The State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell, Maharashtra, is set to release the MHT CET 2026 Session 1 provisional answer key for the PCM group today. The PCM examination was conducted from April 11 to April 20, 2026.

Along with the provisional answer key, the authorities will also release the response sheet and question paper, while activating the objection window for candidates. Students will be able to access these documents through the CET login portal at cetcell.mahacet.org.

Reports suggest that the answer key may be released after 2 PM, although it could also be published later in the evening.

Candidates can raise objections till May 22

The provisional answer key will contain the correct answers to questions asked in the examination, while the response sheet will display the answers marked by candidates during the test.

Since the key is provisional, candidates will have the option to challenge answers they believe are incorrect. The objection window for the MHT CET 2026 PCM answer key will remain open till May 22.

To raise objections, candidates must submit supporting proof and pay a fee of Rs 1,000 per question challenged. The Maharashtra CET Cell has stated that objections submitted without valid supporting documents will not be accepted.
