Maharashtra CET Cell issues clarification after video alleges discrepancy in provisional merit list
After the emergence of a viral video alleging discrepancies in the provisional merit list for engineering admissions in the state, Maharashtra Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell has issued a clarification stating that the claims in the video are baseless. Stating that such baseless allegations cast doubt on performance of hard-working candidates, CET Cell has appealed to candidates and parents not to believe such claims. As engineering admissions are underway in the state, the provisional merit list was declared on July 19. Soon after a video is being circulated among engineering aspirants where an unknown person alleges that there are problems in the provisional merit list for BE/ (Bachelor of Engineering and Bachelor of Technology) admissions. The video alleged that among the candidates who have scored 100 percentile and are ranked at the top of this provisional merit list, there are some who have low scores in Physics Chemistry Mathematics (PCM) combination of subjects in Class 12 marks; further raising questions on how this is possible. However, CET Cell in a written clarification issued for information of candidates and parents, states, 'There is a difference between calculation between percentile and percentage. The method of calculation is declared before the CET exams and the candidates are well versed with it. The performance of a candidate in CET cannot be compared with his/her Performance in HSC exam as candidates focus the effort and study on CET exams as it is an eligibility test for admission.' Further appealing to candidates and parents to not to believe such baseless claims, the clarification note further states, 'In CET 2025 results, there were 22 Candidates across 15 sessions who have scored 100 Percentile. Out of these 22 Candidates, only 8 Candidates have applied for the CAP process. It means that others have opted for other higher education institutes such as IITs and NITs. Therefore, they were toppers in both the exams. Further, other candidates have scored more than 95% Percentile in JEE (Main), however they have considerably lower Percentile in CET exam. Other Candidates have high JEE (Main) Percentile score against low HSC score. Therefore, such selective comparison is futile and irresponsible.'
