MHT CET 2025 – All You Need to Know Before the Exam

If you’re aiming for engineering or pharmacy seats in Maharashtra, the MHT CET 2025 is the gateway. In this guide we break down the important dates, who can apply, how to grab the admit card, and the smartest ways to study. No fluff, just the facts you’ll use right away.

Key Dates & Registration Process

The State Common Entrance Test Cell released the 2025 calendar early this year. Registration opens on April 5 and closes on May 10. You’ll need a valid ID, class 12 marksheet, and a recent passport‑size photo. The fee is ₹1,200 for general category candidates and ₹800 for SC/ST.

Once you submit the online form, you’ll receive a confirmation email with a transaction ID. Keep that ID handy – you’ll need it to download the admit card later. The admit card becomes available on the official portal on July 10. Log in with your registration number and birth date, then click ‘Download Admit Card’. Print two copies and double‑check the details (name, photo, exam centre). Any mistake means you’ll have to apply for a correction, which could delay your entry.

The actual test day is slated for September 20, 2025. Arrive at least 30 minutes early, bring a valid photo ID, and carry a pen (no electronic devices). The exam runs for three hours, covering Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics/Biology.

How to Prepare Effectively for MHT CET 2025

Start your preparation at least three months before the test. Here’s a simple roadmap:

• Know the syllabus. It mirrors the Maharashtra State Board curriculum for class 11‑12. Focus on NCERT textbooks for Physics, Chemistry, and Maths – they cover most questions.
• Make a study schedule. Divide each week into 2‑hour blocks for each subject, adding a weekly mock test on Saturdays.
• Practice past papers. Download MHT CET 2023‑2024 question papers from the official site. Time yourself to build stamina and identify weak spots.
• Clear doubts quickly. Use YouTube channels like ‘MHT CET Experts’ or join a local study group. A quick video explanation can save hours of confusion.
• Revise with flashcards. Jot down formulas, chemical reactions, and physics concepts on index cards. Review them daily on your commute.

Don’t forget mock exams. Simulating real‑time conditions helps you manage the 180‑minute pressure and improves accuracy. After each mock, analyse every mistake – was it a concept error or a careless slip? Fix the root cause before the next test.

On the last week, switch to light revision. Skim your flashcards, revisit solved papers, and get plenty of sleep. Cramming the night before can hurt concentration more than help.

After the exam, results are posted around October 15. Check them on the official portal using your roll number. If you clear the cutoff, you’ll receive a counseling call. Keep your documents (marksheets, photo ID, address proof) ready for seat allocation.With the right timeline, clear study plan, and a few practice tests, MHT CET 2025 can be a smooth ride. Good luck, and may you secure the seat you deserve!
