MHT CET 2026 Registration Status and Key Dates
The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test Cell has urged candidates to complete the registration process well before the deadline to avoid last-minute issues. Only applications with successful fee payment will be treated as confirmed registrations.
Candidates who fail to complete the fee payment by 13 February 2026 will not be considered registered for the examination, even if the application form is submitted.
Course-Wise MHT CET 2026 Registration Details
The authority has also released detailed course-wise registration data for MHT CET 2026. The PCM group has recorded the highest number of confirmed registrations this year. Before reviewing the data, candidates should note that registrations include only those applications where the fee payment process has been completed successfully.
Course Group | Confirmed Registrations |
PCM | 1,57,780 |
PCB | 81,000 |
The data clearly shows that the PCM stream continues to attract the maximum number of candidates, maintaining its dominance over the PCB group.

The authorities have released attempt-wise registration figures separately, highlighting candidate preferences for the examination attempts.
The majority of candidates have opted for both attempts, indicating a strong preference for maximizing chances through multiple exam opportunities. The attempt-wise statistics are as follows:
