Maharashtra Forms Committee to Include Class 12 Marks in Engineering Admissions
The Maharashtra government has formed a committee to develop a policy that incorporates Class 12 examination marks alongside MHT-CET scores for undergraduate engineering and pharmacy admissions. This move aims to address concerns over alleged malpractice and score irregularities in the entrance exam by creating a more transparent and equitable merit list. The committee, led by Mumbai University's vice-chancellor, will recommend the weightage of Class 12 marks and the implementation timeline, seeking to balance board exam results with entrance test performance.
