Exam to be held in August: Announced Official

Dinkar Patil who is the chairman of the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education earlier said that the exam will be held in the month of August. However, the exact date has been announced on Monday, July 19. Candidates must consider that CET is not mandatory. In simpler words, students who passed Class 10 have been assured of FYJC seat by State Education Board. However, the first priority will be given to candidates who will appear for the CET. 

CET importance and pattern

Maharashtra Board like a few other State boards cancelled Class 10th exams due to the pandemic. The results have been calculated considering internal assessments. Maharashtra education department decided that CET should be conducted to give equal opportunity to all students seeking admission in class 11th. However, students who will not opt for CET will be given admissions based on Class 10 merit. The CET 2021 will be held offline, therefore candidates who register for the same, will have to take the exam at their exam centre. The centre details will be printed on admit card that will be released later.
