Required Documents for MHT CET 2026 Registration
To register for MHT CET 2026, candidates must prepare a few key documents. The most important documents include an updated Aadhaar card and an APAAR ID. Special documents are also needed for candidates with disabilities.
Aadhaar Card Details
Your Aadhaar card (issued by UIDAI) needs to be up-to-date. Students must check and correct any information that is not current. Make sure the following details on your Aadhaar card match your official records, especially your Class 10 certificate:
- Your Name
- Your Date of Birth (must match Class 10 certificate)
- Your Latest Photograph
- Your Address
- Your Father's Name
- A Mobile Number linked to your Aadhaar. This number must be active and updated, as it will be used for important communications and verification.
If any of these details are old or incorrect, students must update them on their Aadhaar card before applying for MHT CET 2026. This step is critical for successful registration and verification.
APAAR ID
Along with an updated Aadhaar card, all candidates must also have an APAAR ID . The APAAR ID is a unique student ID number. It helps keep all your academic records in one place. Students should ensure they generate or have their APAAR ID ready before the application process begins.
Documents for Candidates with Disabilities (PwD)
Candidates who fall under the Persons with Disability (PwD) category need to submit additional documents. These include:
- Your Disability Certificate
- A Unique Disability ID (UDID Card) . This is a special ID card for persons with disabilities.
- Scribe Details : If a PwD candidate requires help from a scribe (someone to write the exam for them) due to their disability, they must also provide the details of their scribe.
These documents are important for PwD candidates to get the necessary support during the examination process.
