Questions related to MAH AAC CET

Have a question related to MAH AAC CET ?

If you have already appeared for the MHT CET (Maharashtra Common Entrance Test) exam and are planning to appear for the 12th board exam again, here's what you need to know:

  1. MHT CET Marks Validity:

    • The MHT CET exam is generally valid for the year it was conducted. For instance, if you gave the MHT CET in 2024, those marks will be valid only for the 2024 admission cycle.
    • If you plan to take the 12th board exams again (for improving marks), you will not be required to retake the MHT CET unless you want to improve your MHT CET score or if you are applying for admission in a different year.
  2. Retaking MHT CET:

    • If you plan to reapply for the MHT CET after your board exams for a different year, you will need to take the exam again as your previous score will not be valid for the new year.
  3. 12th Board Exam and MHT CET:

    • Your 12th board exam results do not affect your previous MHT CET marks. The two exams are separate, and you can use the previous year's MHT CET marks for admission purposes unless you wish to improve them by retaking the exam.

In summary, if you are applying in the same year , your MHT CET marks remain valid. But if you are applying for admission in a different year, you will need to retake MHT CET.

Yes of course you can fill your form from obc category in MHT CET if you haven't use your caste certificate before like in your board exams But you must fulfill these conditions


If anyone is OBC but he comes under the CL (creamy layer) Section then he will not come under the OBC category. They are equal to general unreserved Category.so your category must fall under non creamy layer of OBC category.


So you have to be OBC-NCL (non creamy layer) for filling category OBC in MHT CET


Be prepared with your OBC-NCL caste certificate.you must obtain your category certificate before filing form.


If there is option of OBC-CL and if you are OBC-CL then you have to choose that option. If the option is unavailable then you have to choose general Category if you fall under OBC-CL.

GOOD LUCK!!

Hello Sahit,

Eligibility Criteria:

a) MHT CET requires candidates to have passed 12th (or equivalent) with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as compulsory subjects.

b) Your NIOS Mathematics marksheet can be used to fulfill the Math requirement.

How to Apply:

a) While applying for MHT CET, you need to upload both your regular 12th marksheet (PCB) and the NIOS Mathematics marksheet as proof of eligibility.

b) Ensure both documents are valid and issued by recognized boards.

Verification Process:

During the document verification phase of counseling, present both marksheets. Clearly mention that the additional Mathematics subject was completed via NIOS.

Important Note:

Keep an eye on specific guidelines from the State CET Cell, Maharashtra, as they may require additional clarification or documentation due to having two marksheets.

By combining your PCB qualification with NIOS Mathematics, you meet the eligibility for B.Tech programs through MHT CET.
