    3 deemed universities in Maharashtra to be de-recognized

    January 19th, 2010

    On 19 Jan 2010, the HRD Ministry has decided to de-recognize 44 deemed universities across the country, 3 out of the 44 entities are located in Maharashtra. Atleast 2 of them, namely Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences, Satara and D Y Patil Medical College, Kolhapur are involved in medical/dental education. Lack of adequate facilities and infrastructure has been cited as the reason towards this step. Education of students enrolled in medical or dental courses will not be affected by this move as the colleges have been advised to affiliate with the State university. Another 44 deemed universities whose names have not been disclosed have been asked to take measures to make good the deficiencies within a period of three years.

    MHT-CET 2010 is not canceled

    August 4th, 2009

    This post is just to clarify that MHT-CET 2010 has not been canceled.Back in Feb 2009, Govt. had proposed to abolish MHT-CET – the common entrance examination for admissions to health science, engineering and pharmacy courses. At that time, it was clarified that MHT-CET 2009 and MHT-CET 2010 will be conducted, and if MHT-CET is to be scrapped, it will be only from MHT-CET 2011 onwards. It also formed a study panel to look into ways to scrap the CET. However, the study panel has not found any route to abolish the MHT-CET examination.

    10 minutes extra time for each paper at MHT-CET

    April 2nd, 2009

    Maharashtra Govt. has decided to extend each paper(physics-chemistry, biology, mathematics) by 10 mins. This decision was taken after an representation which highlighted that time alloted in MHT-CET in less than that compared in common  entrance tests(CET) in other state.

    Also, the CET fee has been curtailed by Rs. 200/-. Thus, common category candidates now pay Rs. 700/- and reserved category candidates pay Rs. 500/-. This decision is expected to reduce the financial burden over the students(why didn’t they think about this while sanctioning 9 textbooks for biology?)

    Note: This is an old news originally reported on Feb 9, 2009. We are publishing it today because we were looking for an multiple reliable sources, such as Times of India, Hindustan Times, DNA, Loksatta, etc. which duly report such amendments. We could also not find any related notification on the official site of DMER which is responsible for conducting MHT-CET. The only source we found was a vernacular Marathi newspaper “Sakal“. Please find the entry here.

    March 29th, 2009

    DNA has reported that DMER has amended the MHT-CET examination pattern. Now, there will be a 30 minute break(instead of 10 mins) between physics-chemistry and biology paper. This has been implemented to avoid negligence such as collection of answer sheets before time, etc. However, there is no such notification of the official website of DMER at the time of publishing this.

    65% of top 1000 rankers in medicine MHT-CET are repeaters

    March 26th, 2009

    DMER has revealed that 654 in the top 1000 rankers of MHT-CET 2008 (med) were repeaters. Repeaters are students who have earlier been unsuccessful in making to a making college through MHT-CET. This information was disclosed by DMER in support of its proposal to limit the no. of attempts at MHT-CET examination to 3 till 25 yrs. of age[Jan 2009].

    It is surprising that the figure is so high at 65% considering that there was a major change-over in syllabus. It may also be noted that under MHT-CET’s tie-breaking rules, older candidates may be ranked higher than younger candidates with the same grand total. There are a no. of factors that work in favour of repeaters most valuable being surplus availability of time as they do not have to prepare for H.S.C. and MHT-CET tie breaking rules.
