Maharashtra publishes FE CAP Round 4 cut-offs and ACAP vacant seats

MUMBAI: First-year engineering aspirants in Maharashtra now have the CAP Round-IV cut-off sheets and the institute-level vacancy list that follows Round 4 reporting. The State Common Entrance Test Cell has posted the Cut Off List for Maharashtra and Minority seats of CAP Round-IV, the All India Round-IV cut-off, the diploma cut-off for Round-IV, and a Provisional Vacant Seats after CAP IV (ACAP) file for Academic Year 2026-27 on the FE 2026 admission portal.

The MH Round-IV cut-off PDF walks college by college. An early example is Government College of Engineering, Amravati, where Civil Engineering state-level stages list GOPENS, GVJS, GSEBCS, LOPENS and TFWS closing ranks with percentile scores beside them. Similar blocks continue across autonomous, government, university-managed and private institutes, so candidates comparing Round-IV movement should search their choice codes rather than reading only the first campus.

What the ACAP vacancy file is for

After the last date of reporting for CAP Round-IV, CET Cell published provisional vacant seats for Against CAP (ACAP) filling. The ACAP PDF is labelled for first-year undergraduate technical courses in Engineering and Technology (four years) and the integrated Master of Engineering and Technology (five years). It shows institute-wise vacant CAP seats, minority seats, All India and institute seats columns where applicable.

That file is the working inventory for colleges filling leftover seats under institute-level ACAP rules. Students who did not freeze a CAP seat, or who are still hunting a local branch, should download both the Round-IV cut-off for context and the ACAP vacancy PDF for live empty rows. Cut-offs explain how far Round 4 reached; vacancies explain what remains.

How to use the documents this week

Open https://fe2026.mahacet.org and use the published Round-IV cut-off and ACAP vacancy links rather than screenshots. Note choice codes for preferred campuses, then contact those institutes about ACAP schedules, document lists and fee payment. CAP Round-IV status check pages remain useful for candidates who are confirming whether they already hold a Round-IV allotment before approaching ACAP seats.

Parents comparing government autonomous campuses with private options should read minority and All India columns carefully so that eligibility is not mixed up. Keep CAP application credentials active until institute reporting for any ACAP offer is finished. For this admission cycle, Round 4 cut-offs plus the post-Round-4 vacancy sheet are the two official CET Cell files that matter most for late engineering seat hunting in Maharashtra.

Institute admission officers using ACAP seats must still follow CET Cell and AICTE eligibility norms for vacant branches. Students should ask each college for its ACAP application form, last date and fee, because those institute-level clocks are not printed inside the cut-off PDF. Keep CAP Round-IV allotment letters handy so that dual claims do not clash during document checks.

Compare MH, minority and All India cut-off sheets if your candidature spans more than one seat type. Diploma candidates should open the separate diploma Round-IV cut-off rather than reading only the MH PDF. Vacancy after CAP IV is provisional and can change as colleges update joining data.
