MHT CET 2026: The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test (MHT CET) Cell has released the preliminary exam schedule for all CETs for the 2026 admissions.

According to the recently published schedule, the MAH MHT CET 2026 for the PCM stream is scheduled from April 11th to 19th. The PCB exams, on the other hand, are scheduled for April 21st to 26th. The MAH MBA/MMS CET 2026 exam is slated for April 6th to 8th. The CET exams are slated to take place between March 24 and May 8, 2026.

MHT CET and MBA CET twice a year

For the first time, the MHT CET and MBA CET will be held biannually, marking a significant shift. Maharashtra’s Higher and Technical Education Minister, Chandrakant Patil, announced in early November. This followed a review meeting with the State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell. Patil noted that just as national-level exams like JEE offer two attempts, Maharashtra students will now also receive two opportunities.

Starting in 2026, the MHT-CET will take place across two sessions: one in April and another in May. To be considered for admission, candidates must attend at least one session; however, attending both is not required.
