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“.
