The 2027-28 rules may change.</p></div>

<p style="margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7">The MAH B.Des CET score card arrives in June, but nothing is allotted until the <strong>Centralised Admission Process (CAP)</strong>, which runs from July to September on a separate B.Design portal. It is online from start to finish — registration, document verification, option forms, allotments and the acceptance fee — and it has rules that catch people out, above all the <strong>auto-freeze</strong> rule that ends your participation if you are allotted one of your top choices. This guide walks through the 2026-27 process and the dates of both recent cycles.</p>

From admission notices no. 1 and 3 for B.Design 2026-27. Candidates who miss CAP registration cannot be allotted a CAP seat.

<p style="margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7">At registration you choose how your documents are checked. <strong>E-Scrutiny</strong> means the uploaded scans are verified online and you never visit a centre — convenient, but any unclear or missing scan comes back to you as a query that must be answered in the window. <strong>Physical scrutiny</strong> means taking originals to a facilitation centre. Whichever you choose, the rule on category certificates is the same: without the originals or valid receipts at verification you are counted as General. Upload clear, complete scans the first time.</p>

From admission notices 1 and 3 (2026-27); the "good for" column is our advice.

Freeze, betterment and the rule that ends your CAP

<p style="margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7">Every allotment in Rounds I–III either <strong>auto-freezes</strong> or leaves you a choice. In <strong>Round I</strong>, being allotted your <strong>first</strong> preference freezes it; in <strong>Round II</strong>, any of your first <strong>three</strong>; in <strong>Round III</strong>, any of your first <strong>six</strong>. A frozen seat takes you out of later rounds — you must report to the institute. Otherwise you may <strong>self-freeze</strong> or accept with <strong>Not Freeze / Betterment</strong> and stay in the next round for something higher on your list. Round IV allotment is final. The practical lesson: <strong>put first only a college you would actually join</strong>, because in Round I it will not let you go.</p>

From the B.Design CAP portals and admission notices. The 14 September 2026 date follows a Supreme Court order of 12 August 2026 and AICTE's revised calendar; admission notice no. 3 had said 15 September.

Money: acceptance fee, cancellation and refunds

From admission notices no. 1 and 3 (2026-27) and rule 15 of the UG/PG technical admission brochure 2026-27.

<p style="margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7">Reserved-category candidates must show original Caste or Tribe Validity certificates, and a Non-Creamy Layer certificate valid up to 31 March of the following year; without them — or valid receipts — they are counted as General. EWS needs the state-format certificate. Receipt-holders must produce the certificate at a scrutiny centre and give it to the institute by the last reporting date of Round IV, or the admission is cancelled and they are treated as Open at the institute stage. Get these certificates started in the spring: a caste validity certificate can take weeks.</p>

<p style="margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7">One more point from the numbers: with 422 CAP seats still vacant after Round IV in 2025 and 369 in 2026, the <strong>institute-level round</strong> is a real route in, not a formality. The institute-level option form opens during CAP (from 4 August in 2026), so fill it in your login while the rounds are still running, and keep in touch with the institutes you listed.</p>
