Hurry! MAH 5-Year LLB CET 2024 Registration Closes Tomorrow; Aspiring Law Students Apply!

The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test Cell is set to close the registration process for the MAH LLB 5-year CET tomorrow, February 18. Aspiring law students aiming to pursue their legal education in government, aided, and unaided colleges offering 5-year LLB courses in Maharashtra must submit their MAH LLB application form on the official website, cetcell.mahacet.org, before the deadline.

Scheduled for May 3, the MAH 5-year LLB CET exam 2024 will take place at various centres across the state. Eligibility criteria mandate that candidates must have completed class 12 or equivalent with a minimum aggregate of 45% for open category, 42% for OBC students from Maharashtra, and 40% for SC and ST candidates.

Candidates with higher secondary pass certificates earned through distance or correspondence courses are eligible to apply. However, those who obtained 10+2 qualifications directly from the open university system without any foundational qualification are ineligible.

The categorywise registration fees are as follows

• Open and EWS candidates, Outside Maharashtra State (OMS), all India candidates across all categories, and J-K migrant candidates: ₹1,000
• Other Backward Class Categories (SC, ST, VJ/DT- NT (A), NT-1 (B), NT-2(C), NT-3(D), OBC, and SBC): ₹800
• Orphan and transgender candidates: ₹800

Regarding application fees, the CET Cell will close the fee window by midnight tomorrow, February 18.

As it stands, there's presently no age limit for applicants to the 5-year LLB course. However, an impending amendment based on a Supreme Court order could change this. Should the amendment be enacted, the age limit for open and EWS category candidates might be set at 20 years, and for SC and ST candidates from Maharashtra, it could be 22 years as of July 1, 2024.
