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."

The new centres began operating this week, said Dileep Sardesai, commissioner, CET cell. "While there were student facilitation centres in colleges, this is the first time help centres have been set up. The aim is to provide assistance and support to students, especially for issues not resolved by previous channels.

If a centre cannot resolve an issue (technical or otherwise), it will be escalated to the CET cell, which will directly assist in resolving the problem.
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.
