MHT CET 2027 REPORTED CHANGE / UNCONFIRMED
| Version | Window | Status (as of Oct 14, 2026) |
|---|---|---|
| September proposal | Attempt 1: Dec 15, 2026 – Jan 15, 2027; Attempt 2: April 2027 | Reportedly dropped |
| October reports | Session 1: ~March–April 2027; Session 2: ~April–May 2027 (both after HSC/SSC) | Reported, not yet notified |
The original December-attempt idea was reported from CET Cell Commissioner Dileep Sardesai’s public statements in September. Since Oct 9–12, 2026, multiple education-news outlets have reported the CET Cell has dropped that plan in favour of holding both MHT CET 2027 sessions after Class 12 board exams. Neither version has an official CET Cell notification yet. Full context in our MAH BBA/BMS/BCA/BHMCT CET 2027 article.
CBSE Class 10 STRUCTURE CONFIRMED CALENDAR PENDING
CBSE’s twice-a-year board exam format begins with the 2026–27 session. The second attempt is optional, and the better of two scores counts, in line with NEP 2020. The exact exam calendar, subject-wise mechanics, and registration timeline are still being finalized by CBSE. See our full breakdown in the CBSE twice-a-year exam article.
ICSE (Class 10) CALENDAR AWAITED
The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) typically releases its ICSE Class 10 exam calendar a few months ahead of the exam window, historically starting in late February. As of this update, CISCE has not yet released the official 2027 date sheet. Students should continue to monitor cisce.org for the formal notification, expected in the coming months.
JEE Main 2027 TENTATIVE DATES OUT
Update (September 2026): The National Testing Agency has released its 2026–27 exam calendar, giving Maharashtra engineering aspirants their first look at JEE Main 2027 Session 1 timing. Per NTA’s calendar, JEE Main 2027 Session 1 (Paper 1) is tentatively scheduled for January 22–24 and January 28–30, 2027, with January 31 kept as a buffer date. Session 2 (the usual April attempt) has not been dated yet. NTA has explicitly flagged all calendar dates as tentative and subject to change for administrative, academic, or logistical reasons, so treat this as directional until the formal JEE Main information bulletin drops closer to the exam.
The same NTA calendar also pencils in CMAT 2027 for February 7 — relevant for students keeping a BMS/BBA-to-MBA pathway open. Students juggling JEE Main alongside a potential December MHT CET attempt and Maharashtra board exams should watch jeemain.nta.nic.in for the full information bulletin and confirmed registration window.
