The minister further informed that students who have given the CET will be preferred for FYJC admissions based on their CET scores. “After their admissions, students who did not give CET will be offered admissions based on their evaluation as per the internal assessment in Std 10th ,” she added.

The CET is an entirely optional exam for Class 10 students and will be based on the Class 10 state board curriculum. Also, since students have already paid the exam fee for the cancelled SSC board exams, there is no application fee for the CET exam. However, students from other boards will have to pay the fee to sit in the entrance exam.

The online application link to apply for the entrance test and the list of the exam centres will be made available after the declaration of Maharashtra SSC result 2021, around July 15 at Maharashtra board official website 2021. However, the details regarding the likely CET timing and the exam format are being shared to help aspirants prepare in the best possible way.

CET Exam Pattern

Also, the marks obtained in the CET exam will be applicable for admissions to all junior colleges affiliated to the state board and will be organised by the board or the Maharashtra State Council of Examinations under the supervision of the Education Commissioner.
