The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Maharashtra's CET Cell has withdrawn its decision to raise the seat acceptance fee for engineering admissions this academic year after student organisations objected.
- Students will continue to pay Rs 1,000 as in previous years.
- The revised rule would have charged Rs 1,000 for a first seat acceptance, Rs 2,000 for betterment, and Rs 3,000 for a third-round upgrade.
- The increase was intended to discourage students from blocking seats across rounds, a problem that affected about 35,000 seats last year.
What to watch next
- Whether the CET Cell introduces an alternative mechanism to prevent students from blocking seats across admission rounds
- Any renewed proposals to change admission fees in future academic years
- Whether seat-blocking levels in the current admission rounds change without the higher fee
