Hello,
The registration for MH CET Law (5-year LLB) for the next cycle (likely 2026) hasn't started yet, but don't worry, it will open again around January/February, with the 2025 window closing in March. This means you can expect the same for the 2026 sessions.
I hope it will clear your query!!
Hello,
A non-local student does not get full fee reimbursement through MHT-CET or WBJEE. Full fee reimbursement is usually given only to students who belong to the home state and satisfy the state-specific eligibility rules. In MHT-CET, only Maharashtra domicile candidates under valid categories are eligible for government fee reimbursement. In WBJEE, only West Bengal domicile students can get the state benefits and fee waivers. If you are a non-local candidate in either state, you can still take admission, but you will not receive full fee reimbursement from the state government.
Hello,
It is not possible to receive automatic notifications for the forms of JEE Mains SAT and MHT CET. You will need to check the official portals of these exams regularly when the year 2027 approaches. The exam authorities release their application forms through official announcements, and you can stay updated by checking their notices or by following reliable educational sources. You can also set reminders to check updates during the usual application periods so you do not miss any important dates
Hope this helps you.

However, the best way to stay updated for JEE Mains, SAT, and MHT-CET application form dates is to regularly check their official websites and follow reliable education portals. These exams usually announce forms a few months before the exam.
You can also enable notifications on exam alerts apps or official portals so that you will be informed as soon as the forms are released.
Hope this helps you.
