Kottayam: Online registration has commenced for admission to Undergraduate, Integrated Undergraduate, and Postgraduate programmes offered in Government, Aided, and Self-financing Arts and Science Colleges affiliated with Mahatma Gandhi University.
The Centralised Allotment Process (CAP) portal has been opened, and all candidates seeking admission must apply through the system, including those applying under the management, lakshadweep, differently abled, sports, and cultural quotas.
Applicants seeking admission under the management or Lakshadweep quotas must submit the application number generated through the CAP portal to the college of their choice. Candidates who do not register through the CAP system will not be eligible to apply under these quotas.
Candidates applying under the differently abled, sports, and cultural quotas must also submit their applications through the CAP portal. The University will publish provisional rank lists for these categories, while document verification will be conducted centrally.
Applicants are required to upload digital copies of relevant certificates along with their applications. Details entered during account creation, including name, reservation category, mobile number, email ID, examination board, register number, and academic marks, cannot be edited later. Other details may be modified, and options may be rearranged, added, or deleted within the stipulated period. No corrections or addition of options will be permitted after the prescribed deadline.
Candidates claiming reservation benefits must upload digital copies of the relevant community or caste certificates issued by the competent Revenue Authority. Applicants seeking bonus marks under the Ex-servicemen, Jawan, NCC, or NSS categories should upload the certificates specified in the prospectus. Candidates applying for reservation benefits available to economically weaker sections among forward communities must also upload the prescribed certificate.
Candidates seeking admission to Community Merit seats in aided colleges should apply through the CAP portal. Allotment to these seats will be made directly by the University on the basis of merit among applicants belonging to the respective communities. Such candidates must upload valid community certificates issued by the competent authority.
Admissions through the CAP system will be conducted for 70 per cent merit seats and 10 per cent community merit seats in aided and aided forward-community colleges; 60 per cent merit seats and 20 per cent community merit seats in aided backward-community colleges; all seats in government colleges; and 50 per cent merit seats in self-financing colleges and programmes.

The university has published programme-wise fee details on the CAP website. Applicants are advised to read and understand all information available on the portal. Complaints arising from failure to follow the instructions published on the website will not be entertained.
To assist applicants, help desks have been established in colleges affiliated with the university. Candidates may seek assistance from these help desks while completing the online application process. Contact numbers of the help desks are available on the CAP website.
