The detailed schedule and other important details have been provided here.
Release of seat matrix: September 22, 2026
Release of option form: September 23
Deadline to fill options: September 25
CAP Round 1 seat allotment: September 27
Reporting: September 28 to 30
The CAP Round 2 counselling will begin from October 1 onwards.
Students must check the seat matrix category-wise before deciding on filling the option form. It is advisable to prepare a manual option form that includes previous years' cutoff ranks (for your category) of the respective colleges vs your rank as per the merit list. This will give an understanding of admission chances. Then check the seat matrix and prepare a top 20-30 list of colleges. Once you are sure about the college preferences, you can proceed with filling the option form.
Not all students choosing the colleges might get admission in CAP Round 1. It depends on the category, rank and vacant seats available for the respective category. Those who do not get an allotment in Round 1 can wait for the second round.
