The State CET Cell runs the PCM (engineering) and PCB (pharmacy/agriculture) groups on separate date ranges, usually in April-May. This page lists every expected MHT CET 2027 date — registration, admit card, exam, result, and CAP counselling — based on the CET Cell's established pattern, so you can lock your preparation timeline.

Each group is a single computer-based paper. There is no negative marking, and Mathematics/Biology carries double weight per question.
| Group | Subjects (questions × marks) | Total |
|---|---|---|
| PCM (Engineering) | Maths 50×2, Physics 50×1, Chemistry 50×1 | 200 marks |
| PCB (Pharmacy/Agri) | Biology 100×1, Physics 50×1, Chemistry 50×1 | 200 marks |
Physics and Chemistry questions are common in structure; the differentiator is Mathematics (PCM) or Biology (PCB). Syllabus weighting is roughly 20% Class 11 and 80% Class 12, on the Maharashtra State Board syllabus.
Registration Checklist — What You Need
- Class 10 & Class 12 details — for eligibility and date of birth
- Photograph & signature scan — as per the brochure format
- Domicile / category certificates — for candidature type and reservation
- Valid email & mobile number — for OTPs and updates
- Payment method — debit/credit card, net banking, or UPI
Key Deadlines to Never Miss
- Registration deadline: Apply in the first two weeks of the window — last-day server load is real, and the late-fee window is short.
- Group selection: Decide PCM vs PCB vs both at registration. Adding a group later may not be possible.
- Admit card download: Download as soon as it releases; confirm your exam date, slot, and centre.
- CAP registration: A high percentile is wasted if you miss CAP registration or choice-filling deadlines. Track them after results.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the MHT CET 2027 exam date?
Based on the State CET Cell's recent pattern, MHT CET 2027 is expected to be held across multiple days in April-May 2027, with the PCM (engineering) and PCB (pharmacy/agriculture) groups on separate date ranges. The exact schedule is announced in the official information brochure, usually released in January 2027 on cetcell.mahacet.org.
When will MHT CET 2027 registration start?
MHT CET registration typically opens in January 2027 and stays open for 5-6 weeks, with a late-fee window after the regular deadline. Registration is online on cetcell.mahacet.org. You apply separately for the PCM group, the PCB group, or both if you want to keep engineering and pharmacy/agriculture options open.
Is there negative marking in MHT CET 2027?
No. MHT CET has no negative marking, so you should attempt every question — there is no penalty for a wrong answer. This makes time management and accuracy under speed the key differentiators, since most serious candidates attempt all questions.
What is the difference between the PCM and PCB groups?
PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) is for admission to engineering and technology courses. PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) is for pharmacy, agriculture, and allied courses. You can register for both groups and appear in both if you want to keep options open across engineering and pharmacy/agri streams.
How is the MHT CET 2027 syllabus weighted?
The syllabus is based on the Maharashtra State Board syllabus — approximately 20% from Class 11 and 80% from Class 12. Questions are at the board level, but the time pressure is high. Students from CBSE and other boards should map the Maharashtra State Board topic list to avoid gaps.
What happens after the MHT CET 2027 result?
After the result and percentile are declared, admissions happen through the Centralised Admission Process (CAP) run by the State CET Cell. You register for CAP, fill college and branch preferences, and seats are allotted over multiple rounds based on your percentile, category, and preferences. CAP usually runs from June onwards.
When will the MHT CET 2027 result be declared?
The result, with percentile scores, is typically declared in late May or June 2027, roughly 3-4 weeks after the last exam day. The CET Cell first releases a provisional answer key with an objection window, then the final answer key, and then the percentile-based result.
Can students from outside Maharashtra appear for MHT CET 2027?
Yes, you can appear for the exam, but seat eligibility under different candidature types (Maharashtra State, All India, etc.) depends on your domicile and where you completed your schooling. Read the candidature-type rules in the official brochure carefully, as they decide which seats you can compete for during CAP.
