Candidates can apply on the official website with an additional late fee of Rs 500 for all categories. The registration process was earlier concluded on February 27, 2026.

The extension was granted after the State CET Cell received numerous requests via in-person visits, emails, and phone calls from candidates, particularly those in rural areas across various districts of Maharashtra who missed the application window. The candidates requested a further extension to avoid potential academic losses, and with consideration of the candidates' future prospects, it was decided to grant a special two-day extension (with late fees).
