Following the conclusion of previous rounds, the CET Cell has opened the portal for candidates to submit and confirm their college and course preferences for the final major phase of the admission cycle. A total of 23,107 vacant seats are currently up for grabs, providing a significant opportunity for students who have yet to secure a seat in their preferred institutions.
Students can now participate in the MHT CET 2026 counselling process by logging into the official portal to finalize their choices.
