The Maharashtra State Board of Technical Education (MSBTE) has released the Winter 2026 examination datesheet for students enrolled in various diploma, post-diploma and other technical education programmes. The timetable is available through the official MSBTE website, msbte.ac.in, and includes course-wise and paper-wise examination details.

According to the latest schedule, the MSBTE Winter 2026 theory examinations will be conducted from November 17 to December 9, 2026. Practical examinations will begin earlier for some students, with practical tests for students other than those in the first semester starting from October 21, 2026. Practical examinations for first-semester and first-year students are scheduled to begin from November 2, 2026.
The Winter 2026 datesheet contains examination information based on individual programmes and papers. Students should check their specific course and semester rather than relying only on the broad examination window.
| Examination | Date |
| Practical exams - students other than first semester | From October 21, 2026 |
| Practical exams - first semester/first year | From November 2, 2026 |
| Theory examinations | November 17 to December 9, 2026 |
The datesheet includes details such as course or programme code, subject code, subject name, examination date, day and examination timing or shift. Students should cross-check all these details before making their examination plans.
Practical examinations will start before the theory papers. Students in semesters other than the first semester are scheduled to begin their practical examinations from October 21. For first-semester and first-year students, practical examinations will start from November 2.
Students should confirm their individual practical schedule with their respective institutions because practical examination arrangements may depend on the programme and institute. They should also keep records, assignments and other required practical materials ready before the scheduled examination.
The theory examination window will run from November 17 to December 9, 2026. Since the schedule varies according to course and paper, candidates must identify their relevant subject code and examination date in the official timetable.
Students can use the datesheet to organise their preparation, complete revision for each subject and allocate sufficient time between consecutive examinations. The Board advises students to rely on the timetable published through the official MSBTE website for the final schedule.
Students can access the timetable online by following these steps:
1. Visit the official MSBTE website at msbte.ac.in.
2. Go to the Examination section.
3. Select the "Exam Time Table W26" option.
4. Choose the relevant search category.
5. Search the timetable using options such as institute-wise, course-wise, day-wise or paper code-wise details.
6. Select the required timetable.
7. Download the MSBTE Winter 2026 datesheet.
8. Save or print a copy for future reference.
After downloading the timetable, students should verify their course code, semester, subject code, subject name, examination date and shift timing. Checking these details carefully can help prevent confusion, particularly for students appearing for multiple papers.
Students should also keep checking the MSBTE website for any revised timetable or additional instructions. The official MSBTE homepage currently lists the Winter 2026 timetable as a tentative examination timetable, so candidates should watch for subsequent updates.
The MSBTE Winter 2026 examinations will therefore begin with practical assessments in October, followed by practical examinations for first-year students and then the theory examination period from November 17 to December 9. Students should download the course-specific timetable and plan their preparation accordingly.
