CET Result 2025 What Students in India Need to Know (Dates, Scores, Counselling & Next Steps)

Every year thousands of students across India wait anxiously for “CET” — the Common (or Combined) Entrance Tests — whose results determine admission to professional courses (engineering, pharmacy, agriculture, medical allied, BEd, and more) and, in some states, recruitment to government posts. The year 2025 saw several major CET results announced at different times. This article summarises the key results, explains their significance, and tells students exactly what to do next. All dates, links and official sources are cited so you can verify your score and plan counselling or further steps.

Fast facts: major CET results in 2025 (dates & portals)

• MHT-CET (Maharashtra) — PCM group result declared June 16, 2025; PCB group result declared June 17, 2025. Candidates can download scorecards from the State CET Cell (Maharashtra) portal.
• KCET (Karnataka) — Result declared May 24, 2025. The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) hosted results and scorecards on the official CET portal.
• TS EAPCET / TG EAPCET (Telangana — also called EAPCET / EAMCET) — Result announced May 11, 2025. Candidates can check rank cards via the official eapcet portal.
• Haryana CET / HSSC CET Group-C (Recruitment) — Result declared December 2025 (Group-C Common Eligibility Test). The Haryana Staff Selection Commission published scorecards and qualifying lists on its official website.

Note: Many other states and universities run CETs (e.g., UP BEd, state-level PG/PG-diploma CETs). Always verify the specific CET you appeared for on the exam’s official website before acting.

Why these results matter (what’s at stake)

1. Admission to professional courses. Scores and ranks from state CETs are the primary basis for seat allocation in engineering, pharmacy, agriculture and allied courses in state-run and many private colleges. For example, the MHT-CET rank determines candidate eligibility for engineering (BE/BTech) counselling in Maharashtra.
2. Counselling and seat allotment. After results, authorities open online counselling/choice-filling windows; seats are allotted by merit, category and reservation rules. Missing deadlines can mean losing a seat. (See your CET cell’s counselling schedule.)
3. Merit lists & cut-offs. Scorecards indicate raw marks and percentile/rank; cut-offs for popular colleges can be much higher than qualifying marks. Tracking opening/closing ranks from previous years helps set realistic expectations.
4. Recruitment pathway (CET for jobs). Some CET-like exams (for example Haryana’s CET Group-C) function as eligibility tests for government recruitment rather than college admission; here results trigger the next recruitment stages (document verification, interviews).

How to check your CET result (step-by-step, general guide)

1. Use only the official portal for the CET you took (examples: mahacet.org for MHT-CET, cetonline.karnataka.gov.in or kea.kar.nic.in for KCET, eapcet.tgche.ac.in for TS EAPCET).
2. Keep your credentials ready — registration/roll number, hall ticket number, date of birth or password.
3. Download & save the scorecard as a PDF and take multiple printouts; you will need it for counselling or document verification.
4. Verify details (name, roll number, marks, category) immediately and report discrepancies to the CET cell within the stipulated time.
5. Watch official notices on the CET site for counselling dates, document lists and seat-matrix updates — these are legally binding.

Counselling: what to expect and timeline tips

• Registration for counselling: Most CETs open a separate online registration for counselling/seat-allotment. You must register even if you appeared earlier for exams.
• Choice filling & locking: After registration, you will be asked to select (and lock) course/college preferences. Choices must be locked before the technical deadline.
• Seat allotment rounds: There are usually multiple rounds (first allotment, second allotment, mop-up, spot admissions). Be careful: accepting a seat in an early round may affect eligibility for later rounds.
• Document verification & reporting: If allotted a seat, you will often need to physically (or virtually, per state rules) verify documents and pay fees within a short window. Missing this window may forfeit the seat.

Common post-result queries — answered

• Q: My scorecard shows a question marked wrong — can I request re-checking?
  A: Most CET authorities publish answer keys and allow representation/objection windows. After final key publication, result stands. Check the official notice for grievance procedures.
• Q: What if I miss counselling registration?
  A: Missing the registration deadline usually means you forfeit that round. Some authorities permit late or supplementary rounds — but don’t rely on that. Act fast.
• Q: How are ties resolved (same marks)?
  A: Tie-breaking rules vary by CET: some use higher marks in specific subjects, age, or aggregate marks. Check the CET brochure for the exact rule.

Tips for students (practical, immediately useful)

1. Download & print the scorecard right away and keep scanned copies.
2. Read the counselling schedule carefully and calendar all deadlines (registration, choice-filling, verification). Missing even one date can cost a seat.
3. Keep original documents (marksheets, ID, category certificates) ready and scanned; many authorities ask for both hard and soft copies.
4. Use official helpdesks (phone/email) listed on CET portals if you face login or verification problems.
5. Plan financials (tuition, hostel availability, scholarships) before accepting a seat — some admissions are provisional and require immediate fee payment.

Where to find official information (use these portals)

• Maharashtra State CET Cell (MHT-CET): mahacet.org — results, counselling schedules, seat matrix.
• Karnataka Examinations Authority (KCET): cetonline.karnataka.gov.in / kea.kar.nic.in — result & counselling details.
• Telangana EAPCET (TS EAMCET): eapcet.tgche.ac.in — rankcards & counselling.
• Haryana Staff Selection Commission (CET Group-C recruitment): hssc.gov.in / state notification pages.

Always cross-check notices on the official CET portal for your state or the recruiting authority.

Final word: act fast, stay calm, and plan

CET results open the door to college admissions, scholarships and careers — but the window to convert a good score into a confirmed seat is short and procedural. Download your scorecard immediately, follow the official counselling instructions from the CET cell that conducted your exam, prepare required documents, and plan both academic and financial steps before accepting a seat.
