There is a lot of buzz online over MHT CET December attempt. Many students are wondering what is the official stand on the propsed December attempt for MHT CET 2027. Amid all sorts of rumours on the MHT CET 2027 exam dates, the CET Cell issued a notice on October 19, to bring clarity and warn those who are misleading serious aspirants with fake claims. Check what is the current status on the December attempt before planning your attempt.

MHT CET 2027 December Attempt: Official Update on Exam Dates

The State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell will conduct the MHT CET exam for both PCM and PCB groups for admission to Engineering and Pharmacy courses in the state. Last year, the authorities introduced two attempts for the Maharashtra Common Entrance Test. It was also announced that the CET Cell is planning to conduct the first session earlier, most likely in December. The idea was to allow students enough time between the entrance test, the national-level JEE Mains and the board exams. However, it is to be noted that the December attempt was not officially announced on the Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test Cell’s website. This makes it merely a proposal and not a final decision.

The authorities announce all the updates over the exam it conducts through the official website at cetcell.mahacet.org. Candidates must refer to the official website for all updates and events. For now, the CET Cell has not released any notification for the 2027 session. The officials have taken a note of the misleading information available online and have taken appropriate action against it. Further, it has informed of a newly formed task force to monitor information available on social media such as Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, X (formerly Twitter).

The circular does not mention any exam dates or registration dates. Candidates should wait for the official notification before making any assumptions based on unverified claims about the MHT CET 2027 schedule.

Is MHT CET 2027 December Attempt Cancelled?

There is currently no basis to conclude that the December 2026 attempt has been officially cancelled, as the proposed attempt itself was not confirmed through an official exam schedule on the CET Cell website. It is important to note the distinction between the tentative dates discussed in reports and dates formally announced by the authority. Until the CET Cell publishes the MHT CET 2027 schedule, the examination dates and number of attempts for the upcoming admission cycle should not be treated as final.

MHT CET 2027 Exam Dates: What Should Candidates Expect?

The MHT CET exam schedule will clarify when the PCM and PCB exams will be conducted, along with the application process and other important dates. Candidates can refer to the previous examination cycle to understand how the schedule was structured, but last year’s dates should not be considered an indication of the confirmed MHT CET 2027 timeline.

For MHT CET 2026, the CET Cell scheduled the first attempt between April 11 and April 26, 2026, and the second attempt between May 10 and May 17, 2026. Until an official notification is published, the December attempt should be treated as unconfirmed rather than officially cancelled. Candidates should use last year's schedule only as a reference while waiting for the official schedule for MHT CET 2027.
