The admissions for teaching courses, namely BEd, MEd, BPEd (Bachelor of Physical Education) and MPEd (Master of Physical Education), faced the same roadblocks as law courses. While the state has been conducting the Centralised Admission Process for the government and aided teaching colleges though a Common Entrance Test (CET), private teaching colleges were also included in the process this year. Till last year, students were admitted to private BEd colleges on basis of their scores in a separate CET that was conducted by Maharashtra Vinaanudanit Mahavidyalaya Sansthachalk Association (MVMSA) - an umbrella body of unaided BEd colleges. Now, the government should allow colleges to admit students who didn’t appear for the CET,” said Ramzan Shaikh, secretary, MVMSA. Also, like the law colleges the process of getting approvals from the apex body of colleges -National Council for Teachers Education, in case of teaching colleges - also delayed the admissions.
