MHT CET 2027 Phase 1 December Schedule Remains Unconfirmed
MHT CET is an entrance test for students who want to study engineering, pharmacy or agriculture in Maharashtra.
Reports say the first phase of the 2027 test might happen in December.
However, the dates are not official yet.
The State CET Cell will announce the final schedule on its website.
Students should wait for that announcement before making plans.
The exam now has two phases, so students can take it twice.
During counselling, the better score from the two attempts is used.
A government panel is also studying whether Class 12 marks should be added to the admission formula.
The panel is expected to give its recommendations within 15 days.
MHT CET 2027 Phase 1 may be held in December, but dates have not been finalised.
The State CET Cell is expected to publish the official schedule at cetcell.mahacet.org.
MHT CET is used for undergraduate admissions in engineering, pharmacy and agriculture colleges across Maharashtra.
The two-phase system gives candidates two attempts, with the better score considered during counselling.
A state panel is examining whether Class 12 marks should influence engineering and pharmacy merit lists.
