August 3, 2026
The MAH BMS BBA CET Application Form 2027 is expected to open on the official portal cetcell.mahacet.org in the first quarter of 2027.
Candidates who have passed or are appearing in Class 12 can register online after creating an APAAR ID and DigiLocker account.
The Maharashtra Bachelor of Management Studies and Bachelor of Business Administration Common Entrance Test is the state-level gateway to undergraduate management seats across Maharashtra.
Every year, thousands of Class 12 students begin their journey here, so getting the registration right matters as much as the exam itself.
The application fee is ₹1,300 for open/OMS/J&K migrant candidates and ₹1,000 for Maharashtra reserved-category and PwD candidates. All dates below are tentative until the official notification is released.

The State CET Cell, Maharashtra has not yet published the official 2027 schedule. The table below shows the expected windows based on recent cycles.
Treat every date as tentative and re-confirm on the official website before you act.
| Event | Tentative 2027 Window |
| Application form start date | January 2027 (tentative) |
| Application form last date | February 2027 (tentative) |
| Form correction window | After registration closes (tentative) |
| Admit card release | April 2027 (tentative) |
| Examination window | April 2027 (tentative) |
| Result declaration | May 2027 (tentative) |
Freshness note: Some sources point to a March–April registration window instead. Because the exam authority has moved dates in past cycles, we mark everything tentative until the notification is live.
Keep an eye on the official MAH BBA CET exam date page for updates.
The fee depends on your category. This is the most common area students get wrong, so note the corrected figures below — the current cycle fee is ₹1,300, not the older ₹1,000.
| Candidate Category | Application Fee |
| Open / OMS / J&K Migrant candidates | ₹1,300 |
| Maharashtra Reserved Categories & Persons with Disabilities | ₹1,000 |
Payment is accepted online only through net banking, credit/debit cards and UPI wallets. The fee is non-refundable and non-transferable, so double-check your category before paying.
The registration is completed entirely online. Follow these steps in order — Step 1 is the one most applicants overlook.
Create your APAAR ID and DigiLocker account first. This verification is now mandatory before registration.
Visit cetcell.mahacet.org and open the CET Examination Portal for A.Y. 2027-28.
Register using your name (as per Aadhaar), email, mobile number and date of birth to get login credentials.
Log in and complete the form with your personal and academic details.
Upload documents in the prescribed format and size.
Pay the application fee to submit your form.
After the window closes, use the correction facility for permitted fields such as photograph, signature and date of birth.
Keep these ready before you start, so the form does not time out mid-way:
Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets
Aadhaar card (linked to your APAAR ID)
Recent passport-size photograph and signature (scanned)
Valid email address and mobile number
Online payment method (card / net banking / UPI)
Caste Certificate and Caste Validity Certificate
Non-Creamy Layer Certificate (where applicable)
EWS Certificate (if applicable)
Disability Certificate (if applicable)

Minimum marks: 50% aggregate for open category and 45% for reserved categories (confirm for the 2027 cycle in the official brochure).

If you are still deciding between management pathways, our comparison of the difference between BBA and IPMAT courses after 12th helps you choose the right route before you commit to a form fee.
Once your form is submitted, shift focus to the paper. The exam is a 90-minute, 100-mark online test with no negative marking, so accuracy and speed both matter.
| Section | Questions | Marks |
| English Language | 40 | 40 |
| Reasoning (Verbal & Arithmetic) | 30 | 30 |
| General Knowledge & Awareness | 15 | 15 |
| Computer Basics | 15 | 15 |
| Total | 100 | 100 |

Every year, avoidable errors delay applications. Based on how students trip up, watch for these:
Skipping APAAR/DigiLocker setup until the last day — it can take time to authenticate.
Entering a name that does not match the Aadhaar card, which blocks verification.
Uploading photos or signatures outside the prescribed size and format.
Paying under the wrong category, since the fee is non-refundable.
Waiting for the deadline — servers slow down during the final 48 hours.
Submitting your application is just the beginning. The time between registration and the exam is your opportunity to strengthen your preparation and maximise your score.
Create a practical study schedule: Allocate dedicated time to all four sections and follow your plan consistently.
Practice with mock tests regularly: Simulate the actual exam to improve speed, accuracy, and time management for the 100 questions in 90 minutes.
Focus on high-scoring sections: Give extra attention to English Language and Reasoning, as they carry the highest weightage in the exam.
Don't overlook GK and Computer Basics: These sections together contribute 30 marks and can significantly boost your overall score with focused preparation.
Solve previous years' question papers: Analysing past papers helps you identify recurring question patterns, understand the exam difficulty level, and improve your confidence.
Consistent practice, regular revision, and smart time management in the final weeks can make a significant difference to your MAH BBA CET 2027 performance.
Short on time? Our 45-day preparation plan and one-month strategy translate well to MAH BBA CET prep too.
