MHT-CET was held in two phases: PCB from April 9–17 and PCM from April 19–May 5. Over 2.8 lakh candidates had appeared for the PCB group exam, while over 4.2 lakh took the PCM exam.
As many as 40 questions were found to be erroneous across 28 sessions of the computer-based MHT-CET exam. The CET Cell has already declared that this will be taken into consideration during the evaluation of the papers.
Other prominent CETs include those for five and three-year LLB courses, which will be out on June 4 and June 17, respectively. Approximately a little over a lakh candidates appeared for the two entrance tests combined. All students who have cleared Class XII are eligible to apply for the LLB five-year course, whereas only graduates can apply for the three-year course.
The CET results for admissions to B.BCA/BBA/BMS/BBM are expected on June 4. This is only the second year after the Maharashtra government introduced CET for admission to these courses last year. This decision was taken after they were brought under the purview of the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE).

Pune: Following rising complaints on excess fees charged by colleges, the Maharashtra Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell on Saturday started an online mechanism for students seeking admission to professional courses in the academic year 2025–26. Following complaints on excess fees charged by colleges, Maharashtra CET Cell on Saturday started online mechanism for students seeking admission to professional courses in 2025–26. ((PIC FOR REPRESENTATION)) The decision comes after allegations that certain private institutes are flouting Fees Regulatory Authority (FRA) rules, often under misleading names such as 'maintenance fee', or 'lab maintenance charges'. According to a CET Cell official, students and parents report being pressured into paying additional amounts in order to secure or maintain admission. In some cases, students eligible for fee reimbursement under government schemes are charged the full amount, with no refunds provided later. 'CET Cell has implemented a dual-mode complaint system. Students can either call a helpline or can file a formal grievance online. No action will be taken on verbal complaints alone. Students must submit proof, such as fee receipts, notices, or written communication from the institution that reflects the excess amount collected,' the official said, adding that the complaint helpline will operate on working days between 10am and 6pm at 7700919894. Students can register complaints with details through the official CET portal

State warns colleges against overcharging students with fee
The Department of Higher and Technical Education has directed all private and unaided professional colleges in the state not to collect full course fees from students eligible for government scholarships. It issued a government circular on August 12, stating that educational institutions must deduct the scholarship amount sanctioned by the government while charging tuition and other fees. Colleges have been warned of strict legal action under Section 20 of the Maharashtra Unaided Private Professional Educational Institutions (Regulation of Admissions and Fees) Act, 2015, if they fail to comply. (REPRESENTATIVE PHOTO) Colleges have been warned of strict legal action under Section 20 of the Maharashtra Unaided Private Professional Educational Institutions (Regulation of Admissions and Fees) Act, 2015, if they fail to comply. As per the directive, students admitted under the centralised admission process conducted by the Directorate of Technical Education and state CET Cell who are eligible for scholarships through schemes available on the MahaDBT portal, should only be charged the remaining balance after accounting for the government-sanctioned amount. 'Colleges have been instructed not to collect the entire fee from such students, as it violates both legal provisions and the purpose of the scholarship schemes,' an education department official. The move comes in response to an increasing number of complaints received by the department, where several institutions were allegedly found demanding full fees from scholarship beneficiaries, despite their eligibility for fee waivers or reimbursements. 'It has been observed that certain institutions are charging more than the fee approved by the Fee Regulatory Authority. Such acts amount to profiteering and will be treated as a punishable offence,' the official said. To ensure transparency, colleges have also been instructed to clearly display the approved course-wise fee structure on their official website and notice board in both Marathi and English. They are also barred from collecting fees beyond the current academic year. Institutions found violating the rules will face punitive action for 'profiteering', a term the law strictly prohibits in the context of educational services. To facilitate reporting of violations, the CET Cell will soon publish helpline numbers and a complaint portal on its official website.
