MHT-CET 2027 First Attempt: Planning the Months That Are Left

Both MHT-CET (CET) 2027 attempts are reported to come after the Class 12 boards. How to split the months left between the Class 12 syllabus, Class 11 revision and timed practice, without losing the board exam.

Illustration of an MHT-CET 2027 study plan

MHT-CET (CET) now has two attempts, and news reports in October 2026 said both 2027 attempts will be held after the Class 12 (HSC) board exams, about four weeks apart, with the better score counted. As of 27 October 2026 the State CET Cell had not published the official 2027 schedule, so treat those reports as likely, not final. Either way, the first attempt is now only a few months away, and the way those months are used matters more than the exact date.

Why plan for the first attempt, not the second

A second attempt is a safety net, not a plan. Students who treat the first attempt as a "trial" usually arrive at the second one with the same gaps and less time. Prepare as if the first attempt is the one that counts; if it goes well, the second becomes a chance to improve rather than a rescue.

Where the marks come from

The CET Cell's syllabus takes roughly 20% of the questions from Class 11 and 80% from Class 12, with no negative marking. Two things follow. First, Class 12 chapters are the bulk of the paper, so they must be finished early. Second, the Class 11 portion is small but not optional: a handful of chapters, revised well, is worth more than a fresh look at everything.

A month-by-month outline

  • November: finish the Class 12 chapters still pending in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics (or Biology). Keep one short CET-style chapter test a week so speed is not neglected.
  • December: revise the Class 11 chapters that appear in the MHT-CET syllabus. Start one full-length timed paper every week and analyse it the same day.
  • January and February (boards season): the board exam comes first in these weeks. Board answers need full working and clear writing, so keep MCQ practice short: 30–40 minutes a day is enough to stay in rhythm.
  • After the last board paper: switch fully to CET mode. Two to three full papers a week in the exam's time slot, with revision chosen from the mistakes, not from the textbook order.

Speed and accuracy, not more chapters

With no negative marking, every question should be attempted, but the paper rewards students who reach every question with time to spare. Accuracy and speed in MHT-CET explains how to build both. After each mock, look at the percentile and the attempt rate, not only the marks; how to analyse a mock test shows what to write down.

Keep the board exam safe

Board marks still matter for eligibility and for confidence. The good news is that the syllabus overlaps almost completely; what differs is the way of answering. Class 12 board answer writing covers the presentation side, so board preparation does not turn into a second, separate course of study.

What is still unconfirmed

The exact dates, the registration window and any change in pattern will come from the CET Cell's own notices. MHT-CET 2027 attempts: what we know so far and where the official updates come from are kept current as notices appear.

At DV40

Our MHT-CET (CET) coaching at the Panchavati centre in Nashik runs regular online mock tests with a score and rank report after each one, and weekly tests through Class 12. You can also try the free MHT-CET College Predictor with a mock percentile to see which colleges are in range. To plan the remaining months for your child, book a free counselling session.
