The Maharashtra CET Cell has extended the MAH LLB Round 1 option form deadline to August 11 for both three-year and five-year courses, after 98 new colleges were added to the admission pool. The number of available colleges rose from 93 to 146 for the three-year programme and from 56 to 101 for the five-year programme since August 5. The extension was granted because several law colleges were still completing Bar Council of India approval and university affiliation formalities. The CET Cell said new colleges receiving approval are being added as candidates fill their preferences, and more institutions may join before the round ends.
