Quick snapshot: What this guide covers
Who should read this: you, if you completed MAH MBA CET 2026 registration and are awaiting the intimation slip or Phase 2 admit card. The intimation slip is the immediate document you need to confirm your slot or exam details; the Phase 2 admit card is what you must carry to the test centre.
What to expect here: clear download steps, a pre-download checklist, exam-day items to carry, troubleshooting tips if login or download fails, and what typically happens after the exam. Where the portal has not given exact dates, this guide tells you how to track official updates.
Understanding the MAH MBA CET 2026 intimation slip
The intimation slip is the candidate-level notice issued through the CET candidate portal to confirm your test slot, city and other exam-related instructions. It is closely linked to the admit card: in some cycles the intimation slip appears first and is followed by the formal admit card for that phase.
Verifying your intimation slip early helps avoid last-minute problems on exam day. If details such as name, date of birth, category or city are incorrect, you can take steps to get them corrected before the exam — but only after checking the official CET portal for the prescribed correction process.
Checklist before you start: documents and credentials needed
Gather these before you attempt to download the intimation slip or Phase 2 admit card.
- Registration number or application ID and password. These are created during MAH MBA CET 2026 registration.
- Registered email and phone — you may receive OTPs or alerts here.
- Valid government photo ID in original and a clear photocopy to carry to the exam (options typically accepted: Aadhar card, PAN card, passport, driving licence, voter ID). The official portal lists acceptable IDs; follow that list.
- Recent passport-size photographs — carry a couple of spares as many centres ask for them during verification.
- A working printer or access to a printing service so you can produce at least two printed copies and keep a scanned copy in your phone/cloud.
Before you download, check the registered name, date of birth and category as shown on your profile in the candidate portal. If something is wrong, note that the correction path is handled by the CET authority — check the portal for instructions rather than assuming an on-the-spot change will be allowed.
Step-by-step: How to download the MAH MBA CET 2026 intimation slip and Phase 2 admit card
Follow these steps when the portal shows the intimation slip or admit card download link. The exact labels on the portal may vary, but the process is typically the same.
- Visit the official CET candidate login page from the Maharashtra CET portal. Use the login option marked for registered candidates.
- Log in with your registration number/application ID and password. If an OTP method is used, follow the OTP flow to complete login.
- After login, look for a link labelled "Intimation Slip", "Admit Card" or "Phase 2 Admit Card" in the dashboard. The portal may group these under a candidate information or downloads section.
- If slot booking applies, select your preferred Phase 2 slot or confirm the pre-assigned slot as prompted. Some cycles allow slot selection while others only show the assigned slot — follow the portal steps carefully.
- Preview the slip/admit card on screen. Confirm personal details, exam city, exam centre, date, shift/slot and reporting time as printed.
- Click the download/print button. Save a PDF copy and print at least two clear copies on A4 paper. Also save a scanned copy to your phone and cloud storage for quick access.
Make sure you read the printed instructions on the slip or admit card. The slip often contains reporting time, permitted items, instructions for biometric registration and contact points for discrepancies.
If you face issues while downloading
Login, OTP and download problems are common in any large exam cycle. These are practical steps you can try immediately:
- Forgot password or login failure: use the candidate portal's "Forgot Password" option. You will typically receive a password reset link or OTP on your registered email/phone.
- OTP not received: check your mobile network and spam folders in email. Try resending the OTP after a short wait. Use the same mobile number that you registered with.
- Browser or PDF problems: clear browser cache, try an alternate browser (Chrome/Edge/Firefox) or open the portal in an incognito/private window. Ensure your PDF reader is updated before opening the downloaded file.
- Printing errors: download the PDF and transfer it to a USB or email the file to yourself; then print from a cybercafe or a college print shop.
Who to contact if the problem persists: the CET authority’s helpdesk details and helpline are published on the official portal. Do not rely on unverified phone numbers on social media. When you write to the helpdesk, include your registration number, full name, mobile number and a clear description of the problem. Keep the email polite and concise — include a screenshot where relevant.
When to visit the test centre vs when to escalate: if your admit card shows a clear mismatch with your registered details, escalate through the CET portal helpline. Do not go to the test centre expecting on-the-spot corrections unless the official notice explicitly allows it. The test centre officials usually verify documents but cannot change registration data.
What to check on your downloaded slip/admit card
Inspect the following fields carefully once you download the slip or admit card:
- Personal details: name, date of birth, parent/guardian name (if printed), category and application/registration number.
- Exam details: date, shift/slot, reporting time, city and full address of the exam centre.
- Instructions: reporting time limits, biometric collection, items allowed and prohibited, dress code or any specific COVID-related norms if listed.
If you spot any discrepancy, check the official instructions for the correction window or helpline process. The CET authority usually provides a prescribed route for corrections; follow that rather than informal approaches.
Exam day essentials: documents, reporting time and dos & don’ts
Carry these to the centre on the exam day:
- Printed Phase 2 admit card or intimation slip (at least two copies).
- Original government photo ID you used during registration (Aadhar, PAN, passport, driving licence or voter ID). Bring a photocopy as well.
- Two recent passport-size photographs (the same as uploaded during application, where possible).
- A ballpoint pen and any items the admit card explicitly allows.
Follow the reporting time printed on your admit card. Centres typically start entry checks well before the exam start time to complete frisking and biometric formalities. Entry may close a fixed time before the exam begins — arrive early.
Dos and don’ts:
- Do carry the exact photo ID you registered with. Mismatched ID can lead to denial of entry.
- Do keep printed copies and a digital copy of the admit card on your phone.
- Don’t carry mobile phones, calculators, watches with smart features, study material or any electronic device not permitted by the admit card instructions.
- Don’t argue with centre staff; follow instructions and raise formal grievances with the CET authority if needed after the exam.

Practical tips and mistakes to avoid
- Download and print the intimation slip and admit card at least a few days before the exam. Printers and cybercafes get busy near deadlines.
- Keep multiple printed copies and a high-quality scanned copy in cloud storage for emergency access.
- Confirm the travel time and do a trial run to the exam centre if you are unfamiliar with the location. Road delays can cost you entry.
- Double-check the name and photo printed on the slip. If anything is smudged on the printout, reprint from a different printer.
- Do not rely on screenshots alone; always have the original downloaded PDF on your phone and at least one printed copy.
