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.

Mumbai University to launch skill-integrated UG courses from next year
In a major academic shift aimed at boosting student employability, Mumbai University (MU) is likely to roll out skill-integrated undergraduate programs — BA, and — from the next academic year. The move is aligned with University Grants Commission (UGC) guidelines that advocate industry-oriented learning to address sector-specific skill gaps. As per UGC guidelines in this regard, 50 percent of the total credits in these degree programs will be allotted to core academic subjects, while the remaining 50 percent will be dedicated to short-term, skill-based courses. These industry-aligned modules are intended to train students in fields such as real estate, insurance, and marketing — areas where dedicated academic training is currently lacking. 'There are several emerging industries with growing demand for trained manpower, but no corresponding courses in higher education,' said M Jagadesh Kumar, former UGC Chairperson, speaking in Mumbai on Saturday. 'The UGC has formed a committee to identify such gaps. With the support of industry partners, we aim to create hybrid-mode short-term courses to offer credits to students. Universities too are encouraged to create such courses meeting local industry requirements.' MU officials confirmed that groundwork laid to begin offering these revamped programs from the 2025-26 academic year onwards. The shift is expected to mark a significant overhaul of the traditional undergraduate education structure. Additionally, universities are encouraged to offer a new model combining academics and hands-on industry experience. Under this, students will spend two years on campus and two years apprenticing with industry partners. 'For instance, a BA Journalism student will study theory for two years and work in a media house for the next two, with the industry also involved in their evaluation,' Kumar explained. He emphasised that such students will have an edge over others when they enter the job market. 'They will already have an understanding of the industry with their experience of two years,' he said. Kumar was in the city for the western zone conference of VIKAS 2025 — a national initiative promoting industry-academia collaboration as envisioned in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. Representatives of various universities and affiliated colleges in Maharashtra were present to attend this conference.
