🌀 What is CAP Round 3?
CAP Round 3 (Centralized Admission Process) is the last centralized counseling round where students can:
- Upgrade from previously allotted colleges
- Apply for newly available seats
- Secure admission before spot rounds or institute-level counseling
👉 If you’ve been waiting for a better seat, this is your golden chance.
📝 Step-by-Step Admission Process
1. Check Vacant Seats
The CET Cell publishes the Vacant Seat Matrix, showing how many seats are left in each college/course.
2. Fill the Option Form
- Log in to the CET Cell portal
- Choose your preferred colleges/courses (arrange wisely in order)
- Lock your preferences before the deadline
3. Seat Allotment Result
On August 21, the allotment list will be declared. Students can log in and check if they’ve secured a seat.
4. Seat Acceptance & Reporting
- If allotted a seat, accept online
- Report to the allotted college with documents and pay the admission fee between Aug 22–25
🤔 Why CAP Round 3 is Crucial
- It’s the final official round – miss it, and you may have to wait for spot rounds (less secure).
- Many top choices reopen due to withdrawals in earlier rounds.
- Strict seat-locking rules mean you must accept if you’re allotted within your top 6 preferences.
📌 Important Guidelines
| Rule | What It Means for You |
|---|---|
| First-choice allotment in Round 1 | Must accept immediately |
| Top 3 choices in Round 2 | Seat locking mandatory |
| Top 6 choices in Round 3 | Final acceptance needed |
| Fail to report on time | Seat gets cancelled |
