Who can apply for MAH BCA BBA BMS BBM CET 2027?
You can take the CET if you are an Indian citizen who has passed Class 12 or an equivalent exam, or is appearing for it in 2027. The rules below are from the 2026 brochure.
- For BCA, BBA, BMS and BBM, your Class 12 result must meet the admission rules of the university the college is affiliated to. The CET itself sets no minimum percentage for these courses.
- The 45% aggregate rule (40% for Maharashtra reserved, EWS and PwD candidates) applies to B.HMCT and M.HMCT (Integrated), not to BCA or BBA.
- Candidates from outside Maharashtra (OMS) and J&K migrants can also apply.
- If your board gives grades or CGPA, the percentage is worked out by the board’s own conversion method.
What is the MAH BCA BBA BMS BBM CET 2027 exam pattern?

Because the test runs in several sessions, raw scores are normalised and the result is given as a percentile. The MAH BCA BBA BMS BBM CET syllabus lists the topics in each section.
How are BCA, BBA, BMS and BBM seats filled after the CET?
Seats are filled through the Centralised Admission Process (CAP) run by State CET Cell, with separate portals for BCA and for BBA, BMS and BBM. You register for CAP after the result, check the merit list, fill an option form and accept the seat allotted to you.
In 2026 Maharashtra candidates could join CAP with a non-zero score in this CET or in MHT-CET 2026, and all-India candidates could also use CUET (UG) scores, with CUET given preference. Check the 2027 CAP brochure, as these rules are set each year.
