Payment Tips
-
Pay only through the official candidate login. The CET Cell does not collect fees by phone, email or through agents.
-
If money is debited but the status shows “unpaid”, wait for the bank to update before paying again, and contact the official helpline.
-
The fee is generally non-refundable, so confirm your group and attempt choices before paying.
Key Takeaways
MHT CET 2026 fee: ₹1,300 per attempt for Open/OMS and ₹1,000 for Maharashtra reserved, EWS, PwD and others.
Both attempts cost ₹2,600 or ₹2,000.
Answer key objections and CAP registration have separate fees.
Pro Tip: If you belong to a Maharashtra reserved category, keep your caste certificate ready at the time of registration to claim the lower fee — and to avoid problems later in CAP.
