And if it's allowed i will be having 2 marksheets pcb 2024 and maths 2027 with this will i be eligible for engineering clg admissions through mhtcet??? I am really scared and stressed please do answer my query please sirrr

Ans: Hello Human

You are eligible for engineering admission in 2025, provided you must clear the state engineering entrance test with the required score. In the past, many students did the same exercise successfully. Now, focus more on mathematics.

Ans: Hello dear.
You can appear for isolated maths and also appear for MHTCET - PCM. Yes, you will be eligible to get admission in engineering.
Good luck!

Ans: You can appear for the Maharashtra HSC isolated (additional subject) Mathematics examination in February–March 2026 to fulfil the PCM eligibility for MHT-CET. The Board will issue you a separate HSC marksheet for Mathematics, which along with your original PCB marksheet is accepted by the CET Cell and during CAP counselling; candidates routinely present one marksheet for 2023 PCB and one for 2026 Mathematics without issue. Once you secure a non-zero PCM score in MHT-CET 2026 (≥45% in PCM subjects for general, 40% for reserved), you will be eligible for B.Tech admissions—including CSE—at premier Maharashtra colleges (COEP, VJTI, etc.), provided you achieve the closing percentiles (CSE at COEP closes above ~99.7; VJTI above ~99.8). You need not repeat your entire Class 12; appearing only for Mathematics via the Maharashtra Board’s isolated exam suffices.

Alternate solutions include:

Electing NIOS On-Demand Examination for Mathematics alone, which also issues a single-subject pass certificate accepted for MHT-CET eligibility.

Re-enrolling in PCMB (through open schooling or a private HSC school) to sit all PCB/PCM subjects together for a fresh consolidated marksheet. Register for the Maharashtra Board’s isolated Maths exam in early 2026 alongside PCM-group MHT-CET; this dual-marksheet approach is standard practice and will keep you on track for COEP/VJTI CSE admission. If flexibility or single-subject convenience is preferred, consider the NIOS On-Demand Maths option. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Ans: Hello dear.
Here is the pointwise reply to your questions: (1) The Maharashtra HSC Board allows isolated subject improvement like Maths. Once you clear it, you'll be eligible for MHT CET (PCM). (2) Will having two separate mark sheets cause problems? - No, it won’t be an issue. During CAP counselling, you can submit your 2023 HSC PCB marksheet and your 2026 Maths marksheet. They are accepted together for eligibility as long as all subjects are cleared from a recognized board (MSBSHSE). (3) You can get admission to top colleges like COEP or VJTI if and only if you clear Maths (HSC) and score high in MHT CET PCM. (4) There is no need to repeat the full 12th via NIOS. Just appearing for Maths as an isolated subject from the Maharashtra board is enough. Our final suggestions are as follows: (a) prepare seriously for HSC Maths (2026), (b) focus on MHT CET PCM 2026, (c) you’re eligible for engineering admissions once both are cleared, and (d) avoid NIOS unless you want to change all subjects (which is not necessary in your case).
Good luck!
