2nd CET for BBA, BMS, BCA may delay academic calendar
Mumbai: With state govt conducting one more common entrance test (CET) for BBA, BMS, and BCA, admissions to these AICTE-run courses are likely to impact the academic calendar in degree colleges. The delayed process will leave vacant seats in other courses in several colleges, as students from traditional courses such as BCom, BA, or BSc may want to shift to these professional courses if they secure seats. After higher education minister Chandrakant Patil announced the conduct of a second phase of CET for BMS, BBA, and BCA last week, the state's CET cell issued a circular notifying students. However, it is yet to call for applications. Following the registration process, the cell will conduct the CET, announce results, and then start the centralised admission process (CAP), which will delay admissions even for students who took the CET in the first phase. Last year, too, admissions were delayed as the CET was conducted in two phases. A principal pointed out that last year, the lectures in these courses eventually started in Oct. "We engaged our teachers and students during Oct, Dec, and May vacations to compensate for the loss of days," he said.

HSC: One in two 90 percenters from city, Mumbai success rate higher than state's
Mumbai: Bucking recent trends, Mumbai division's HSC performance has exceeded the overall state average, recording 90.4% pass percentage—its best in 8 years, with the exception of 2021 when exams were cancelled due to Covid-19. In comparison, the overall state success rate has dipped to 90.2% from 91.9% last year, reports Yogita Rao. More than 50% of students scoring 90% or above are from Mumbai, first time since 2018. A total of 4,524 students are 90-percenters compared to 3,774 last year. The state's count of those scoring 90%+ dropped to 8,352 from 8,782 last year.

It rose to the fourth place among the nine divisions—a big jump from the bottom spot last year. Meanwhile, the performance of students in the arts faculty in Maharashtra has seen a steep decline of 6%, majorly contributing to the dip in the state's overall success rate. More than half the students in the state who scored 90% or more—4,524 out of 8,352— are from Mumbai. While the top scorers across the state decreased, Mumbai saw a jump. Among high scorers from the city, one of a set of twins from Ramnarain Ruia College, Arushi Sinha, bagged 98.17% in science. Her sister, Ayati Sinha, secured 95.67%. Commerce high scorers, in a deviation from the usual, are not from commerce-only colleges. From K C College, Amey Pawar scored 97.33%, followed by St Xavier's College's Adya Choudhury who got 97.1%. At St Xavier's College, commerce at the FYJC level was started in 2021. This was the third batch to clear HSC, said principal Rajendra Shinde. Choudhury's score was followed by three from H R College, who bagged 97%. Both humanities high scorers in the city— Vrinda Pandya (96.67%) and Mihika Joshi (96.17%)—are from Jai Hind College. In the state, the Konkan division recorded the best performance with a success rate of 96%. Most divisions saw a decline in their performance. State board chairman Sharad Gosavi said an overall decline in 1% or 2% is not a major concern, as the performance of different divisions varies each year and depends on the batches. Commerce students did better than in 2024. Girls again outperformed boys. Many city colleges recorded good results. At N M College, of the 1,082 students, almost half scored 90%, and over 96% distinction, said principal Parag Ajgaonkar. R A Podar College and Mulund College of Commerce also recorded 100% results. At R A Podar, 288 students scored above 90%. More students scored above 90% in commerce at K C College. It recorded better results in commerce, followed by arts and then science, said principal Tejashree Shanbhag. Its highest score in science, though, was up 3%. At Mithibai College, arts and commerce results were better than science, said principal Krutika Desai. Almost 22% of its 1,055 students in commerce scored above 90%, the corresponding number was less than 2% in science. Pace Junior Science College chairman Praveen Tyagi said assessment has been stringent in science, but it would motivate students to work harder. Shubham Raje Junior College at Ghodbunder Road has got a 100% result in science and commerce, continuing its streak since 2008. (With Nishikant Karlikar)
