Mumbai: Even as the nationwide protests against the National Testing Agency (NTA) over alleged malpractices in NEET UG 2024 and UGC NET 2024 continue unabated, students are now alleging irregularities in MHT CET 2024 results.
MHT CET Entrance
MHT CET is conducted online (computer based test) by the Maharashtra CET Cell for admission in first year engineering, medical, pharmacy and other undergraduate courses.
While MHT CET PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Maths) score is used for admission in engineering, MHT CET PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) score is used for admission in medical, pharmacy and paramedical courses.
A total of 725,052 candidates from Maharashtra and outside had registered for this year's entrance for PCM and PCB both.
Of them, 675,377 students - 295,577 in PCM and 379,80 in PCB, appeared for the exams held in April / May, 2024.
MHT CET Answer Key was published on May 21. The result along with Toppers/Merit List was announced on June 16, 2024.
54 errors in question papers
The candidates now alleged that there were serious discrepancies in the MHT CET 2024 Answer Keys and the entrance test result.
Standing on behalf of the students, senior Shiv Sena leader Aaditya Thackeray while referring to 54 errors in question papers identified by students, questioned the competence of those responsible for the conduct of the exam.
Thackeray also demanded an inquiry into the alleged irregularities in the exam and suspension of the commissioner of the CET cell.
MHT CET Counselling 2024
Thackeray also demanded a temporary stay on the admission and counselling process till the issue is resolved to the satisfaction of all stakeholders.
Meanwhile, the Maharashtra CET Cell is yet to publish the MHT CET Engineering, Medical and Pharmacy counselling schedule for the year 2024-25.
The CET cell normally starts CAP based admission counselling soon after the MHT CET results are announced. The CET Cell however is so far silent of the counselling dates.
NEET UG 2024 Re-exam demand
In the related development, the Supreme Court of India has once again refused to stay the NEET UG 2024 counselling. The Ministry of Education had earlier submitted in the apex court that NEET UG 2024 counselling will start from July 06, 2024.
Amidst all the furore against the entrance exams, the National Testing Agency in a sudden decision postponed CSIR UGC NET June 2024 exam.
The cancellation of CSIR UGC NET 2024 exam came days after the Ministry of Education cancelled UGC NET 2024 a day after the NTA claimed it was held successfully.
Meanwhile, students demanding re-exam of NEET UG 2024 continue to hit the streets, alongside fighting legal battles.
