MHT CET 2026 Results: Expected Dates, PCM/PCB Timeline & Scorecard Guide

Thousands of engineering and pharmacy aspirants in Maharashtra are holding their breath. The wait for the MHT CET 2026 results is officially on, but here’s the catch: there is no single confirmed date yet. While rumors swirl around late May or early June, the Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test Cell has remained tight-lipped about the exact announcement time.

The stakes are high. This entrance exam determines admission to undergraduate engineering, pharmacy, and agriculture courses across the state. For students who just finished their PCM (Physics-Chemistry-Mathematics) or PCB (Physics-Chemistry-Biology) exams, every day feels like a year. But before you panic-refresh your browser, let’s break down what we actually know versus what’s just speculation.

When Will MHT CET 2026 Results Actually Drop?

If you’re looking for a crystal ball, you won’t find one in the official notifications. However, education portals and historical data paint a pretty clear picture. Most experts point to a window between late May and mid-June 2026.

Here’s the thing: different sources have slightly different takes. Careers360 suggests that Session 1 results could appear anywhere between May and June, with PCM scores likely landing in June. On the other hand, Collegedunia and Shiksha.com lean toward the last week of May or very early June. They note that results often drop in the evening hours—a classic move by authorities to manage server traffic.

Then there’s Propelld, which predicts the second week of June as the most likely timeframe. Why the discrepancy? It usually comes down to how quickly the evaluation process wraps up after the final exam session. Last year, for context, PCM results were declared on June 16, 2025, and PCB on June 17, 2025. History doesn’t always repeat itself exactly, but it rhymes.

The Answer Key Drama: May 20 Is Your Deadline

Before the results even hit the portal, there’s a crucial step you can’t miss. The provisional answer key for the PCM group is scheduled to be released on May 20, 2026. This isn’t just paperwork; it’s your chance to challenge any errors in the key.

According to reports from The Times of India, candidates have until May 22, 2026, to file objections. And yes, it costs money. You’ll need to pay Rs 1,000 per objection via online payment. If you think an answer was marked wrong, this is your only shot at correcting it before the final scorecard is generated. Don’t sleep on this deadline.

For the PCB group, updates regarding the answer key have already been processed through similar channels, so those students might be one step ahead in the timeline.

How to Check and Download Your Scorecard

Once the big day arrives, the process is straightforward but requires precision. You won’t get a physical letter in the mail—everything is digital. Here’s how it typically works:

• Visit the Official Portal: Head to the Maharashtra State CET Cell website. Look for the "Latest Announcements" or "Undergraduate Courses" section.
• Login Credentials: You’ll need either your registered email ID and password OR your application number and date of birth. Some portals mention both options, so keep your registration details handy.
• Captcha Verification: Enter the security code displayed on the screen to prove you’re human.
• View and Save: Your result will display your subject-wise marks, percentile score, and overall rank. Download the PDF immediately. Take a screenshot too, just in case the server crashes later.

Make sure to check your normalized score carefully. If you spot any discrepancies, contact the helpdesk immediately using the official numbers provided on the site (such as 18002090191). Waiting until counseling starts to fix errors is a recipe for disaster.

What Comes Next: Merit Lists and Counseling

Getting your scorecard is just the first hurdle. The real game begins with the Provisional Merit List. According to analysis by Propelld, this list is tentatively expected around mid-July 2026. This document is critical because it forms the basis for CAP (Centralized Admission Process) counseling rounds.

Your normalized scorecard PDF will be required during these counseling sessions. Without it, you can’t secure a seat in government or private colleges. So, treat that downloaded file like gold.

Exam Schedule Recap: Did You Know?

While everyone focuses on results, it’s worth noting the chaotic exam schedule that preceded them. The PCB exams were held between April 9 and April 17, 2026, followed by PCM exams from April 19 to April 27. Some sources also mention additional sessions in May, adding to the complexity of the evaluation timeline. This staggered approach means results for different groups may not drop simultaneously, though they are usually close together.
