educationUpdated: Aug 25, 2020 08:23 ISTThe Supreme Court on Monday refused to cancel the Maharashtra Common Entrance Test (MHT CET) for admission to engineering courses on a plea by two students who demanded that admissions this year be conducted based on their Class 12 examination scores. Nearly 4 lakh students are expected to appear for MHT CET this year. The examination is conducted by the State Common Entrance Test Cell in Mumbai. Schools and colleges in Maharashtra are shut till August 31 under the Ministry of Home Affairs’ Guidelines issued under the National Disaster Management Act. The petitioners sought scrapping of the MHT CET and demanded admission to be based purely on Class 12 scores.
