Class 12 Marks Could Gain Weight in Maharashtra Engineering Admissions
What Happened
The Maharashtra government has set up an expert committee to design a new admission framework that combines MHT-CET scores with Class 12 board marks for undergraduate engineering and pharmacy admissions. The move follows concerns over large gaps between some students’ board exam performance and entrance-test scores.
Key Takeaways
If adopted, the policy would reduce reliance on entrance-test scores alone and encourage students to focus on board exams as well. The recommendations are expected to shape admissions from the 2027-28 academic session onward.
