Overview
The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test Cell will publish the Maharashtra DSE CAP Round 2 Seat Allotment Result 2026 for candidates seeking direct admission to the second year of undergraduate engineering and technology programmes. This is an admission allotment process rather than a recruitment drive; therefore, the total number of seats will depend on the institute-wise intake and vacancies remaining after the first CAP round.
Candidates registered for the Centralised Admission Process can check their allotment status through the official DSE 2026 portal using their application credentials. Those allotted a seat must complete acceptance and reporting formalities within the notified deadline.
