Students flag errors in MHT CET 2025 PCM paper, over 20 questions had incorrect options

NEW DELHI: Over 20 questions in the MHT CET 2025 PCM paper held on April 27 shift 1 had mismatched options, students claim. During a recent press conference, the State CET cell’s commissioner Dileep Sardesai, said the papers in the exam are in encrypted format, which they can’t see. However, students will be able to register their objections on the ‘Objection Tracker’ window.

According to several students who appeared for the shift 1 paper, around 20+ questions in the maths paper had incorrect options. Many students raised their concerns and are requesting to take action against the inconvenience caused to them.
