What is MHT CET 2027?

MHT CET stands for Maharashtra Common Entrance Test. It is a state-level competitive examination organised by the State Common Entrance Test Cell, Maharashtra. The exam gives students admission to BE/BTech, BPharm, and Agriculture degree programmes offered by government, government-aided, and private institutes in Maharashtra.

The test is held every year in online CBT (Computer-Based Test) mode. It has two separate groups — PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) for engineering and technology courses, and PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) for pharmacy and agriculture courses. Students can appear for one or both groups based on the courses they want to apply for.

More than 12 lakh candidates registered for MHT CET in 2026, making it one of the largest state-level entrance tests in India. The exam is based on the Maharashtra State Board Class 11 and 12 curriculum, so it is accessible to most students who have studied through the state board or equivalent boards.

How MHT CET Score is Calculated

If you appear for both sessions (Attempt 1 in April and Attempt 2 in May), the CET Cell uses the best of the two scores for merit calculation. The scores are normalised across shifts to adjust for difficulty variation between different question sets.

What the Result Contains

  • Your percentile score (overall and subject-wise)
  • Total marks obtained (raw score)
  • Category-wise rank
  • Qualifying status (whether you are eligible for CAP counselling)

There is no minimum qualifying mark for MHT CET itself — all candidates who appear get a score. However, admission eligibility depends on meeting the Class 12 minimum marks criteria (45% for open category).

MHT CET 2027 Marks vs Rank

Since MHT CET uses a percentile system, your rank in the merit list depends on how you performed relative to all other candidates. The table below gives you an idea of the expected marks vs percentile range based on 2026 data. These are estimates — the actual distribution depends on the difficulty level of the 2027 paper.

PCM (Engineering) – Expected Marks vs Percentile

Marks (out of 200) Expected Percentile (Approximate) Expected Rank Range
185–200 99.95+ Top 500
170–184 99.8–99.95 500–2,000
155–169 99.5–99.8 2,000–5,000
140–154 99.0–99.5 5,000–12,000
120–139 97–99 12,000–30,000
100–119 93–97 30,000–70,000
80–99 85–93 70,000–1,20,000
60–79 70–85 1,20,000–2,40,000

In 2026, MHT CET PCM registrations touched 7.6 lakh candidates. The competition for top colleges like COEP and VJTI is intense — you need a rank below 5,000 for most top branches.

Factors That Affect MHT CET Cutoff

  • Total registrations: In 2026, registrations grew 36% — more candidates means higher competition and higher cutoffs
  • Exam difficulty: A tougher paper usually brings the cutoff down; an easier paper pushes it up
  • Total seats available: New colleges or new branches can slightly bring cutoffs down
  • Category: Cutoffs are different for Open, OBC, SC, ST, EWS and PwD categories — reserved category cutoffs are lower

MHT CET 2027 Counselling: CAP Rounds

Admission to engineering, pharmacy, and agriculture colleges in Maharashtra through MHT CET is done via the Centralised Admission Process (CAP), conducted by the State CET Cell. CAP Round 1 for MHT CET 2027 is expected around August 2027. In 2026, CAP counselling saw more than 2.19 lakh registrations across nine courses.

CAP Counselling Process — Step by Step

  • Step 1 – CAP Registration: Register separately on the CET Cell CAP portal after the MHT CET result is out. Registration is different from the exam registration. You submit your documents here for verification.
  • Step 2 – Document Verification: Get your documents verified online or at a Facilitation Centre. This includes Class 10 and 12 marksheets, domicile certificate, caste certificate, and MHT CET scorecard.
  • Step 3 – Choice Filling: Log in and fill your preference list of colleges and branches. You can choose as many options as you want, in order of preference. Fill as many as possible to improve your chances.
  • Step 4 – Seat Allotment: The CET Cell runs the seat allotment algorithm based on your rank, category, and choices. Results are published on the portal.
  • Step 5 – Reporting to College: If allotted a seat, pay the seat acceptance fee online and report to the allotted college within the deadline. Missing the reporting deadline means you lose the seat.
  • Step 6 – Further Rounds: If you are not satisfied with your allotment, you can participate in Round 2, Round 3, etc. In 2026, four CAP rounds were conducted.

Important Points About CAP

  • Maharashtra State (MS) candidates get 85% of the seats; All India (AI) / OMS candidates compete for the remaining 15%
  • Seats are divided into government, government-aided, and private unaided college categories
  • In 2026, around 82% of total seats across 387 colleges were filled through the CAP process
  • Approximately 1.82 lakh students got admission through CAP in 2026
  • A Vacancy Round (Institutional Level Process) may be conducted after all CAP rounds for remaining vacant seats

Never miss your document verification deadline. If your documents are not verified, you will not be able to participate in seat allotment even if you have a good rank.
