Maharashtra CET Cell Seeks Police Probe into Viral Exam Irregularity ClaimsPreviousNext

The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test (MHT-CET) Cell has filed police complaints seeking investigations into social media videos and an audio clip alleging irregularities in the MHT-CET exam process. These claims include discrepancies between Class 12 marks and MHT-CET percentiles and offers of 'special' exam centres for payment. The CET Cell emphasized that only a small number of students with low Class 12 scores achieved high percentiles and requested police to verify the authenticity of these claims and take legal action if warranted.
