Questions related to MAH AAC CET

Have a question related to MAH AAC CET ?

Hello there,

Yes, you can pursue BSc IT or BTech IT after completing 12th with PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) and giving the MHT CET (Maharashtra Common Entrance Test) for the PCM group.

Here's why:

  • BSc IT : Many universities offer BSc IT with PCB as the 12th subject group, as it mainly focuses on Information Technology, and the course doesn't require a strong background in Mathematics, though having it is helpful. You may need to check specific college eligibility criteria for the BSc IT course.

  • BTech IT :

    • Some engineering colleges allow students with PCB to apply for BTech programs like IT or Computer Science , but most top engineering colleges prefer candidates from the PCM stream.

    • If you are taking the MHT CET for PCM , you can apply for BTech IT, as the eligibility for the exam includes candidates from both PCM and PCB .

      Key Points:

  • BTech IT : Typically requires Mathematics in 12th for full eligibility. But if you have appeared for MHT CET (PCM), you may still have a chance to apply.

  • BSc IT : Likely to be more flexible with a PCB background.

Make sure to check individual college guidelines for specific eligibility details. If Mathematics was a key requirement for BTech IT, some colleges might allow you through a bridge course or an additional math exam.


I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.


If your caste validity application as OBC has been rejected, it may affect your MHT CET form if the category details do not match the official records. You cannot claim OBC benefits (like reservation) without a valid caste certificate. Instead of filling a second form, consider contacting the MHT CET helpline or authorities to update your category to "General" in your existing application. Submitting two forms may lead to disqualification as duplicate applications are not allowed. If the authorities allow category correction, ensure you complete the process before the deadline. For future admissions, focus on addressing the reason for your caste validity rejection to avoid similar issues in other applications.

Hello,

Yes, you can still claim admission under the EWS (Economically Weaker Section) category during the MHT-CET counseling process if you now have a valid EWS certificate.

Hello,

Yes, you can make changes to your MHT CET registration for the CAP (Centralized Admission Process) round . Here's what you can do:

  1. Log in to the official MHT CET portal.
  2. Access the "Edit" option for your registration details.
  3. Correct the mistake by selecting "Yes" for the EWS category.
  4. Upload your valid EWS certificate.
  5. Submit the changes before the deadline for CAP round modifications.

Ensure that all corrections are made within the stipulated time frame to avoid issues with your eligibility.

Hope it helps !

There are three solutions to this:

  1. Fill up a new form : You won’t face any issues while filling out the second form, but you will need to provide a new/alternate email ID and phone number. Additionally, you will have to pay the fees again.

  2. Correction window : In this option, you can change your full name. The correction window might open in March (MHT-CET has not announced an official date yet; this is just a prediction). Stay updated on the correction window news by regularly checking updates on Google or the official MHT-CET website ( cetcell.mahacet.org ).

  3. Unconditional undertaking : This is a form that you need to fill out and carry with you to the exam center. The form will be released when the admit cards are issued. At that time, you can download the form and submit it at your exam center.

I recommend solution 1.

Wishing you all the best! Stay confident and focus on your preparation. You've got this!
