VVCE Open Day in Mysuru on May 11
Vidyavardhaka College of Engineering (VVCE), Mysuru, will organise 'Open Day–2025' at Sri H. Kempegowda Indoor Sports Complex on its campus on May 11 at 10:30 a.m. The event is open to all PU students and their families.
B. Sadashive Gowda, principal of VVCE, said the event will feature an exhibition of projects, career guidance sessions, and interaction with CET and industry experts. The primary objective is to help students explore different engineering domains, understand the kind of projects students develop at VVCE, and get guidance on career options and engineering branches.
Mr. Gowda emphasised that many students make minor but critical errors during CET document verification and option entry, which may lead to admission in unintended colleges and branches. He added that experts will guide students during the Open Day to address this issue.
The experts attending the event include Sundar K.S., associate vice-president of Infosys, Mysuru; Rahul Deshpande, co-founder and director of PravegaSemi, Bengaluru; and Uday Shankar, a CET official.
These guests will interact with students and parents, offering valuable insights into current industry expectations, CET counselling procedures, and how to avoid common mistakes during admissions.

Institutional round applications for engg, mgmt via CET cell too
Mumbai: Aspirants seeking admission in the institutional round for engineering, management and pharmacy courses can now apply centrally through the state's CET cell too. Previously, candidates only had the option of approaching individual colleges directly and often faced the risk of being turned away on various pretexts. To bring in more transparency in admissions to institutional quota seats across technical courses, including diploma, undergraduate and postgraduate, the state govt has decided to step up precautionary measures. For instance, the govt has now removed the ambiguity in the definition of 'NRI', paving the way for only genuine candidates to secure seats under the quota. Additionally, the state's Fees Regulatory Authority (FRA) also fixed fees for institutional quota seats for the first time in technical colleges—private, unaided colleges can now charge up to five times the fees for merit seats from NRI students and three times from students taking admission in management seats. The govt issued a notification bringing in amendments in the Maharashtra Unaided Private Professional Educational Institutions (Regulation of Admissions and Fees) Act, 2015 on Friday. One of the provisions in the notification stated, "In case a candidate is unable to submit the application directly to the concerned institute for any reason, the candidate shall have the opportunity to apply through the website of the CET cell till the date of allotment of final admission round. " These applications will be forwarded to the respective institutions after the allotment process of round four and will be considered for merit, it mentioned. Vinod Mohitkar, director, directorate of technical education, said the govt is not overstepping on the rights of management to conduct the institutional round. "We receive some complaints from students about certain institutions refusing applications for the institutional round. We are, therefore, only offering students an additional platform to apply. These applications will be compiled and sent to respective institutions and they will include these names, while preparing their merit list," said the director. Some of the admission rules were also modified in the notification, but were announced before. The state's cabinet, in a meeting this week, also announced aspirants seeking admission under the NRI quota for any courses will have to submit a certificate from respective consulate offices or documents mentioned in Guardians and Wards Act, 1890. A department official said even local students claimed admissions under NRI quota by submitting affidavits. Higher and technical education minister Chandrakant Patil had announced revision in admission process for more transparency.

3 city girls score 100 percentile in MHT-CET for sciences
Pune: Fourteen students from the state have scored a perfect 100 percentile in the Maharashtra Technical Common Entrance Test (MHT-CET) for pharmacy and agriculture undergraduate courses, whose results were declared on Tuesday. According to the list released by the CET cell, city girls have secured top ranks. Shreya Yadav, Siddhi Manjabapu Badhe and Snehal Nivrutti Diwate are among the 14 students who have scored 100 percentile. The next step for successful students is the counselling process likely to start in late June. There will be three rounds of counselling, where students will get seats based on their choices, category, and marks they obtained. Many CET toppers also performed exceptionally well in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) and wish to pursue medicine. Anshika Shah of Mumbai has decided to pursue medical education despite securing 100 percentile in CET. Her interest in pursuing medicine stems from her aunt and uncle who are in the medical field. The MHT-CET exam for the physics, chemistry, and biology (PCB) group examination was held from April 22 to 30. Of the 301,072 registered students, 282,734 took the test. This year, the number of meritorious students scoring between 90 to 100 percentile has decreased by 1,390 compared to last year. The 100 percentile, which was achieved by 17 students last year, has been reduced to 14 this year. The number of students scoring 80 to 89.99 has also decreased by 1,451 students. In addition to the CET results, the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) has also released the schedule for its recruitment exams for 2023, which is expected to attract thousands of government job aspirants across the state.
