About MHT CET
MHT-CET is held by the State Common Entrance Test Cell, Maharashtra, for admission to first-year degree courses in Maharashtra such as engineering and technology, pharmacy, B.Planning and agriculture-related courses. It is a computer-based test held in several shifts at centres across the state. There are two groups: PCM (Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics) and PCB (Physics, Chemistry and Biology). A candidate may take one group or both. Marks in one group are not carried over to the other.
In 2026 the CET Cell held each group in two attempts: the PCM group's first attempt ran from 11 to 20 April 2026 in 16 sessions, and a second attempt followed in May. A candidate who sits both attempts is considered on the better of the two total percentiles.
Each group is one sitting of 180 minutes in two timed parts. For the first 90 minutes only Physics and Chemistry are open, and the candidate may move between them. At 90 minutes those answers are submitted automatically and the third subject opens for its own 90 minutes: Mathematics in PCM, Biology in PCB. Time left in the first part does not carry over.
Every question is a multiple-choice question with four options and one correct answer. The PCM paper has 150 questions: 50 in Physics and 50 in Chemistry at 1 mark each, and 50 in Mathematics at 2 marks each, so each subject is out of 100 when Physics and Chemistry are taken together and the total is 200. The PCB paper has 200 questions at 1 mark each: 50 Physics, 50 Chemistry and 100 Biology, a total of 300. There is no negative marking.
Questions follow the Maharashtra State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) syllabus: about 20% from Standard XI (a fixed list of chapters) and 80% from the whole Standard XII syllabus. The CET Cell says the difficulty is at the level of JEE (Main) for Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics and of NEET for Biology, and that questions are mainly application based.
Results are percentiles, not marks. Because papers differ between shifts, the CET Cell converts each candidate's raw marks into a percentile within the session, to seven decimal places, for the total and for each subject. The total percentile is not the average of the subject percentiles. Question papers are offered in English, Marathi and Urdu; in a dispute the English version is final.
MHT CET PCM exam pattern
180 minutes: 90 minutes for Physics and Chemistry, then 90 minutes for Mathematics
- Physics: Shares the first 90 minutes with Chemistry, 50 questions (10 from Std XI (Class 11), 40 from Std XII (Class 12)), 1 mark each, 50 marks
- Chemistry: Shares the first 90 minutes with Physics, 50 questions (10 from Std XI (Class 11), 40 from Std XII (Class 12)), 1 mark each, 50 marks
- Mathematics: 90 minutes, after Physics and Chemistry are submitted, 50 questions (10 from Std XI (Class 11), 40 from Std XII (Class 12)), 2 marks each, 100 marks
