The institutional level round for ACAP seats follows a specific schedule:

Eligibility for the Final B.Ed. Counselling Round
- All CAP-registered candidates not yet admitted are eligible to participate.

Update on Shree Sharda Bhavan Education Society, Nanded Seats
The National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) reduced B.Ed. seats at Shree Sharda Bhavan Education Society, Nanded, from 100 to 50. A court order dated September 9, 2025 , temporarily paused this reduction. Consequently, 58 candidates allotted to Shree Sharda Bhavan in CAP Round-III must verify documents at the college by October 11, 2025, 5:00 PM . Their admission is subject to the final court decision in Writ Petition No. 12140/2025. Candidates should note this condition.
