MHT CET 2027 Both Attempts Rescheduled After Class 12 Board Exams

Maharashtra's higher and technical education department announced on October 9, 2026, that both attempts of the MHT CET 2027 for engineering and pharmacy courses will now be held after Class 12 board examinations.

The two attempts, originally scheduled for December 2026 and April 2027, will now be conducted between March and May 2027. A four-week gap will be maintained between the two attempts, and the highest score from both attempts will be considered for admission purposes.

MHT CET 2027 Important Dates

The department rescheduled MHT CET 2027 after receiving feedback from across Maharashtra, particularly rural areas that preferred both attempts after Class 12 board exams. The decision aims to reduce academic pressure and give students more preparation time.

In 2025-26, both attempts were held in April and May. For 2027, the four-week gap between attempts will allow students to improve their scores. The best score from either attempt will be considered for admissions to engineering and pharmacy colleges.

The provisional schedule for all CETs is expected within the next week. Students should focus on completing their board syllabus, practising mock tests, and preparing consistently for the entrance exams.

Conclusion

MHT CET 2027 will follow a revised March-May schedule, giving students time to focus on board exams before entrance tests. The upcoming provisional schedule will clarify examination dates and registration timelines.
