β More Information You Need
Q: Am I even eligible to apply β do I need to have already taken MH CET Law 2026, or can I still register for it?
This CAP process is only for candidates who already have a valid MH CET Law 2026 score. If you haven’t taken the exam, you cannot participate in this admission round; the CET itself is a separate prior exam with its own registration that has already closed by this stage.
Q: What are the actual number of seats/colleges, and what is the general age limit β the page just says ‘as per participating colleges’ and ‘as per norms’?
Seat numbers vary by college and are published in the CAP seat matrix (available after registration on the CAP portal), not as a single fixed number. For age, MH CET Law has no strict upper age limit for 3-year LLB, but 5-year integrated LLB typically requires the candidate to be under 20 years (25 for reserved categories) as per Bar Council of India rules β this should be stated directly instead of ‘as per norms’.
Q: How much does the LLB course itself cost, and is this Rs.1,000 fee for admission or per option (Freeze/Betterment)?
The Rs.1,000 is a processing fee charged only when you choose Freeze or Betterment after seat allotment (not a course fee). Actual LLB tuition fees depend on the specific college (government law colleges range roughly Rs.15,000β50,000/year, private colleges much higher) and are not part of this CAP fee structure.
