Bar Council of India Grants Conditional Approval for 2026–27 Law College Admissions The Bar Council of India (BCI) has granted conditional approval to eligible law colleges across Maharashtra for the 2026–27 academic session, ensuring continuity in admissions under the Centralised Admission Process (CAP). The decision, announced by Justice Rajendra Menon, co-chairperson of the BCI’s Legal Education Committee, comes amid the extension of the CAP Round-I option-form deadline to August 11. The BCI emphasized that the approval is a one-time measure specific to Maharashtra and does not set a precedent for other states. The conditional approval allows existing law colleges to continue their law courses, approved sections, and student intake, provided they meet certain criteria. Colleges must verify their valid university affiliation and align with the BCI’s existing records. The BCI has mandated that all institutions complete the prescribed approval process on its portal by August 31, 2026. This includes uploading required documents, furnishing prescribed information, and paying applicable fees. The order explicitly warns that failure to comply with the process could result in the withholding, modification, suspension, or withdrawal of the conditional approval. Additionally, the BCI clarified that the approval does not waive or regularize any pending approvals or financial liabilities from previous academic sessions. Colleges already registered on the BCI portal are directed to apply for an extension of their approval, while unregistered institutions must seek registration by emailing the Legal Education Department.#maharashtra #bar_council_of_india #centralised_admission_process #rajendra_menon #legal_education_department

Maharashtra Extends CAP Registration Deadline for BE, MBA Courses to July 16 The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell has extended the deadline for online registration for the Centralised Admission Process (CAP) for first-year engineering (BE/BTech) and MBA/MMS courses for the 2026-27 academic session until July 16. This extension provides additional time for thousands of eligible candidates who have not yet completed the admission process. The original deadline, set for July 12, has been pushed back by four days to accommodate those still awaiting final year mark sheets, particularly for postgraduate admissions under Nagpur University. According to the CET Cell, a total of 2,76,794 students have already registered for the two professional courses. Engineering admissions account for the majority of registrations, with 2,28,536 candidates having completed the process, while 48,258 have registered for MBA/MMS programs. Candidates are required to complete online registration, upload necessary documents, and choose between E-Scrutiny or Physical Scrutiny for document verification. Students opting for E-Scrutiny can have their applications verified online without visiting a facilitation centre, while those selecting Physical Scrutiny must report to the nearest Scrutiny Centre (SC) or Facilitation Centre (FC) for verification. The CET Cell clarified that candidates who registered for and appeared in the MAH CET 2026 examination are exempt from paying the CAP registration fee. However, candidates from categories such as NRI, OCI, PIO, Foreign Nationals, and children of Indian workers in Gulf countries must pay the prescribed admission fee, which is non-refundable.#nagpur_university #maharashtra_state_common_entrance_test_cell #centralised_admission_process #maharashtra_cet_cell #cap_registration_deadline
