MHT
CET 2020 exam was schedule to be conducted on July 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14,
28, 29, 30, and 31 and on August 3, 4, and 5, 2020 .

CET is postponed till Further Orders..
COVID-19 continues to play havoc with exam schedules
The
postponement of the CET exams is the latest in a series of events that can be
attributed to COVID-19 and the subsequent lockdown. Earlier, CET Maharashtra
had extended application deadlines of almost all major exams to accommodate
applicants affected by the lockdown. For example, the MHT CET 2020 and MHT CET
Law applications had been extended multiple times. The original exam dates of
many of these exams had also been changed multiple times.
Uncertainty
looms ahead
The
uncertainty doesn’t end with the assurance that new dates will be released as
no one knows how the COVID-19 situation will evolve. In one interesting
development, the HPTU has cancelled the state-level HP CET 2020 entrance exam
on a similar pretext, which is as a safety precaution against COVID-19. It will
now use JEE Main 2020 scores for admission to its various engineering programs.
While
it is too early to predict what lies in store for the CET exams, one fact that
is certain is it has kept everyone on the tenterhooks.
