Common Errors in CAP Registration & How to Avoid Them

Name mismatch

Use name exactly as it appears in your Class 10 (SSC) certificate — including initials, spaces, and spelling.

Incorrect MHT-CET application number

Double-check from your MHT-CET 2026 hall ticket or exam portal. Do not guess or enter old application numbers.

Wrong date of birth

Enter DOB as per Class 10 certificate. Format is DD/MM/YYYY. A wrong DOB will prevent login in future steps.

Blurry document uploads

Scan documents at 200–300 DPI. Use a proper scanner or a scanning app. Avoid photographs clicked at an angle.

Expired category certificate

OBC NCL and EWS certificates must be valid for 2025–26. Get them renewed before registration.

Not completing payment

After clicking 'Pay', wait for confirmation. If payment fails, retry immediately — do not close the browser mid-transaction.
