MAH CET 2026 registration extended to March 4 for BBA, BCA, BHMCT; APAAR ID via DigiLocker mandatory

The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test Cell (CET Cell) has extended the registration deadline for admission to MAH-BHMCT, BCA, BBA, BBM and BMS courses considering the “academic interest of candidates”. Students will be able to submit their application until March 4 through the official website, cetcell.mahacet.org.

The State CET Cell earlier announced the tentative exam dates for MAH BBA, BHMCT and allied courses.

As per the schedule, the entrance exam will be held from April 28 to 30 as a computer-based test (CBT) for Bachelor of Hotel Management and Catering Technology (BHMCT), Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA), Bachelor of Management Studies (BMS), Bachelor of Computer Application (BCA), MBA (Integrated), MCA (Integrated) courses for the academic year 2026–27.

Both APAAR ID and Aadhaar ID were made mandatory for CET registration. In view of the technical difficulties faced by candidates, Aadhaar authentication will continue to be the preferred mode of verification for CET 2026 registration, the CET Cell clarified earlier.

In the latest notice, it has asked candidates who have not yet generated APAAR ID to create it through DigiLocker before completing the application form.
