Maharashtra CET Cell allots 1,238 pharmacy seats in third round
The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell has allotted 1,238 seats in the third round of the Centralised Admission Process (CAP) for M.Pharmacy and Pharm.D. (Post Baccalaureate) programmes for the 2026-27 academic session. A total of 7,735 candidates had submitted their college preferences for this round.
Of the candidates allotted seats, 999 secured admission to colleges included in their preference lists under the auto-freeze mechanism. Candidates allotted seats must report physically to their respective colleges between October 15 and October 17, 2026, for document verification, fee payment and other formalities.
The CET Cell will release the tentative vacancy list for the fourth allocation round on October 18, 2026. Candidates who decline their allotted seats will not be eligible for the fourth round and must wait for the subsequent institutional round.
Indian Opinion Analysis
With 1,238 of 7,735 preference-submitting candidates receiving seats, the third round has a relatively low allotment ratio, indicating limited availability in the two programmes. The auto-freeze mechanism locked in 999 candidates, meaning those who accept now exit the pool for later rounds. The key date is October 18, when the vacancy list for the fourth round is published, the size of that list will show how much room remains for candidates who did not yet get a seat. Candidates who decline now are excluded from round four entirely, raising the stakes on accepting or rejecting by October 17.
