MAH MBA CET Fees 2027

The MAH MBA CET exam fee is the application processing charge you pay to register for the Maharashtra MBA/MMS Common Entrance Test. The fee depends on your category, Maharashtra State status and the number of attempts you select. Check the fee rules before you submit the application form.

The official fee for the 2027 exam has not been announced as of October 25, 2026. The latest published 2026 brochure lists ₹1,500 for Open category candidates from Maharashtra, Outside Maharashtra State candidates and Jammu and Kashmir migrant candidates. Eligible reserved-category candidates belonging to Maharashtra State, along with specified other categories, pay ₹1,300. See the MAH MBA CET registration page for the form steps.

The State Common Entrance Test Cell, Maharashtra, publishes the application fee in the exam information brochure. The 2027 brochure has not been released in the official information reviewed for this page, so the final fee structure is unconfirmed.

The table shows the latest confirmed fee structure and the current status for 2027.

The fee reduction for reserved categories applies only to the categories and candidates named in the official brochure. Your caste category alone does not qualify you for the lower fee if the Maharashtra State condition is not met.

What is the MAH MBA CET exam fee for both attempts?

The 2026 exam allowed candidates to choose one or both attempts. The brochure listed separate total charges for the first attempt only and for both attempts. Use the total shown for your selected attempt or attempts. Registering for both attempts does not cost the same as registering for one.

These are the confirmed amounts from the 2026 information brochure. The 2027 fee structure has not been announced. The 2027 form may update the choices or fee rules. Check the official information brochure and the payment page before you complete the form.

The official MAH MBA CET exam fee 2027 has not been announced. So the 2026 fee structure is the confirmed reference for planning your registration.

A December 2025 study outlined a plan to increase entrance exam fees in Maharashtra by 10% per year. If the MAH MBA/MMS CET fee increases by 10% in 2027, the amounts would be as below. These are illustrative calculations, not fees announced by the State CET Cell.

Do not treat the 2027 figures as confirmed charges. The annual increase reported in secondary coverage does not replace the official 2027 fee notification. Check the new information brochure before you pay.
