MAH MBA CET 2026 City Intimation Slip Released; Admit Cards Expected Tomorrow
The State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell, Maharashtra, has officially activated the link for the MAH MBA CET 2026 City Intimation Slip today, April 1, 2026. This follows a brief delay due to the Mahavir Jayanti holiday. Registered candidates for the first session can now log in to the official portal, cetcell.mahacet.org, to identify their allotted examination city.
The MAH MBA CET 2026 Session 1 is scheduled to take place on April 6, 7, and 8, 2026. While the city slip provides the name of the district or town, the specific venue address and shift timings will only be revealed in the Final Admit Card, which is expected to be released tomorrow, April 2, 2026.
MAH MBA CET 2026: Important Dates & Phases
This year, the exam is being conducted in two distinct phases. Candidates who registered for both attempts should note the separate timelines:
| Event | Session 1 (April) | Session 2 (May) |
|---|---|---|
| City Intimation Slip | Available Now (April 1) | Last week of April 2026 |
| Final Admit Card | Expected April 2, 2026 | First week of May 2026 |
| Examination Dates | April 6, 7, & 8, 2026 | May 9, 2026 |
The CET Cell has confirmed that if a candidate appears for both sessions, the best of the two percentiles will be considered for the Centralized Admission Process (CAP) in June. For regular updates on the hall ticket download link, follow Only Education News.
How to Access Your City Intimation Slip
To view your allotted test city, follow these steps on the Maharashtra CET portal:
- Visit cetcell.mahacet.org.

- Log in using your Registered Email ID and Password.

Note: The city intimation slip is not a valid document for entry into the exam center. You must carry a printed copy of the Final Admit Card along with an original photo ID on the day of the exam.
Preparation Check: Final 5-Day Strategy
With only five days remaining for the April session, management aspirants should shift their focus from new topics to strategy refinement:
- No Negative Marking: Since there is no penalty for wrong answers, ensure you have a strategy to attempt all 200 questions within the 150-minute window.
- Reasoning Dominance: Nearly 50% of the paper (100 marks) is dedicated to Logical and Abstract Reasoning. Practice "Visual Reasoning" puzzles daily to maintain speed.
- Document Readiness: If your name on the ID proof (Aadhaar/PAN) does not exactly match the application, keep a gazette notification or marriage certificate ready (especially for female candidates with a surname change).
