If you or your child missed the MHT CET 2026 form earlier, don’t panic — but also don’t relax.

A small 2-day window has been reopened, which many students in Palghar, Boisar, Saphale, and Dahanu have been waiting for.

But honestly speaking, this looks like the last chance.

🆔 APAAR ID – Important Update Students Should Know

One important thing many students in the Palghar region are still not aware of:

👉 APAAR ID (Academic Bank of Credits ID)

• It is being gradually linked with student academic records
• Some students may be asked to provide or generate an APAAR ID during or after registration

👉 If you don’t have it:

• Check with your school
• Or create through DigiLocker / school support

👉 Not having it immediately may not stop registration, but it’s important for future academic tracking

💰 Late Fee Details

• Additional Late Fee: ₹500

👉 Total fee depends on:

• General / Reserved category
• PCM / PCB / Both selection

🎯 Who Should Apply Now?

This is especially important for:

• Students who missed the earlier form
• Students still deciding between JEE vs CET
• Students from Palghar, Saphale, Boisar and Dahanu, a rural belt where updates reach late
• Parents who delayed decision, thinking “abhi time hai”

👉 If you are even 1% unsure—fill out the form first

🧑‍🏫 Ground Reality (From Palghar Region)

Every year in Palghar, Boisar, Saphale, and Dahanu, we see the same pattern:

• “Sir form reh gaya.”
• “Last date nikal gayi kya?”
• “Ab kya option hai?”

👉 And honestly, after that, options become very limited.

MHT CET is not just an exam, it’s:

• Entry to top Maharashtra engineering colleges
• Backup for students preparing for JEE
