MHT CET 2027 Group-Wise Fee Breakdown

MHT CET is held for two exam groups. Group 1 (PCM) covers Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics and is meant for students targeting engineering admissions. Group 2 (PCB) covers Physics, Chemistry, and Biology for pharmacy and agriculture aspirants. The fee you pay depends on how many groups you register for.

  • Applying for one group (PCM only or PCB only) attracts the standard category-wise fee listed in the table above.
  • Applying for both PCM and PCB groups requires an additional fee for the second group.
  • Based on 2026 trends, the additional fee for the second group is expected to be approximately ₹200.
  • The exact combined fee for both groups will be confirmed in the official MHT CET 2027 notification.

Students who want to keep both engineering and pharmacy options open should apply for both groups and account for the combined fee during registration.
