For lakhs of anxious students and their families across Maharashtra, the wait is finally over for one major group. The State Common Entrance Test Cell, Maharashtra, officially declared the MHT CET 2026 PCB 1st attempt results on June 8, 2026. Candidates can now log in and download their scorecards from the official portal cetcell.mahacet.org.
While PCB aspirants (aiming for Pharmacy, BSc, and allied health sciences) are breathing a sigh of relief, PCM students (targeting engineering) are still waiting — the PCM 1st attempt results are expected by June 12, 2026.
Record Participation This Year This year’s MHT CET saw the highest-ever registrations — over 18.12 lakh candidates registered, with 16.29 lakh actually appearing, marking a significant jump from previous years. The two-attempt system clearly boosted participation, giving students a second chance to improve their scores.
Toppers Shine Bright Around 11 candidates, all from Maharashtra, achieved the perfect 100 percentile in the PCB group. Notably, three girls were among these toppers. Their success stories are already inspiring thousands of Class 12 students who burned the midnight oil for months.

Expert Tip for Students
“Don’t panic if your percentile isn’t in the top bracket,” says one career counsellor. “With record participation this year, even 95+ percentile can open doors to good colleges, especially in the later CAP rounds.”
The focus now shifts to PCM results and the release of detailed merit lists and cutoffs. Top colleges like COEP Pune, VJTI Mumbai, and PICT Pune are expected to have very high closing percentiles for popular branches like Computer Science and IT due to increased competition.
This result announcement is a big milestone for thousands of dreams in Maharashtra. Whether you aced it or are planning to use the second attempt wisely — congratulations on reaching this stage!
