Hello,

An MBA entrance test called MHCET is held to admit students to Maharashtra management institutes. Numerous thousands of candidates take the test each year in hopes of receiving calls from the best B schools in the region. But because of this worldwide pandemic, fewer people are applying, particularly because most tests are now either being postponed or cancelled. But some students wonder how many times they may register for and take the MHCET exam.

Let's be realistic, then. It is undoubtedly impossible to apply for the exam hundreds of times. You will only get one attempt in total. You should put a lot of effort into your preparation if taking the MHCET will help you accomplish anything significant.

Good Luck!!
