# MHT CET 2027 exam dates: first and second attempt schedule 2026-11-07T01:06:46+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Maharashtra Common Entrance Test (MHT CET) 2027 will be held in two attempts, with the first attempt scheduled from 15 to 22 April 2027 and the second from 14 to 21 May 2027. The announcement was made by the State Common Entrance Test Cell, Maharashtra, on 6 November 2026. MHT CET is the entrance exam for admission to undergraduate engineering and pharmacy courses in the state. Candidates can appear for both attempts, with the better score considered for merit. Detailed timetables and subject-wise slots are expected to be released separately by the test cell. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Two attempts give candidates a second chance to improve their score before the merit list is drawn, but they also mean students must plan for back-to-back exam windows in April and May 2027. The test cell has not yet published subject-wise timetables or the application window, leaving schools and coaching centres waiting for the full schedule to align their preparation calendars. Candidates who appeared for the first attempt in April will have just over three weeks to the second round in May, a tight turnaround for re-taking the exam. ## Coverage - careers360.com straightforward announcement of exam dates with no editorial framing This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
