MHT CET 2027 Syllabus — Topic-Wise for PCM & PCB
Complete MHT CET 2027 syllabus — chapter-wise Physics, Chemistry, Maths, and Biology topics for the PCM and PCB groups, with the Class 11 vs 12 weightage.
The MHT CET 2027 syllabus is roughly 20% Class 11 and 80% Class 12 — and it follows the Maharashtra State Board topic list, not NCERT. That last point trips up many students: if you prepare only from NCERT or JEE/NEET material, you can miss board-specific chapters. This guide lists the topic-wise syllabus for both the PCM (engineering) and PCB (pharmacy/agriculture) groups so you can map your preparation chapter by chapter.
How the MHT CET 2027 Syllabus Is Weighted
| Group | Subjects | Class 11 | Class 12 |
|---|---|---|---|
| PCM (Engineering) | Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics | ~20% | ~80% |
| PCB (Pharmacy/Agri) | Physics, Chemistry, Biology | ~20% | ~80% |
Physics and Chemistry are common to both groups. Mathematics (PCM) and Biology (PCB) questions carry 2 marks each — double the 1 mark for Physics and Chemistry — so the third subject is your biggest score lever.

How to Use This Syllabus
- Start with Class 12 — it is 80% of the paper. Lock the high-weight chapters first.
- Do not skip Class 11. It is 20% of marks and the foundation for Class 12 chapters.
- Map against the State Board, not NCERT. If you study from NCERT, cross-check the Maharashtra Board topic names so nothing slips through.
- Prioritise the 2-mark subject. Maths (PCM) or Biology (PCB) carries double weight — strong scores there move your percentile most.
- Practise without negative marking in mind. Attempt everything; train for speed and accuracy, not selective attempting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the MHT CET 2027 syllabus based on?
The MHT CET syllabus is based on the Maharashtra State Board syllabus for Class 11 and Class 12, with roughly 20% of questions from Class 11 and 80% from Class 12. The official information brochure (released around January 2027) confirms the exact topic list and any inclusions or deletions for that year.
What subjects are in MHT CET 2027?
It depends on your group. PCM (engineering) covers Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. PCB (pharmacy and agriculture) covers Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Physics and Chemistry are common to both groups; only the third subject differs.
Is the MHT CET syllabus the same as JEE or NEET?
There is large overlap because all are built on Class 11-12 Physics, Chemistry, Maths, and Biology, but MHT CET follows the Maharashtra State Board topic list and ordering, which differs from the NCERT-based JEE/NEET syllabus in places. If you prepare from NCERT, cross-check the State Board topics so you do not miss board-specific chapters.
How much of MHT CET 2027 is from Class 11?
Approximately 20% of the paper is from the Class 11 syllabus and 80% from Class 12. Despite the lower weight, Class 11 topics like mechanics, basic chemistry concepts, and trigonometry are foundational, so they cannot be skipped — they also support Class 12 chapters.
Is there negative marking in MHT CET 2027?
No. MHT CET has no negative marking, so you should attempt all questions. Mathematics and Biology questions carry 2 marks each, while Physics and Chemistry questions carry 1 mark each, which shapes how you prioritise time across sections.
Which is the most scoring section in MHT CET?
Because Mathematics (PCM) and Biology (PCB) questions carry double marks (2 each versus 1 for Physics and Chemistry), the third subject is the highest-leverage section. Strong Maths or Biology can lift your percentile significantly, so allocate preparation time accordingly.
