New Delhi: MHT CET 2022 exam dates have been postponed to the first week of August 2022. Meanwhile, registrations are ongoing with late fees. Last date to apply is April 23.
The decision to postpone MHT CET 2022 was taken to avoid a clash with two major coveted exams, JEE Main 2022 and NEET. Earlier, the exam was scheduled to be conducted from June 3-12, 2022.
As a result, the MHT CET 2022 will be conducted online from August 5 - 10, for PCM group and August 11 to 18, 2022, for the PCB group. The exam will be conducted across various districts of Maharashtra.
Uday Samant, Minister of Higher Education and Technical Education, Maharashtra, confirmed the postponement of MHT CET 2022 from his social media handle. His tweet reads, “Due to JEE and NEET exams, CET exam will be held in the first week of August. Dates will be announced soon.”
JEE आणि NEET परीक्षांच्या मुळे CET परीक्षा ऑगस्ट पहिल्या आठवड्यात होईल.. तारखा लवकरच जाहीर करू.
