MHT CET 2026 Application Fee Increased by CET Cell, with revised charges applicable for candidates registering for the entrance examination this year. The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test Cell has officially confirmed a hike in the application fee across categories. The revised fee structure applies to candidates applying for PCM, PCB, or both groups as part of the MHT CET 2026 registration process.
Revised MHT CET 2026 Application Fee Structure Explained
The CET Cell has increased the application fee by INR 300 for general category candidates and INR 200 for reserved category candidates when applying for a single group. The revised fee is applicable for candidates from Maharashtra as well as those applying from outside the state, as per category norms. The table below outlines the category-wise revised MHT CET 2026 application fee.
Candidates must ensure correct category selection during registration, as the fee once paid is non-refundable.
MHT CET 2026 Fee for Candidates Applying for Both Attempts
With the introduction of two examination sessions in a single academic year, the CET Cell has also specified the application fee for candidates opting to appear in both attempts. The table below details the fee applicable for candidates applying for both attempts of MHT CET 2026.
Only after successful payment of the application fee is the registration process considered complete.
Reason Behind MHT CET 2026 Application Fee Hike
The increase in application fee has been implemented following the CET Cell’s decision to conduct the MHT CET examination in two sessions each year. This move aims to provide candidates with additional opportunities to improve their scores while ensuring smoother exam administration. The MHT CET 2026 examinations will be conducted across separate schedules for PCM and PCB groups in both sessions, as announced earlier by the authority.
Important Instructions for MHT CET 2026 Applicants
After payment of the application fee, a confirmation page is generated automatically. Candidates are advised to download and print the confirmation page for future reference, as it may be required during admit card download and counselling stages. Applicants must complete the registration process within the notified timeline to avoid late fees or disqualification.
