Maharashtra CET 2026 Registration Extended: Last Chance to Apply

The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test Cell has announced a last‑minute extension of the online registration window for the MAH–MBA/MMS CET 2026 and MAH–MHT CET (PCM/PCB) 2026 entrance exams, providing applicants one final opportunity to complete their applications ahead of the upcoming admission cycle for professional courses in the state. Applicants aiming to secure admission into management, engineering, pharmacy, agriculture and other professional programmes must now submit their forms by 20 February 2026 through the official portal, cetcell.mahacet.org.

Revised Maharashtra CET 2026 Registration Deadline and Exam Overview

The CET Cell originally scheduled the registration closure for 12 February 2026, but in response to candidate feedback and academic interest, the window has been extended. This extension applies to both the MAH–MBA/MMS CET 2026 and the MHT CET 2026 (PCM/PCB) categories, enabling more aspirants to finalise their applications before the deadline. Candidates who have yet to complete the online application process are advised to do so immediately, as the extended deadline concludes on 20 February 2026. After this date, no further applications will be accepted for the 2026–27 entrance exams. The MHT CET 2026 exam itself is expected to be conducted in two attempts: the first from 11 April to 26 April 2026 and the second from 10 May to 17 May 2026, for PCM and PCB streams.

Significance of the Extension and Candidate Advisory

The extension of the Maharashtra CET 2026 registration window reflects the CET Cell’s effort to increase accessibility for applicants who may have faced technical, document‑related or other issues during the original registration period. Aspiring students are strongly encouraged to complete their applications well before the revised deadline to prevent last‑minute complications due to server traffic or connectivity delays. After submission, candidates will be able to access further exam information, including admit card release dates and exam day guidelines, through the official portal.
