay the acceptance fee online. The State Common Entrance Test Cell Important Dates page for First Year Post Graduate Technical Courses in Engineering and Technology (Academic Year 2026-27) sets CAP Round-IV seat acceptance from 05/09/2026 to 07/09/2026 up to 03:00 pm.

This is ME-2026 CAP Round-IV on me2026.mahacet.org. It is not an undergraduate CAP round and not a fresh registration opening. Candidates allotted a seat for the first time in Round IV must self-verify the allotment in login and pay the seat acceptance fee online. Round-IV allotment is final for first-time allottees, betterment cases and candidates whose earlier seat is retained with no betterment; those candidates must report to the allotted institute for confirmation. Missing the 3:00 pm acceptance cut-off is not the same problem as missing the 5:00 pm institute-reporting cut-off; both clocks sit on the same Important Dates row and both matter.
