Importance of MHT-CET
MHT-CET is the gateway to top government and private engineering and pharmacy colleges in Maharashtra. A good score ensures access to quality education at affordable fees, especially in state-run institutions. For students aiming to build careers in engineering, technology, or pharmacy, MHT-CET is the first step towards success.
MHT-CET PCM 2026
For students aspiring to pursue engineering and technology, the PCM group is the key pathway. It emphasises problem-solving, logical reasoning, and application of concepts in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. With strong preparation, students can not only crack MHT-CET but also build a strong base for other national-level exams. This stream opens doors to diverse fields like Computer Science, Mechanical, Civil, and Electronics Engineering.
