The MHT CET exam dates for Phase 1 and Phase 2 will shortly be published online. Current indications suggest that the examinations are likely to be conducted in December 2026. The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test Cell is expected to issue the complete schedule for the examinations alongside official registration details in the coming days.
Expected Exam Timeline and Past Trends
The forthcoming MHT CET 2027 is expected to follow a structure identical to this year’s format. For admissions to courses in 2026, the state cell organized the PCM and PCB section exams in two distinct phases. Phase 1 and Phase 2 exams were held in April 2026, and officials announced the results separately for both phases.
While media reports indicate that the MHT CET Phase 1 examinations are likely to be conducted in December 2026, there is no official confirmation regarding the conduct of the MHT CET 2027 examinations yet. Looking at past trends, the MHT CET Exam schedule for the 2026 session was issued on November 21, 2025. Given this historical timeline, the complete entrance exam schedule—encompassing both MHT CET Phase 1 and Phase 2 exams—is likely to appear on the official website soon.
The entrance test facilitates admissions to BTech, BE, and various other courses provided by colleges across Maharashtra. Students who clear the respective entrance examinations become eligible to apply for the MHT CET CAP Admission rounds.
