MHT CET 2027, Check PCM & PCB Attempt-Wise Exam Dates, Registration, Syllabus and Eligibility

MHT CET 2027:The State Common Entrance Test Cell, Maharashtra (commonly known as the Maharashtra CET Cell) is preparing to release the official schedule for MHT CET 2027 (Maharashtra Health and Technical Common Entrance Test). Conducted in two separate sessions for both Physics-Chemistry-Mathematics (PCM) and Physics-Chemistry-Biology (PCB) groups, the entrance test serves as the gateway to undergraduate Engineering (B.E./B.Tech), Pharmacy (B.Pharm/Pharm.D), and Agriculture programs across Maharashtra.

Aspiring candidates can track live updates, download the information brochure, and submit their online applications through the official portal, cetcell.mahacet.org.

MHT CET 2027 Notification Expected Soon & Latest Updates

The official MHT CET 2027 examination notification and academic calendar are expected to be published shortly by the State CET Cell, Maharashtra. Following the two-attempt framework introduced to reduce exam stress and align with national tests like JEE Main and NEET, students will once again have the opportunity to appear in two sessions and retain their best percentile score for the Centralised Admission Process (CAP).

Key facts candidates should note ahead of the official release:

• Mandatory Identity Verification: Based on recent CET Cell mandates, both Aadhaar authentication and an APAAR ID (Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry) are compulsory during registration to verify candidate authenticity.

• Post-Board Exam Window: The examinations are slated to take place after the Maharashtra State Board (MSBSHSE) Class 12 HSC exams conclude, giving students a dedicated revision window.

• Dual Group Option: Students eligible for both streams can apply for both PCM and PCB groups, though Physics and Chemistry scores cannot be interchanged across groups.

MHT CET 2027 Exam Dates (PCM & PCB Attempt-Wise Schedule)

While the Maharashtra CET Cell is yet to publish the exact day-by-day timetable, the tentative attempt-wise schedule for MHT CET 2027 based on previous admission cycles and official planning is outlined below:

Note: Separate exam dates are allotted for PCM and PCB shifts within each session window.

MHT CET 2027 Registration Process

MHT CET 2027 application process is conducted strictly online at cetcell.mahacet.org. In the previous admission cycle, the registration timeline was notified in December, with the application portal opening on January 10.

Step-by-Step Form Filling Guide

1. Create Candidate Profile: Visit cetcell.mahacet.org, register using a permanent email ID and active mobile number, and generate a password.

2. Complete Aadhaar & APAAR Verification: Link your Aadhaar card and APAAR ID as instructed on the portal. Ensure your name and date of birth match your Class 10/12 marksheets.

3. Select Subject Group & Exam Cities: Choose PCM, PCB, or Both. Select four preferred exam cities in order of priority (allotted centres cannot be changed later).

4. Upload Documents: Upload a recent passport-sized photograph, signature, and valid photo ID proof (plus UDID/disability certificate for PwD candidates).

5. Pay Application Fee: Submit the registration fee online via UPI, net banking, or debit/credit card and save the confirmation receipt.

MHT CET 2027 Exam Pattern & Marking Scheme

MHT CET exam pattern is a 3-hour (180-minute) online Computer-Based Test (CBT) worth 200 marks. The test is divided into two mandatory 90-minute sections: Section 1 covers Physics and Chemistry, and Section 2 covers Mathematics or Biology. Once the first 90 minutes expire, the Physics-Chemistry section locks automatically and cannot be revisited.

• No Negative Marking: There is zero penalty for incorrect answers, making smart guesswork essential in the final minutes.

• Difficulty Benchmark: Physics and Chemistry match the difficulty level of JEE Main (easy-to-moderate tier), Mathematics aligns closely with JEE Main standards, and Biology mirrors NCERT/State Board NEET-level conceptual questions.

• Medium of Examination: Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics papers are available in English, Marathi, and Urdu, whereas the Biology paper is conducted exclusively in English.

MHT CET 2027 Syllabus & Weightage Breakdown

MHT CET 2027 syllabus is strictly anchored to the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (MSBSHSE) curriculum for Classes 11 and 12.
