State to conduct second CET, colleges worried about delay in academic year
Mumbai: The state government's decision on Friday to hold a second Common Entrance Test (CET) for professional undergraduate courses like Bachelors of Business Administration (BBA), Bachelors of Arts (BA), Bachelors of Management Studies (BMS), Bachelors of Mass Media (BMM) and Bachelors of Computer Applications (BCA) has triggered concerns of delaying academic year due to another round of CET, among parents and college principals. The move comes after only 61,666 students appeared for the CET this year, conducted between April 29 and 30, whereas there are over 1,08,000 seats available across the professional undergraduate programmes in the state. With such a large shortfall in applicants, many colleges fear that a significant number of seats could remain vacant this academic year. After the poor response from the students for CET, the management of various colleges approached the state government to hold one more round of CET to fill the vacant seats. Chandrakant Patil, minister of higher and technical education, announced the second CET on Friday for the students who missed the first CET. However, this fresh round of testing is expected to take at least one more month. Parents and colleges are concerned about the uncertainty in the timeline and outcomes of the second CET, which could delay the start of the upcoming academic year. 'Students are anxious due to the delay, and another round of CET will only add to the confusion. We don't know when the session will start or whether all seats will be filled,' said a principal from a suburban college. According to the National Education Policy (NEP), the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) regulates admissions into all professional undergraduate courses in the country. This mandates the colleges offering these courses to admit students through CET. From academic year 2024-25, these courses came under the purview of the AICTE as per NEP. In 2024, the University of Mumbai decided to change the nomenclature of the professional undergraduate programmes to allow the colleges to admit students into the professional courses based on class 12 scores and move away from the CET gateway for admissions. The decision was taken in the wake of requests put forth by several affiliated colleges not willing to follow AICTE regulations. Those colleges wishing to continue with the old name of BMS would have to admit students based on the scores of the CET scheduled by the state's Common Entrance Test (CET) cell. Many top colleges, including St. Xavier's College, renamed BMS to BCom (Management Studies) and BCA to BSc (Computer Applications) to move away from CET. However, there are many colleges across the state that have decided to go ahead with the CET for the courses. 'This entire process is going to affect the upcoming academic year. The second CET will take at least another month to complete, and only then can student admissions begin. Many students who appeared for the BMS CET have already taken admission in traditional degree courses. Once they secure a seat in professional courses, they will cancel those earlier admissions. This back-and-forth is likely to leave many seats vacant in colleges,' said a principal of a college in Malad, expressing concern over the revised admission process and pointing out that the delay dissolves the purpose of early declaration of class 12 results to start higher education on time. Meanwhile, the government is also exploring the option of scrapping the CET altogether for these professional courses, possibly allowing colleges to admit students based on their Class 12 marks instead. Experts pointed out that if the government wishes this change, it will be possible only in the next academic year, not this one.

PU's admn block set to get central AC, tender worth Rs 6 crore floated
Chandigarh: Relief may soon be on the way for those braving long queues and paperwork inside Panjab University's administrative block — the campus nerve centre for everything from student forms to faculty files — as the university has floated a tender to make the entire building centrally air-conditioned. The electrical wing of PU has invited bids from specialised agencies for the Rs 6.11 crore project, which will also be funded from the university's development fund. Once awarded, the work is to be completed in six months. Located in Sector 14, the administrative block is home to all major offices, including that of the registrar, finance, and examinations. It's the place where most students eventually land up — whether for getting a certificate stamped, a name corrected, or a fee receipt reissued. The staff, too, spend long hours inside, often with just ceiling fans for company. "Much needed," said one official with a smile, "at least the forms won't sweat anymore." According to the tender notice, the earnest money has been fixed at Rs 12 lakh. The pre-bid meeting was held on April 23, bids were accepted till May 6, and technical bids opened on May 7. While the AC upgrade is limited to the administrative block for now, officials say it is part of a larger push to improve campus infrastructure using internal funds. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah?
