3 city girls score 100 percentile in MHT-CET for sciences
Pune: Fourteen students from the state have scored a perfect 100 percentile in the Maharashtra Technical Common Entrance Test (MHT-CET) for pharmacy and agriculture undergraduate courses, whose results were declared on Tuesday. According to the list released by the CET cell, city girls have secured top ranks. Shreya Yadav, Siddhi Manjabapu Badhe and Snehal Nivrutti Diwate are among the 14 students who have scored 100 percentile. The next step for successful students is the counselling process likely to start in late June. There will be three rounds of counselling, where students will get seats based on their choices, category, and marks they obtained. Many CET toppers also performed exceptionally well in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) and wish to pursue medicine. Anshika Shah of Mumbai has decided to pursue medical education despite securing 100 percentile in CET. Her interest in pursuing medicine stems from her aunt and uncle who are in the medical field. The MHT-CET exam for the physics, chemistry, and biology (PCB) group examination was held from April 22 to 30. Of the 301,072 registered students, 282,734 took the test. This year, the number of meritorious students scoring between 90 to 100 percentile has decreased by 1,390 compared to last year. The 100 percentile, which was achieved by 17 students last year, has been reduced to 14 this year. The number of students scoring 80 to 89.99 has also decreased by 1,451 students. In addition to the CET results, the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) has also released the schedule for its recruitment exams for 2023, which is expected to attract thousands of government job aspirants across the state.

Two girls from Pune score 100 percentile in MHT-CET (PCB)
1 2 Pune: Two girls from the district scored 100 percentile in the physics, chemistry, biology (PCB) group of Maharashtra Common Entrance Test (MHT-CET), the results of which were announced on Tuesday. Of the 2.82 lakh students who appeared for MHT-CET in the PCB group from across the state this year, 14 scored a perfect 100 percentile. Last year, 17 of the 2.9 lakh students who appeared for the exam scored 100 percentile in the same group. MHT-CET is a prerequisite for admission to the state's first-year undergraduate pharmacy programmes. Shreya Yadav (17), a 100 percentlier from the district, said she was preparing for National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test, which prepared her for MHT-CET as well. "Honestly, I have not yet checked my MHT-CET score because I won't be taking admission based on it. I prepared well for my HSC exams, and since the CET syllabus is based on the same syllabus, I didn't need to study anything extra. I have my eyes set on MBBS. I was hoping for AIIMS Delhi, but my NEET ranking is just 2,128. I am hoping to get into AIIMS Nagpur," she said. During breaks from studies, Shreya ensured that she didn't watch any serials for fear of getting hooked. "I studied at least 10 hours a day. So, instead of watching regular TV, I went back to cartoons I used to love as a child. Mr Bean is my stress buster. Other than that, I also cycle," said Shreya. Unlike many other students who give importance to coaching classes over college during Stds XI and XII, Shreya's father, Prasad Yadav, said he ensured Sneha gave equal importance to both. "We wanted her to be in a proper college and not a dummy. Hence, she was a regular student at Fergusson College. I think colleges prepare students better for senior college. In college, she had laboratory practicals, which will serve her well when she goes to senior college. Social skills are very important as you grow, and colleges teach you that," said Prasad, adding that she did yoga regularly. Siddhi Bade, from Baramati, who also scored 100 percentile from Pune district, has her hopes pinned on AIIMS Delhi. "All my life, I wanted to be a doctor. I was preparing for NEET since Std XI and secured 26th All-India rank this time. I never prepared differently for MHT-CET as the NEET syllabus covers everything," said Siddhi, whose parents are govt schoolteachers. Her elder brother is an engineering student. Another student, Snehal Diwate from Pune, who secured 99.97 percentile, topped in the ST category. The State CET cell is yet to release its schedule for the centralized admission process. With the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) extending the deadline for approval till Sept 30, representatives of colleges offering pharmacy education in the state fear yet another delay in the admission process. This year, the examination was conducted from April 9 to 17 at 172 centres within Maharashtra, and 9 examination centres outside the state.
