No, MHT CET is not required for MPSC (Maharashtra Public Service Commission).
MHT CET is an engineering/pharmacy entrance exam, while MPSC is a state civil services exam. For MPSC, you only need a graduation degree from a recognized university, your CET score has no role in eligibility or selection.
