What to Do After the Maharashtra DSE CAP Round 2 Allotment
After checking the result, candidates need to choose between two options in their candidate login:
1. Freeze Option (Seat Acceptance)
Candidates allotted a seat matching their top 3 preferences are auto-freezed by the system. Candidates satisfied with any other allotted seat can choose self-freeze. In both cases, candidates must:
- Accept the seat and pay the seat acceptance fee online via candidate login.
- Report physically to the allotted college between August 16 and August 18, 2026 (up to 5:00 PM IST).
Auto-freezed candidates are not eligible to participate in subsequent CAP rounds.
2. Float / Betterment Option (Participate in Round 3)
Candidates allotted a seat outside their top 3 preferences who wish to try for a better option can select "Not Freeze / Betterment." This requires paying the online seat acceptance fee between August 16 and August 18, 2026 (up to 3:00 PM IST) to retain the currently allotted seat while remaining eligible for CAP Round 3.
