Mohd. Alraza Hanif Shaikh (Gondia), Shirish Nilesh Pattewar (Yavatmal), and Chinmay Vikas Chavhan (Bhandara) are the students from Vidarbha who hit the bull's eye in the MHT-CET (PCM).

The MHT-CET 2025 (PCM Group) was conducted from April 19 to April 27. The examination was conducted at 207 centres within Maharashtra and 17 outside the state. An additional exam was also conducted on May 5 following major problems with the online exam on a specific date.
Students complained that almost 20 questions displayed on the screen did not have correct options. There was a huge ruckus post the exam, and the govt was forced to take cognisance.
Since the govt's findings confirmed the error, a re-exam was held only for students who appeared on that particular date.
The questions were based on the syllabus of the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT), Maharashtra. Approximately 20% weightage was given to the Class 11 curriculum, and 80% weightage was given to the Class 12 curriculum while setting the question paper.
