The last date of late registration for MAHCET 2015 now stands extended till 5 PM on Tuesday March 3, 2015
Number of candidates could not either register or pay the registration fee on account of technical issues in the online registration process making DTE extend the last date

Providing yet another opportunity to register and apply for MAHCET 2015 for admission to MBA/MMS 2015-17 batch, DTE Maharashtra has extended the facility of late registration for one more day. Accordingly the last date of late registration for MAHCET 2015 now stands extended till 5 PM on Tuesday March 3, 2015. If you skipped and couldn’t register for MAHCET 2015 till March 2, 2015 you could avail this opportunity. There may not be any further extension in last date of registration for MAHCET 2015.

 

Extension due to technical glitches

 

As shared by MBAUniverse.com earlier, candidates who preferred waiting till 5 PM on March 2, 2015, the last minute before which registration for MAHCET 2015 was supposed to be closed, got caught in various types of technical problems due to heavy rush for registration on its site. Number of candidates could not either register or pay the registration fee on account of  technical issues in the online registration process making DTE extend the last date. Number of e-mails, phone calls to DTE Maharashtra compelled it to extend the last date of registration for yet another day.  http://www.mbauniverse.com/article/id/8409/MAH-CET-2015

 

Registration opened a fortnight ago

 

Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) Maharashtra, the MAHCET 2015 conducting authority opened the Registration and Application process for MAHCET 2015 for admission to MBA/MMS 2015-17 batch on Feb 18, 2015. The regular process without payment of late registration fee was closed at 5 PM on Feb 27, 2015.

 

The facility for late registration was provided to the candidates who could not register and apply till Feb 27, 2015. Late registration facility with an additional fee of Rs 1000/- was opened on Feb 28 and with an extended last date is proposed to close today on March 3, 2015 at 5 PM.

 

Apply now: Avoid 5 PM deadline

 

It is very much expected that the last minute rush might again create technical glitches. There may not be any reprieve now as DTE Maharashtra is in no mood to further extend the last date of registration. You may not complete the registration process when thousands of the candidates visit the DTE registration site altogether.  

 

If you wish to apply, do it as early as possible and preferably at least 2-3 hours before the closing time of registration for MAHCET 2015 to avoid last minute technical problems. It wouldn’t take you more than 15 minutes while registering and applying for MAHCET 2015.

 

Avoidable mistakes

 

A few simple tips will keep you away from committing the common mistakes that candidates have been making while filling up the application for MAHCET 2015

 

Academic Profile: Not required for registration

 

MAHCET 2015 application form has not asked for the scores of your entrance exam like CAT/XAT/CMAT/MAT. Completing the Registration form for  MAHCET 2015 will entitle you to appear in the MAHCET 2015 exam.

 

At present your registration is only for the MAHCET 2015 exam and not for the next step of admission round CAP which will be held after declaration of MAHCET 2015 result. Before the beginning of CAP 2015, DTE Maharashtra will ask for all your entrance exam scores as well as the academic details.

 

Select the correct Category

 

This field in the online application form has 10 specified categories namely OPEN/ST/SC/ VJDT-NT(A)/NT(B)/NT(C)/NT(D)/OBC/SBC/OMS.

 

The confusion arises between ‘Open’ and ‘OMS’ categories. While OPEN is mentioned as the first category OMS is the last category to be selected through the drop down menu. Candidates of Outside Maharashtra (OMS) category should choose only ‘OMS’ and not ‘Open’ category.

 

Category- ‘OPEN’: This is only for Open (General) category candidates belonging to Maharashtra state (MS). Hence only MS candidates of open category should choose ‘OPEN’ category.

 

Please remember No ‘MS’candidate from SC/ST/OBC/VJDT/SBC /NT(B)/NT(C)/NT(D) categories should fill up Open category.

 

Category-Reserved: SC ST OBC VJDT SBC NT(B) NT(C) NT(D)

 

This category is also for Maharashtra State candidates only. Before filling up the application form, candidate should ensure that they have Caste/Tribe Certificate/Validity for SC/ST/OBC/VJDT/SBC /NT(B)/NT(C)/NT(D) categories and Non Creamy Layer (NCL) Certificate for OBC/SBC/VJDT/NT1/NT(B)/NT(C).

 

Category-OMS: All outside Maharashtra State (OMS) Candidates who do not fall into any types of Maharashtra State category candidature should choose OMS only. If you are an OMS candidate belonging to any of the reserved category even, you are supposed to choose OMS category.

 

In no case an ‘OMS’ candidate should select ‘Open’ or any of the reserved categories.

 

Exam cities: Choose 3 preferred ones

 

MAHCET 2015 for admission to MBA/MMS 2015-17 batch is proposed to be conducted in 61 cities across the country on March 14 & 15, 2015 in multiple sessions. The application form has the facility to fill up 3 preferred city choices to appear in the exam.

 

For Maharashtra state candidates there are plenty of test centres. OMS candidates can also choose the most preferred 3 exam cities in Maharashtra out of many available. However for OMS candidates planning to appear at the exam centre outside Maharashtra, state capitals of prominent states are the only available options.

 

Number of states do not have any exam centres. Candidates have to choose the 3 most preferred exam centres which are most close to their native or working place.

 

There is no exam centre in any of the 7 North East (NE) states nor the states of Andhra Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Odisha, Telangana, Tamilnadu Uttarakhand, have any exam centre for MAHCET 2015. A candidate from NE states or Odisha has to choose Kolkata; from all southern states has to choose Bangalore and Panaji; from Himachal has to choose Delhi and Srinagar (J&K); from Uttarakhand has to choose Delhi and Lucknow. The selection has to be judiciously made.

 

It is advised to select the most nearby exam centres as the 3 most preferred choices. If you have faster Rail or road link to the cities of Maharashtra and the journey is not so tiring, the choice of cities in Maharashtra can also be explored according to your convenience.
