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.

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.
