MHT CET 2027 PCM & PCB Schedule Released, KL University KLEEE Admissions Open – What It Means

By the Shiksha Nerd Counselling Team · 19 September 2026 · ~4 min read

MHT CET 2027 has announced separate PCM and PCB exam dates, and KL University has opened its KLEEE 2027 admission portal. Here’s a practical guide for students and parents.

Two announcements landed on the same day: the Maharashtra Health and Technical (MHT) CET board released the 2027 paper schedule for both PCM (Physics‑Chemistry‑Maths) and PCB (Physics‑Chemistry‑Biology) streams, and KL University in Andhra Pradesh posted the full KLEEE (KL Engineering Entrance Examination) admission calendar, eligibility criteria and fee structure.

For a student in Maharashtra, the split schedule means you will sit for either the PCM or PCB paper on a day that the board has earmarked – the exact dates are on the official notification. For a Karnataka‑or‑nearby‑state aspirant eyeing KL University, the KLEEE portal is already live, listing the exam date, the last date to apply and the fee you must pay to secure a seat in one of its B.Tech programmes.

What changed in the MHT CET calendar?

Earlier editions of MHT CET often bundled all streams into a single exam day, forcing candidates to juggle maths and biology preparation simultaneously. This year’s notification separates the two, giving each stream its own slot. The practical upshot is a more focused study window: a PCM candidate can concentrate on problem‑solving without worrying about biology, while a PCB candidate can devote the same time to anatomy and physiology.

From a counsellor’s perspective, the change is a double‑edged sword. On the plus side, focused revision usually translates into higher scores. On the downside, the decision to pick a stream must be final well before the admit‑card is issued – there is no room for a last‑minute switch.

KL University’s KLEEE admission window – the essentials

KL University’s announcement lists the KLEEE exam date, the final application deadline, the minimum eligibility (50% aggregate in 12th grade for the general category, with a lower bar for reserved categories) and the fee that covers the test centre allocation and provisional counselling. The fee amount is detailed on the university’s portal; it is a single payment, not a recurring charge.

What matters most for parents is the timing. The application deadline is a hard cut‑off – miss it and you will have to sit out the 2027 intake. Moreover, the eligibility threshold is strictly enforced; students with marks below the cut‑off will be automatically filtered out, regardless of how well they perform in a mock test.

How these timelines intersect with other options

If you are also considering JEE Main or state‑level engineering exams in other states, note that MHT CET’s separate dates may clash with JEE Main’s single‑day schedule. A PCM candidate who plans to appear for both will need to manage two intensive preparation cycles in parallel, which can be exhausting.

Similarly, KL University’s KLEEE sits alongside national exams like JEE Main and JEE Advanced. The advantage of KLEEE is that it offers a direct route to KL’s campus, which boasts a strong placement record in the region. The trade‑off is that you forego the broader pool of colleges that JEE Main opens up. A counsellor would advise students with a clear preference for KL’s programmes to prioritise KLEEE, while those keeping their options wide should still sit for JEE Main.

Who should think twice before committing

Students who are still undecided between engineering and medical streams should be cautious. The split MHT CET schedule forces you to choose PCM or PCB now; switching later will mean a missed chance at the other stream’s seats. Likewise, candidates whose 12th‑grade scores hover just below the 50% threshold should weigh the risk of being disqualified from KLEEE against the possibility of improving their scores through a gap year.

Another group to watch out for are those from economically weaker sections who rely on fee concessions. Both MHT CET and KL University offer concessions, but the documentation process can be time‑consuming. If you cannot gather the required proofs before the deadlines, you may end up paying the full fee or missing the admission altogether.

What should you do now?

First, write down the PCM and PCB dates as soon as you download the MHT CET notification. Mark them in a calendar that you check daily.

Second, collect your 12th‑grade mark sheet, category certificate (if applicable) and a recent passport‑size photograph. Having these ready will smooth the KLEEE application process.

Third, log onto the KL University portal now and submit the KLEEE application before the last date – the system tends to slow down in the final hours.

Fourth, schedule at least two full‑length mock tests for your chosen MHT CET stream in the next two weeks, then spend a day analysing every mistake. The split schedule rewards depth over breadth.

Finally, stay alert for any last‑minute updates from the MHT CET board or KL University – a change in venue or a shift of the exam date will be posted on their official channels.

Frequently asked questions

Can I sit for both PCM and PCB in MHT CET 2027?

No. The board has issued separate dates for each stream, and you must select the one that matches your 12th‑grade subjects.

What is the exact fee for KLEEE?

The fee amount is listed on KL University’s admission portal; it is a one‑time payment covering the test centre and provisional counselling.

Are there fee concessions for EWS candidates?

Both MHT CET and KL University provide concessions for economically weaker sections, but the eligibility criteria and required documents are detailed only on their respective portals.
