CET cell sets up student help centre in every district
1 2 3 Pune: The State Common Entrance Test (CET) cell has set up a student help centre in each of the 36 districts in the state. The centre, one in a college in every district, is expected to provide students and parents with information and guidance regarding the admission process for various professional courses in the state as well as resolve any issues encountered during the same. Both parents and teachers have praised this initiative, emphasising that help centres are vital for clarifying doubts and offering guidance during the crucial admission period. Explaining the importance of such centres, Rajini Nair, a parent whose son is awaiting admission to undergraduate engineering courses, said, "The brochure for all courses is uploaded online but still doubts remain. And since admission to a UG college has a huge role to play when it comes to the overall development of the child, it is crucial that nothing goes wrong when applying under the centralised admission process. While there are helpline numbers, they are not always reachable. But if there is a person whom I can speak to, it makes a huge difference as I can get my doubts cleared in one go."

These centres are expected to assist parents and students who are uncomfortable with digital processes, offering face-to-face support. The centres will also address anxiety and confusion among parents and students regarding course selection and application procedures," said Sardesai, adding that while brochures and notices provide all information, students are often seen not reading them, which leads to issues that the help centre aims to resolve.

Maharashtra LLB CET 2025 rescheduled to May 2–3 due to NEET-UG centre clash
LLB entrance exam in Maharashtra advanced by a day as NTA takes over centres MUMBAI: The three-year LLB CET in Maharashtra, which was earlier scheduled to be held on May 3 and 4, will now be conducted on May 2 and 3. This change comes after nearly 30 govt exam centres were taken by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for the conduct of NEET-UG on May 4. While the two slots scheduled on May 3 will remain unchanged, three slots, which were to be held on May 4 for around 57,000 students, will now be conducted on May 2. All LLB three-year programme aspirants have been asked to follow the schedule mentioned on their admit cards, which were released on Monday. The admit cards have been issued with the revised schedule, said the state's CET cell commissioner, Dileep Sardesai. Students have been informed about the revised schedule through WhatsApp, text messages, and emails, and the same has also been uploaded as a public notice on the CET cell portal, he said. The NEET-UG exam is scheduled for May 4 across the country. In the state, at least 28 govt centres that were to be used by the CET cell for the law entrance test were taken by NTA, said the official. Around 9,000 law aspirants were scheduled to take the exam from these 28 centres. However, NTA decided to use only govt buildings for the NEET-UG exam following a central directive. The CET cell could not postpone the LLB entrance test as centres were not available, and other dates would have clashed with the state's universities' exams. Further delay would have also affected the results and the law admission process in the state, said Sardesai. For real-time updates, follow our AP SSC 10th Result 2025 Live Blog.
