MHT CET Eligibility Criteria 2026 for Maharashtra State Candidature
This category includes candidates whose state where they live is Maharashtra. These applicants are limited to one type of eligibility. The following five categories of candidatures.
Understanding MHT-CET Eligibility & Minimum Marks Criteria
What Does "MHT-CET Eligibility" Mean: MHT-CET eligibility refers to the minimum academic and category-based requirements that students must meet to appear for the Maharashtra Common Entrance Test and subsequently apply for engineering or pharmacy admissions. These requirements are set by the State CET Cell and may vary slightly each year based on official notifications.
How Subject-Wise Marks Affect Eligibility: While the aggregate PCM score is the primary criterion, some colleges may have per-subject minimum requirements. For example, a top engineering college might require at least 40% in Mathematics specifically. Our predictor checks these nuances to give you a comprehensive eligibility assessment.
Minimum Marks Required for Eligibility: Typically, candidates from the Open category require a minimum of 50% aggregate in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) in their HSC or equivalent examination. Reserved category students (SC, ST, OBC) usually receive a relaxation and may qualify with 45% aggregate. These thresholds are subject to official updates each academic year.
Category-Wise Eligibility Rules: Open Category: Requires the full minimum percentage threshold (usually 50%).OBC/EWS: May have slight relaxation based on state policies.SC/ST: Typically allowed 5% relaxation in aggregate marks.Domicile requirements also play a role — Maharashtra residents often receive preference in seat allocation through the CAP (Centralized Admission Process) rounds.
