MAH CET MBA is followed by a Centralized Admission Process (CAP). The MAH CET CAP goes on for one to two months after which the academic session starts in. Typically, MBA admissions at Maharashtra universities and colleges accepting MAH CET score is completed by July and the academic session begins in August. However, in 2020 the entire MAH CET schedule was delayed by over four months due to COVID1-19 pandemic and the session for 2020-21 batch could begin only by January 2021.
Given the numbers of COVID-19 cases currently in Maharashtra, MAH CET MBA admissions are likely to be delayed again this year. Firstly, the MAH CET 2021 registration process has not yet started, secondly it remains to be seen when and how the State CET will conduct the exam (online in IBT mode or at exam centres with COVID-19 guidelines).
