MHT-CET, JEE Scores Under Scrutiny As CET Cell Flags HSC-Entrance Performance Gaps

Mumbai: The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell will conduct a detailed scrutiny of candidates whose MHT-CET and JEE percentile scores are disproportionately high compared to their Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) marks, officials said on Monday.

Analysis Reveals Performance Discrepancies

The move comes after an analysis of examination data revealed that a significant number of students with relatively low HSC scores secured exceptionally high percentiles in engineering entrance examinations.

According to the data, 1,450 students who scored 75% or above in HSC PCM secured 99 to below 100 percentile in MHT-CET. However, the list also includes 455 students from the 60–75% HSC bracket, 68 students from the 50–60% bracket and 61 students who scored 40–50% in HSC but still obtained 99 to below 100 percentile in MHT-CET.
