VIT Pune Releases Final Merit Lists for BTech Spot Admissions 2026

The Vishwakarma Institute of Technology (VIT) in Pune has officially released the final merit lists for its Institutional Level (ACAP) spot admission process for the first-year BTech programme. The announcement comes as the institute prepares to fill 244 vacant seats that remained available following the conclusion of the state-level Centralised Admission Process (CAP).

The admission process has drawn significant interest, with a total of 13,458 unique candidates appearing across the final merit lists. These lists, which are divided into separate categories for MHT CET and JEE Main applicants, serve as the primary basis for seat allocation during the upcoming ACAP rounds 1 and 2. The institute has confirmed that admissions will be strictly determined by candidate merit and the availability of seats within specific branches.

Details of the Merit Lists and Admission Criteria

The published merit lists provide comprehensive data to help students track their standing. For candidates who applied via the MHT CET, the documentation includes the Institute Merit Number, State General Merit Number, Application ID, candidate name, gender, category, and the respective MHT CET percentile. Similarly, the JEE Main merit list displays the Institute Merit Number, All India Merit Number, Application ID, candidate name, and JEE Main percentile, alongside detailed subject-wise percentile scores.

According to the institute, these lists were compiled by cross-referencing candidate data from the official State CET Cell records with applications submitted directly through the VIT Pune portal. Candidates are advised to verify their specific merit number, application ID, and admission category against the official documents to ensure accuracy before proceeding with the next stages of the counselling process.

Next Steps for Participating Candidates

As the ACAP/spot admission process moves forward, the institute has urged all eligible students to remain updated on the latest institutional instructions. Participants are encouraged to carefully review the current seat availability across various branches and adhere to all reporting requirements set by the administration. While the merit lists represent a significant step in the admission cycle, final seat allotment remains contingent upon the candidate's rank and the specific branch preferences submitted during the counselling sessions.

Students are reminded that the ACAP process is specifically designed to manage the remaining vacancies after the conclusion of the broader state-level counselling. For further information regarding the admission schedule and specific reporting protocols, candidates should regularly monitor the official communications provided by the Vishwakarma Institute of Technology.
