The deadline for paying registration fees and security deposits is set for August 24 up to 10:00 PM, while colored scanned copies of original documents must be uploaded by 11:59 PM on the same date. The CET Cell emphasized that state registration is mandatory for CAP participation, regardless of whether a candidate registered for the All India Quota counselling.
Candidates Must Register By August 24 For CAP Participation
Online document verification will be conducted on August 25, followed by the publication of the registered candidate list and the provisional merit list on August 26. Candidates will have time until August 27 at 11:59 PM to submit any grievances with necessary supporting proof, leading to the publication of the final merit list and the seat matrix on August 29.
