No more MH-CET exams outside Maharashtra: Chandrakant Patil
Maharashtra will no longer conduct Common Entrance Tests (CETs) outside the state, Higher and Technical Education Minister Chandrakant Patil announced on Thursday. The decision follows recent incidents raising concerns about the exam's integrity. On Wednesday, the five-year LLB CET results showed that all four top scorers were from a single exam centre in Patna, Bihar, sparking suspicion. Earlier, in March 2025, the MBA CET was marred by reports of students receiving unsolicited calls offering admission to top institutes for hefty sums of amount in range from Rs 11 to Rs 20 lakh. A complaint to Mumbai police had led to the arrest of three people in Delhi. Stating that the investigating team has been informed of the latest development from the LLB five-year CET's result which has sparked suspicion, Patil said, 'To ensure transparency, CETs will no longer be held outside of Maharashtra.' The Maharashtra CET Cell conducts over 18 entrance exams for admission to various professional courses in the state. Some of the CETs – such as MHT-CET, MBA and LLB CETs are extended to a few cities outside of Maharashtra like Patna, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, and Bengaluru to accommodate out-of-state aspirants. 'These are anyway very limited exam-centres. Further, this year, we had already reduced outside centres post the MBA-CET issue, but couldn't cancel previously announced exams. Now, we've decided to stop them entirely,' said an official from the CET Cell. The MBA-CET scam surfaced in March after students reported calls promising inflated marks to ensure admission to coveted colleges in the city in exchange for large sums. CET Cell had formed a confidential committee to probe the matter following which the matter was reported to the Mumbai Police.

Agriculture Minister John Steenhuisen's controversial chief of staff Roman Cabanac's contract has reportedly been terminated. Cabanac made the announcement in a social media post on Thursday. 'I received a letter that terminates my tenure as chief of staff to the minister of agriculture. I received it yesterday, which was my birthday, so fantastic timing. 'I believe there are a few flaws with the termination letter, so I will be looking at options going forward, Cabanac said. Alleged racism Cabanac's appointment last year was met with outrage and dissatisfaction from South Africans who accused him of racism. The Capitalist Party of South Africa member had previously tweeted that black people are not liberals. 'If you want to be a liberal party, it cannot be black-led,' he said, in reaction to Build One South Africa (Bosa) leader Mmusi Maimane's explanation in his book on why he left the DA. He also allegedly called black people 'Bantu people' and questioned the validity of the Sharpeville Massacre.

In September last year, Steenhuisen admitted that he had made a mistake in the appointment. 'We don't always get it right. We never will,' the DA leader said during his appearance at the Cape Town Press Club. Steeping aside Steenhuisen at the time confirmed that human resource processes were underway and that he had asked Cabanac to step down. 'Frankly, I found it far too distracting from the work of my ministry and our government that he is the news story rather than the work of the department. I have asked him, therefore, whether he would consider stepping aside'. The minister added that he takes full responsibility for the appointment.
