The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell will soon release the answer key of the MHT CET 2025 exam. Candidates who sat for the exam are advised to visit the official website, cetcell.mahacet.org, regularly for information on the release of the answer key and the announcement of the final result. While no specific date has been established as of yet, reports suggest that the answer key could be out any day now. Candidates are urged to remain on their toes and ready to download their response sheets and answer keys as soon as they are up.

The MHT CET is a key entrance test for students applying for admission into different undergraduate engineering, pharmacy, and agriculture courses by Maharashtra colleges. This year, the exam was held in two streams, viz., PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) and PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics). The PCB exams were held from April 9 to April 17, 2025, whereas the PCM exams were held from April 19 to April 27, 2025. Further, a retest was held on May 5, 2025, for approximately 24,744 candidates who were impacted by some 20 vague questions due to translation mistakes. This retest was intended to provide fairness and accuracy in assessment, showing the CET Cell’s adherence to keeping the exam process fair.

As soon as the answer key is made available, candidates can view it on the official website. To access it, they need to first go to the portal and search for the “MHT CET 2025 Answer Key” link on the website’s homepage. By clicking on the link, candidates will be taken to the login page, where they need to enter their registered email ID and password, or their roll number and date of birth. Once logged in successfully, candidates will be taken to their dashboard, where they will be able to find links to download the answer key PDF as well as their own response sheet PDF. These papers are required for performance assessment and prediction of likely scores prior to the declaration of the actual result.

To predict their score, students can compare very carefully the answers they marked in the exam, as indicated on the response sheet, with the correct answers as contained in the official answer key. MHT CET has a simple marking system: one mark is given for every correct answer and no negative marking for wrong or unattempted questions. This makes the process of marking simple and ensures an equal chance for students to perform without fear of penalty for incorrect answers. After comparing answers and giving one mark for every correct answer, candidates can calculate their scores to approximate their performance in the exam.

It should be noted by students that this approximated score is not the final outcome but can act as an indicator of their position. The MHT CET 2025 official result is likely to be announced in June 2025. The answer key, meanwhile, provides a means of estimating the possibility of gaining admission to desired colleges and programs. Students may also file objections to the answer key if they find discrepancies or flaws. The CET Cell generally allows a short window for such objections, within which the students need to make their objections with suitable justification or evidence. The final results are declared after examining and settling all the objections to ensure accuracy and transparency in the evaluation process.

As thousands of students in Maharashtra hold their breath for their results, the answer key release is a crucial milestone in the admission process. It not just brings transparency on performance but also calms anxiety among candidates by giving them an idea of how they performed in one of the most important entrance exams of their academic life.

Finally, although the date for the release of the MHT CET 2025 answer key has not been announced yet, students are urged to visit the website regularly for information. Through downloading the answer key and response sheet, matching answers on the basis of the official marking scheme, and computing their likely scores, students can remain ahead of the game in the process of admissions. With results due in June, preparation, planning, and above all, remaining updated are key during this time.
