The MHT CET exam 2026 will be conducted in two sessions. The MHT CET 2026 for PCM will be conducted as follows:

No, the MHT-CET registrations have been closed for the Universal SkillTech University BTech admissions 2026. The last date to register for the MHT-CET 2026 was scheduled on February 27th, 2026.

The registrations for the JEE Mains have also been closed for the Universal SkillTech University BTech admissions at this point.

The best way to prepare for MHT CET 2026 is through the official syllabus. The authorities have already provided the detailed syllabus for Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology. Additionally, students must attempt the free MHT CET mock test prepared and released by the authorities. Candidates can also practice the MHT CET 2026 sample papers by Shiksha for comprehensive preparation.

For any question, if none of the options is found correct or a question is found to be wrong or dropped, then full marks will be awarded to all candidates irrespective of the fact whether the question has been attempted or not attempted by the candidate.

For Maths, each question is worth 2 marks and for Physics, Chemistry and Biology, each question is worth 1 marks.

The MHT CET exam has 3 papers- Maths, Physics & Chemistry, and Biology. However, there are only 2 sections in the exam. For the PCM group, the two sections are Paper 1 (Maths) and Paper 2 (Physics and Chemistry). For the PCB group, the two sections are Paper 2 (Physics and Chemistry) and Paper 3 (Biology). 

As per the MHT CET 2026 exam pattern, the test will be conducted in online mode (CBT) having only MCQs. The exam consists of three papers (PCM/PCB) with 90 minutes each, totalling 100 marks per paper. There is no negative marking. Mathematics questions are worth 2 marks each, while Physics, Chemistry, and Biology are worth 1 mark each.

The CET Cell will now conduct the MHT CET exam twice a year, similar to the JEE Mains exam. With this, the authorities aim to provide candidates another chance to improve their scores without wasting a year.

Biology or Paper 3 is not compulsory for PCM group students, though it will be tested for the PCB group aspirants. Thus, it is important to choose your subjects carefully, depending on the course you seek admission into. Candidates can also apply for both groups, thus making biology compulsory in such a case.

The MHT CET 2026 exam is conducted for a total of 200 marks for both PCM and PCB marks. The MHT CET exam is conducted for 3 papers- Maths (Paper 1), Physics and Chemistry (Paper 2) and Biology (Paper 3) and each for 100 marks. Paper 2 is common for both groups.

The MHT CET 2026 exam will be conducted in online mode as a computer-based test. Candidates have to select the correct answers on their computer screens. The exam will be held at various test centres across the state.
