Congress Alleges Irregularities in 2025-26 MH-CET, Demands InquiryPreviousNext

The Maharashtra Congress has alleged irregularities in the 2025-26 Maharashtra Common Entrance Test (MH-CET), citing cases where students with low Class 10 and 12 board marks secured exceptionally high percentiles, including perfect scores in Mathematics. They have demanded a high-level inquiry, suggesting possible overlap of subject experts with the cancelled NEET-UG exam. The State Common Entrance Test Cell has denied any irregularities in the examination process.

Sentiment — Negative (30/100)

The overall tone of the articles is neutral to critical, focusing on allegations of irregularities and demands for investigation. While the Congress's claims introduce a negative sentiment regarding the exam's credibility, the inclusion of the official denial tempers the tone, resulting in a balanced but cautious sentiment across the coverage.
