Maharashtra BSc Nursing CAP 2026: Registration Process Begins, Check Full Counselling Schedule
The State Common Entrance Test Cell, Maharashtra, has officially commenced the Centralized Admission Process (CAP) for BSc Nursing courses for the 2026–27 academic session. Candidates who have successfully qualified in the MH-NURSING CET 2026 are invited to register through the official state portal to participate in the upcoming rounds of seat allotment.
This centralized process facilitates admissions into various government, government-aided, municipal corporation, and private unaided nursing colleges across the state. Officials have emphasized that admission is strictly merit-based, derived from the MH-NURSING CET 2026 scores, and contingent upon the successful verification of required documents.
Crucial Registration Advisory
A vital point for aspirants to note is that merely appearing for the entrance examination does not automatically enroll them in the counselling pool. Participation in the CAP is a distinct requirement; therefore, all eligible candidates must complete a separate registration process with the State Competent Authority within the notified timeline. Failure to register will result in the candidate being excluded from the allotment process.
Important Dates and Deadlines
The State CET Cell has released a comprehensive schedule for the counselling process. Candidates are encouraged to adhere strictly to these dates to avoid any technical or administrative hurdles:
