Expected MET 2027 Timeline

These estimates come from past cycles. Reports differ on the Phase 1 deadline: some say the third week of March, others the fourth. For reference, MAHE extended the Phase 1 registration for MET 2026 until 23 March 2026.
Separate Forms for Each Phase
MET is held in two phases, and each phase needs its own application. A separate application process opens for each phase. One report expects the Phase 2 form to open around the third week of March 2027, though this is an estimate [VERIFY]. Candidates cannot submit multiple forms for the same phase, according to the source [VERIFY].
