MHT-CET sees record attendance in 2025 as more students opt for engineering
The number of students appearing for the Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test (MHT-CET) has touched a new high this year, with over 7 lakh candidates taking the exam—marking a clear rise in the popularity of engineering and related professional courses due to higher employment opportunities. This is the first time in four years that student participation in the entrance test has not only crossed the 7-lakh mark in terms of registration but also in attendance, pointing to a renewed enthusiasm for engineering, pharmacy, and agriculture courses across the state. The State CET Cell, which conducts the exam, recorded 765,335 registrations in 2025, of which 705,600 students appeared—a significant jump from 675,445 appearances last year and 591,135 in 2023. Experts attribute the surge to multiple factors: the steady rise in demand for courses in computer science, artificial intelligence, and data science, the widening scope of core engineering branches, and improved accessibility for students in smaller towns. 'The engineering field is expanding—not just in new-age streams like AI and data analytics, but even in traditional areas like mechanical and civil, where industry applications are evolving. The growing number of seats in modern courses and rising student interest are closely linked,' said professor DN Sonawane, registrar, COEP Technological University. The physics-chemistry-mathematics (PCM) group alone saw 464,263 registrations and 422,863 students appearing for the exam. The physics-chemistry-biology (PCB) group followed with 301,072 registrations and 282,737 students appearing. 'The MHT-CET still holds relevance despite fluctuations in job markets and some engineering seats going vacant each year. Students are hopeful, especially as the scope of engineering is shifting and integrating with interdisciplinary fields,' said professor Vidyadhar Soman, a senior educationist. For many students, CET remains the gateway to a future shaped by technology and innovation. 'I chose CET because I want to study computer engineering with a focus on AI. This year's competition was intense, but it was also motivating. Engineering today is no longer just about traditional jobs—there's opportunity in startups, research, and emerging tech fields,' said Sneha Shetty, a Class 12 student from Pune. The trend is also driven by changing parental outlooks. Meenakshi Kalantri, whose son appeared for the exam, said, 'We encouraged him to go for CET because fields like computer science and AI are shaping the future. It's heartening to see more students from smaller towns aiming for professional courses that were once beyond reach. Education still holds power to change lives.' The MHT-CET's popularity—especially for engineering—comes despite concerns over vacant seats in recent years. Experts believe the shift reflects growing awareness among students and parents about the changing nature of engineering careers, and how professional degrees, especially in tech-related streams, remain relevant in a fast-evolving job market.

Delay in declaration of CET results draws criticism
PUNE: The Sajag Nagrik Manch has strongly criticised the Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell for the delay in declaring the results of engineering, pharmacy and agriculture entrance exams. In a letter addressed to higher and technical education minister Chandrakant Patil, the organisation has called the delay 'unacceptable' while highlighting the inefficiency of the CET process. This year, the CET was conducted online between April 19 and May 5 however the results are going to be announced only on June 16 after a gap of nearly 40 days. Vivek Velankar, president of the Pune-based citizens' group compared this timeline with that of the results of Class 12 Maharashtra board exams wherein 14 lakh students appeared and results were declared within 55 days. 'In contrast, the CET, which was held online for barely 7 lakh students, is taking over 40 days for result declaration. This is a puzzle no one can solve,' Velankar said in the letter. He pointed out that the neighbouring state of Karnataka is handling the process more efficiently. 'Karnataka's CET was conducted between May 10 and 25 and the results will be out on June 7 in just 13 days,' the letter stated. Velankar also raised concerns over multiple errors in the CET question papers this year. 'There were at least 40 mistakes in the question papers, which is shameful in itself,' he noted. He said that the delay in declaration of CET results would in turn delay the admission process with professional colleges beginning their academic year as late as mid-August. Calling the entire situation very unfortunate, Velankar demanded immediate action in terms of urgent processing of CET results and admission timelines. Meanwhile, Akshay Randive, a student, said, 'It's already June 4, and yet the dates keep getting extended again and again. The CET cell helpline tells us to contact the CET office, but no one answers the calls there.' Abhishek Dubey, another student, said, 'This year, there were around 40 mistakes in the CET question papers which is already frustrating. Now, the delay in results is adding to the stress and making me more anxious by the day.'
