Is there a MAH B.Planning CET 2027 exam?
No. The State CET Cell does not hold any entrance test called the B.Planning CET. Under the 2026-27 information brochure, B.Planning seats are filled on JEE Main Paper 2B (B.Planning) scores first. Seats left vacant go to candidates with an MHT CET score, then to D.Voc pass-outs, and finally on Class 12 marks.
So to get a B.Planning seat in Maharashtra in 2027, you need to appear for JEE Main 2027 Paper 2B or MHT CET 2027, and then register separately for the B.Planning CAP. Both exams have their own application forms, admit cards and results; nothing is issued for B.Planning alone.
