As of 10 October 2026 we have not seen official MAH-MBA CET 2027 dates. Portals project a notification in November or December 2026, registration in January and February 2027, and the exam in April and May 2027. The 2026 cycle used 200 questions in 150 minutes with no negative marking, as reported. Start preparing now and treat the 2026 pattern as a guide, not a guarantee.

What is not known yet
- The 2027 exam dates and the number of attempts
- The registration window
- Whether the pattern changes
- Any change in eligibility or the counselling process
If you see a date on social media or a coaching banner, ask where it came from. Only the CET Cell notice counts.
What to do while you wait
- Build speed. At 200 questions in 150 minutes, you have under a minute per question. Daily timed sets help more than reading theory.
- Cover abstract reasoning. It is the section most students have not seen before. Give it its own block of time.
- Keep CAT in view. If CAT is also your goal, one base covers both. See CAT or MAH-CET.
- Read the pattern guide. Our MAH-CET pattern and section strategy goes section by section.
Where this doesn’t apply
This is a holding post. It will be out of date the day the CET Cell releases its notice, and we will update it then. If you are reading this after the dates are out, go to the official site first. We make no prediction about dates beyond what is reported.
2026 cycle dates and pattern from MBAUniverse’s MAH MBA CET page, which cites the State CET Cell. The 2027 projections come from Cracku’s MAH MBA CET 2027 page, labelled expected. The December 2026 expectation is from a second portal. Neither is an official statement. We could not open the CET Cell website from our workspace. No official 2027 notice was seen.
