MUMBAI: The state’s CET cell launched the registration process for the entrance test for MBA/MMS courses on Tuesday evening.
The application process for courses such as law, B.Ed and others is likely to follow.
Dates are yet to be announced for any of the exams, including MHT-CET, as at least 10 districts in the state are still under level 3 of lockdown-like restrictions.
The delay in entrance exams in the state as well as national entrance exams – NEET and JEE – has made students anxious.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) is yet to start the registration process for NEET.
The registration process for MBA/MMS CET will go on till July 17.
The process for MHT-CET, which saw over five lakh registrations last year, is on till mid-July with late fee.
A CET cell official said they will be ready with all the pre-test processes and can schedule the exams whenever the Covid situation improves in the state.
“Finalising the dates at this point will be challenging as at least 10 districts are yet to fully recover from the second wave.
JEE (Main) and NEET dates are yet to be announced and we will have to consider those dates to avoid clashes,” he said.
MHT-CET is also taken by students from other states and the situation in those states will also have to be taken into account, he added.
A principal of a management college said the test could have been conducted in March itself like every year, while professor Rajesh Srivastava from Sydenham Institute of Management said it is good the admission process is set in motion, but the notification could have come a bit earlier.
