MHT CET 2026 PCM Session 2 City Intimation Slip Released: What You Need to Know

If you're sitting for the MHT CET 2026 PCM Session 2, there's something you need to check right away. The State Common Entrance Test Cell Maharashtra released the city intimation slip on May 5, 2026. This slip tells you which city you'll be writing your exam in.

Now, before you start panicking about whether you got your admit card yet, hold on. The city intimation slip is not your admit card. Think of it as a heads up. It's the CET Cell's way of giving you time to sort out your travel and accommodation before the actual exam date.

Why This Slip Matters

You might wonder why you need to know your exam city so early. The answer is simple. If your exam centre is in a different city, you need time to book tickets, find a place to stay, and plan your journey. You don't want to scramble at the last minute trying to figure out how you'll get there.

The MHT CET PCM Session 2 exams start on May 12 and run through May 16, 2026. That gives you about a week from the slip release to get everything in order. The admit cards will be available on May 8, which is just three days before the exam begins.

How to Download Your City Slip

The process is straightforward. Head over to the official CET Cell website at cetcell.mahacet.org. Look for the link that says MHT CET 2026 city intimation slip. Make sure you select the PCM group option.

You'll need to log in using your registered email ID and password. Once you're in, your city slip will be right there. Download it and take a printout. Keep this printout handy because you'll need to refer to it while planning your trip.

What Happens Next

Once you have your city slip, the next document you'll need is your admit card. This will be available from May 8. The admit card contains your exact exam centre address, your roll number, and other details you'll need on exam day.

For students appearing in the PCB group, the exams are scheduled earlier on May 10 and 11, 2026. So if you have friends or classmates in that group, they'll be done before you even start.

Planning Your Journey

If your exam city is far from where you live, start looking at transport options now. Check bus timings, train schedules, or if you're flying, look at flight availability. Book early if you can. Prices tend to go up as the date gets closer.

For accommodation, consider staying close to where most exam centres are usually located in that city. This reduces travel time on exam day and helps you stay calm. Ask seniors or check online forums to get an idea of where centres are typically set up.

Don't Skip This Step

Some students make the mistake of waiting for the admit card to start planning. That's cutting it too close. The city slip exists for a reason. Use this window to prepare properly. Check your documents, pack your stationery, and make sure you know the route to your exam centre once the admit card is out.

Also, keep checking the official website for any updates or changes. The CET Cell might post important notices that you don't want to miss.

Stay Calm and Prepared

Exam season can feel overwhelming, but taking things one step at a time helps. Right now, your step is to download that city slip and plan your travel. Once that's sorted, you can focus on your revision without the stress of last minute arrangements.

Make sure your email ID and password are working before you try to log in. If you face any issues accessing the website, try at different times of the day when server traffic might be lower. If problems persist, contact the CET Cell helpline for support.

The MHT CET is an important exam, and you've put in the work to prepare for it. Don't let logistical issues throw you off track. Download your city slip today, make your plans, and walk into that exam hall with confidence.
