The Maharashtra State CET Cell has issued strict malpractice guidelines for MHT CET 2026, warning candidates against using AI tools or digital cheating methods during exams. Any violation may result in cancellation of candidature and possible legal action. The rules aim to ensure fair and transparent entrance examinations.
The State Common Entrance Test Cell, Maharashtra has issued new guidelines warning candidates appearing for MHT CET 2026 against using AI tools, digital devices, or other unfair means during the examination. Authorities stated that candidates caught engaging in such activities may face cancellation of candidature and possible legal action. The advisory has been released to ensure fair conduct during computer-based entrance examinations and to prevent the misuse of emerging technologies in the testing environment.
MHT CET 2026 Malpractice Rules and Prohibited Activities
The CET Cell has defined several actions that will be treated as malpractice during the exam. These rules apply to all candidates appearing for the entrance examination conducted for professional courses. Some of the prohibited activities include:

- Communicating with other candidates or sharing answers
- Bringing unauthorised notes or printed material inside the exam hall
Candidates found violating these rules may have their exam attempt cancelled immediately and could also face disciplinary or legal consequences.
Digital Cheating in Computer-Based Tests
Officials noted that the rules were updated due to the growing use of technology in computer-based examinations. Many CET examinations are now conducted online, which has increased concerns over cyber-enabled cheating methods. Authorities specifically warned that AI-based assistance, remote access tools, or screen-sharing technologies will be treated as serious violations if used during the exam. If such misconduct is detected, the candidate’s entire examination attempt may be cancelled, and further legal action could be initiated under applicable laws.

Apart from digital cheating, the CET Cell has listed several other serious offences related to exam misconduct. Key violations include:
- Impersonation or identity fraud during the exam
- Sending exam questions outside the exam centre
- Tampering with admit cards or identity documents
- Attempting to influence officials through recommendations or bribes
Such actions may lead to strict penalties including disqualification from the examination and possible legal proceedings.

To maintain exam integrity, authorities have strengthened monitoring measures at examination centres. The following security steps are expected to be implemented:
- CCTV surveillance at exam centres

Officials said the updated guidelines were issued in advance so that candidates are aware of the rules and avoid any actions that could lead to disciplinary action.
