Maharashtra CET Cell Implements Observers and CCTV for Transparent Technical Admissions
The Maharashtra CET Cell has introduced new measures to enhance transparency in institute-level admissions for technical courses in 2026-27. Selected private colleges will have observers, such as senior faculty from nearby government colleges, overseeing key admission stages including document verification and merit list preparation. The process will be recorded on CCTV, with video preserved for audits or grievances. Colleges must strictly follow merit-based seat allotment after CAP rounds and publish admission rules online, maintaining daily records and reports for monitoring.
