The Maharashtra Higher and Technical Education Department has extended the registration deadline for the second attempt of the MHT CET examination for PCM and PCB streams to April 23, 2026. The decision comes after multiple representations from students who were unable to complete their applications within the earlier deadline.

The State Common Entrance Test Cell, Mumbai, which conducts the MHT CET for admissions to engineering, pharmacy and agriculture courses for the 2026–27 academic year, will reopen the registration portal for one day to facilitate pending applications.
