MHT CET PCM 2nd Attempt Response Sheet 2026 (OUT) LIVE: Answer Key Link; Good Score and PertcentileMHT CET PCM 2nd Attempt Response Sheet 2026: The State Common Entrance Test of Maharashtra has released the PCM 2nd Attempt response sheet along with the answer key today, May 28. The 2nd attempt at the PCM exam was conducted from May 12 to 21, and the response sheets are usually released 7-10 days after the exam. However, CET Cell has taken a different route this year with regard to the timelines. The 1st attempt PCM and PCB results are still awaited, and the response sheets for the same were released after the commencement of the 2nd attempt exam. These unusual timelines this year have been confusing students. Therefore, the timeline for result announcement couldf be slightly unpredictable.
