MH CET Law Round 3 Grievance Window: 5-Year LLB Deadline Today, 3-Year LLB Till September 11 — How to Correct Alphabetical List
MH CET Law Counselling 2026: Candidates participating in Maharashtra's third CAP round for law admissions should check their alphabetical merit-list details immediately, as the grievance window is currently active for both 5-year integrated LLB and 3-year LLB admissions.
The deadlines are different: grievances against the 5-year LLB Round 3 alphabetical list close on September 10, while the 3-year LLB grievance process continues through September 11.
Candidates can use their respective CAP portal logins to edit permitted information and upload required supporting documents.
MH CET Law Round 3: Key Dates
| Event | 5-Year LLB | 3-Year LLB |
|---|---|---|
| Round 3 alphabetical list | September 8 | September 9 |
| Grievance window | September 9-10 | September 9-11 |
| Final merit list | September 16 | September 17 |
| Round 3 allocation | September 18 | September 19 |
| College reporting | September 19-23 | September 21-24 |
What Is an Alphabetical Merit List?
The alphabetical list is a preliminary applicant list arranged largely to help candidates inspect their information before the final merit list is generated.
It should not be confused with:
- Final merit rank
- College allotment
- Admission confirmation
Its main purpose is verification and correction.
What Should Candidates Check?
Review every important field, including:
- Name
- Candidate type
- Category
- CET score
- Qualifying-examination details
- Reservation status
- Domicile information
- Document-verification status
- Any applicable minority information
How to Raise a Grievance
- Open the relevant Maharashtra Law CAP portal.
- Log in using your registered credentials.
- Open the Round 3 application/grievance section.
- Identify the incorrect or unverified field.
- Edit the application where permitted.
- Upload the required supporting document.
- Submit the grievance before the deadline.
- Save acknowledgement or screenshot for reference.
Which Portal Should You Use?
| Programme | Portal |
|---|---|
| 5-Year Integrated LLB | 5-Year LLB CAP portal |
| 3-Year LLB | 3-Year LLB CAP portal |
Do not submit a grievance through the wrong law-admission portal.
What Types of Grievances Matter?
Common issues may involve:
- Wrong category
- Incorrect marks
- Unverified uploaded document
- Domicile status
- Candidate type
- Name mismatch
- Qualification details
Can You Change College Preferences During a Merit Grievance?
The grievance process is primarily for correcting application and verification issues displayed in the alphabetical list.
It should not automatically be treated as a fresh college-choice period unless the CAP portal specifically permits such action.
Why Correct Category Details Now?
Category errors can influence merit position and seat eligibility.
If a candidate qualifies for a reservation benefit but the required certificate remains unverified, the counselling system may process the candidate differently.
What Happens After the Grievance Window?
The CET Cell will complete verification and prepare the final Round 3 merit list.
For 5-year LLB, the final merit list is scheduled for September 16.
For 3-year LLB, it is scheduled for September 17.
When Is Round 3 Seat Allotment?
The 5-year LLB Round 3 allocation is scheduled for September 18 at 5 PM.
The 3-year LLB Round 3 allotment is scheduled for September 19 at 5 PM.
3-Year LLB vs 5-Year LLB
| 3-Year LLB | 5-Year Integrated LLB |
|---|---|
| For eligible graduates | Generally entered after Class 12 |
| Three-year law degree | Integrated five-year programme |
| Graduate-level entry route | Undergraduate integrated route |
Why Round 3 Can Be Important
Vacancies may arise after earlier CAP rounds because candidates:
- Did not report
- Cancelled admission
- Moved to another college
- Received another course
- Left seats unfilled
Round 3 therefore gives candidates another opportunity before institutional-level admissions.
What Comes After Round 3?
The current Maharashtra law counselling schedule also provides for an institute-level admission stage after Round 3.
Remaining vacancies will be displayed later, followed by college-level merit and admission procedures.
Why You Should Not Ignore an Alphabetical List Error
Waiting for the final merit list can be risky.
Once the grievance period closes, correcting an error may become much more difficult.
If your category, marks or document status is wrong, the right time to act is during the grievance window.
