Maharashtra: ‘Engineering CET from September 4; colleges may reopen soon

PUNE: The state CET cell will conduct an online Common Entrance Test (CET) for admissions to undergraduate courses in engineering and technology, pharmacy and agriculture faculties in two phases. The first phase of engineering CET will be held from September 4 to 10 and the second from September 14 to 20.

After making the announcement on Wednesday, state higher and technical education minister Uday Samant said colleges can reopen in the upcoming academic year in places with low Covid-19 positivity rate after consultations with district collectors.

The minister also announced there would be no CET for students seeking admission to degree colleges after Class XII. The state has given exemption to autonomous colleges, though, to decide whether to conduct a CET or not, without causing any delay in the admission process. Meanwhile, Samant also announced the dates for other CETs.
