VIT Pune Releases Provisional Merit List for B.Tech Spot Admission 2026

The Vishwakarma Institute of Technology (VIT) Pune has officially moved forward with its institute-level ACAP and spot admission process for the 2026-27 academic year. Following the commencement of the application phase, the institute has now released the provisional merit list for students seeking admission to first-year B.Tech programmes. This round is specifically designed to fill remaining vacant seats through a merit-based counselling process.

Candidates who registered for the spot round are advised to review the provisional list, which distinguishes between applicants based on their MHT CET and JEE Main scores. The counselling sessions are being held at the institute’s Kondhwa campus, where seat allocation is determined by the candidate's specific merit rank and the number of seats available at the time of their turn.

Key Dates and Counselling Procedures

The institute has established a strict timeline for the final stages of this admission cycle. Following the display of the provisional merit list, the window for submitting grievances is scheduled to close at 7:00 pm on September 11, 2026. Subsequently, the final merit list is slated for publication on the official website and the institute's notice board by 9:00 pm the same day.

Candidates are required to report to the campus on September 12, 2026, starting at 10:00 am. During the counselling, seats are allocated based on inter-se merit. The institute has emphasized that the seat matrix remains dynamic and may fluctuate due to cancellations or students opting for betterments. It is critical for applicants to be present when their merit number is called; the notification specifies that a candidate's name will be announced a maximum of three times. Failure to respond during these announcements may result in the forfeiture of the opportunity for a merit-based seat allotment.

Admission Guidelines and Seat Allocation

The allocation process is highly structured to ensure transparency. Once a seat is assigned to a candidate, it is immediately removed from the available vacancy list. Because the seat matrix can change in real-time as the process unfolds, students are encouraged to remain attentive throughout the counselling session. The institute maintains separate merit lists for candidates applying through MHT CET and those applying via JEE Main, ensuring that both groups are evaluated according to their respective entrance examination performance.

As the reporting date of September 12 approaches, all eligible candidates should ensure they have their necessary documentation ready for the verification process at the Kondhwa campus. For further updates regarding the final seat matrix and specific reporting instructions, students should continue to monitor the official VIT Pune website.
