DTE Maharashtra Polytechnic CAP Round 1 Allotment Details

The seat allotment is generated based on three main factors:

• Merit rank from the Final Merit List published on July 10, 2026
• College and course preferences submitted by the candidate during option form filling (July 11–13, 2026)
• Seat availability as per the category-wise seat matrix released for CAP Round 1

Admission is offered across First Year Post SSC Diploma courses in Engineering, Technology, and related streams such as Civil, Mechanical, Computer Engineering group, Information Technology, Electronics and Telecommunication, and Electrical Engineering group, subject to seat availability at each institute. Seats are allotted under categories that include Maharashtra State Candidature seats, reserved category seats (SC/ST/OBC/EWS and others), Institutional Quota seats (including a share for NRI students), and Supernumerary seats for specific categories such as children of Gulf-country workers and J&K migrants.

Note on cutoffs: Official college-wise and category-wise CAP Round 1 cutoff marks for 2026 have not been separately confirmed in the sources reviewed for this article. Once released, cutoffs typically appear on the same portal alongside the allotment result.

How to Check DTE Maharashtra Polytechnic Seat Allotment Result 2026

Follow these steps to view and download your CAP Round 1 provisional allotment:

• Visit the official admission website: poly26.dtemaharashtra.gov.in
• Click on "View Provisional Allotment for CAP Round 1" on the homepage.
• Enter your Application ID (starts with DEN26) and your Date of Birth.
• Click on "View Allotment."
• Check your allotted college, course, and category carefully.
• Take a printout of the allotment letter and keep it ready for the confirmation process.

Candidates may also receive an automated SMS alert on their registered mobile number once the allotment is processed, though this can sometimes be delayed. Checking the login portal directly remains the most reliable method.

Documents Required for Seat Confirmation

Keep the following documents ready (originals plus photocopies) for verification while confirming your allotted seat:

• SSC (Class 10) mark sheet
• School Leaving Certificate issued after passing SSC
• HSC/HSC Vocational mark sheet and School Leaving Certificate (if applicable)
• Passing certificate of Intermediate Grade Drawing examination (if applicable)
• Domicile certificate
• Caste/category certificate, and Non-Creamy Layer certificate where applicable (candidates should confirm the certificate's validity period on the official portal)
• Aadhaar card and recent passport-size photographs
• Printout of the CAP Round 1 allotment letter

The exact list of mandatory versus applicable-if-relevant documents is confirmed in the official Information Brochure on the DTE Maharashtra portal, which candidates should cross-check before reporting.

Freeze, Float, and Seat Reporting Instructions

Once the allotment result is out, candidates have to choose one of the following options within the confirmation window (July 16–18, 2026):

• Freeze: If satisfied with the allotted seat, accept it, pay the seat acceptance fee online, and report to the allotted institute with original documents to confirm admission. If a candidate's first preference is allotted, the seat is automatically frozen.
• Float/Betterment (Not Freeze): If a candidate wants a chance at a better college or course in the next round, they can choose this option instead of freezing.

Important: Seat acceptance and fee payment are completed online through the candidate portal, but institute reporting submitting original documents and paying institute-level academic fees is a separate, physical step that must also be completed within the same window. According to reported guidance, candidates who fail to accept a seat that matches their first preference risk disqualification from subsequent regular CAP rounds, so allotment details should be reviewed carefully before deciding.

What Happens If You Don't Get a Seat in Round 1?

Candidates who are not allotted a seat, or who choose to float for a better option, can participate in CAP Round 2, which is based on seats that remain vacant after Round 1. Reports indicate the Round 2 process is expected to begin around July 19–21, 2026, though candidates should confirm the exact Round 2 option-entry dates on the official portal once notified.
