Now that the MHT-CET 2022 result has been declared, the authorities will conduct online MHT-CET counselling for those who qualify. Candidates have to participate in the process to be considered for admission based on the MHT-CET 2022 results.

This year's tests for the PCM and PCB groups were held from August 5 to August 11 and August 12 to August 20 respectively. The tests were administered online using computer-based testing.

Multiple students were unable to appear for the exams, either because of technical difficulties at testing centres or excessive rain and flooding in their area, necessitating the scheduling of a re-examination. In light of this, the State Common Entrance Test Cell in Maharashtra held a re-examination for the affected students on August 28. Candidates were informed that if they registered for the re-examination, their second score would be taken into consideration, regardless of which was higher.
