The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test Cell has extended the choice-filling deadline for MH CET Law Counselling 2026, giving candidates additional time to complete their preferences for admission to law courses in the state.
The extension comes alongside the addition of around 3,600 seats to the counselling process for both three-year and five-year LLB programmes. Candidates participating in the admission process can now use the additional window to review available colleges and courses and submit or modify their preferences.
According to the counselling update, the choice-filling deadline has been extended to August 9, 2026. Candidates are advised to complete the process within the revised timeline through the official Maharashtra CET Cell counselling portal.
The development is significant for candidates seeking admission through MH CET Law 2026, as the addition of seats could expand the number of available options during the allotment process.
3,600 Seats Added Across Law Programmes
The Maharashtra CET Cell has added approximately 3,600 seats across the three-year and five-year LLB programmes. The additional seats are expected to provide more admission opportunities to candidates participating in the counselling process.
Candidates should carefully check the updated seat matrix before locking their choices. College preferences should be entered based on factors such as course availability, eligibility, previous admission trends and the candidate’s preferred location.
The choice-filling stage is an important part of the counselling process, as candidates will be considered for seat allotment based on their merit, category, preferences and the availability of seats.
Those who have already submitted their preferences should also check the revised seat matrix and make changes, if required, before the deadline.
Candidates are advised to regularly monitor the official CET Cell website for further updates on the MH CET Law counselling schedule, seat allotment results and subsequent admission rounds. They should also ensure that all required admission formalities are completed within the stipulated timelines after allotment.
With the deadline now extended and additional seats introduced, candidates who have not yet finalised their preferences have an opportunity to reassess their choices before the counselling window closes on August 9.
