MAH MBA CAP 2026 Round 4: Key Dates

Important Note on Round 4 Auto-Freeze Rule

As per the CAP information brochure's provisions, if a candidate is allotted a seat corresponding to one of their top preferences (as specified in the rules for later rounds), the allotment may be subject to an auto-freeze, meaning the candidate must accept that seat and complete admission within the given deadline, without the option to participate in further rounds. Candidates should therefore fill their Round 4 preferences carefully and in genuine order of priority, since a top-preference allotment at this stage could be locked in automatically.

MAH MBA CAP 2026: Seat Confirmation Fee

Candidates who are allotted a seat and wish to confirm it must pay a seat confirmation fee of Rs 1,000 at the time of confirming their admission, as per the CAP 2026 fee structure.

What Happens After Round 4?

Once the Round 4 provisional allotment result is declared on September 3, 2026, allotted candidates will need to complete seat acceptance and report to their respective institutes within the notified deadline. Since Round 4 is typically among the final rounds of the centralised process, candidates who remain unallotted after this round should watch for announcements regarding any Institute Level Round for seats still lying vacant after all CAP rounds conclude.
