Institute-wise availability
Course-wise breakdown
Reservation categories (Open, OBC, SC/ST, EWS, etc.)
Minority quotas and supernumerary seats (if applicable, per MHT CET norms) IE Education
Important: An accurate, updated blog should replace this section with a direct link to the PDF or portal upon release.
5. How to Check the Seat Matrix on the Official Portal
Visit the Maharashtra State CET Cell official site at cetcell.mahacet.org or the specific MaBDes CAP section CET CellDSE 2025.
Look for the link labeled “Seat Matrix for CAP Round 4”.
Download the PDF, which will show the seats available per college, category, and course.
Use this to inform your choice filling and strategy.
6. What Changes in Seat Matrix Mean for You
More Options: Available seats may open up in colleges previously full.
Better Chances to Upgrade: A chance to move from “slide” to a more preferred institute.
Strategic Shifting: You may lock in a safer seat while keeping higher-preference options active.
Last Chance: Round 4 is typically the final opportunity to get admission via CAP without institute-level or stray vacancy rounds.
7. Tips to Prioritize and Select Colleges Strategically
Compare Round 3 allotments with Round 4 matrix — note which colleges open up.
If previously allotted, choose whether to freeze, slide, or float based on new availability.
Lock options FAST—CAP Round 4 window is usually short (1–3 days).
Plan logistics—ensure you can report in time if you get a new seat.
Stay updated on admission guidelines—deadlines are strict.
