SHIFTING GEARS: FROM CET TO NEET
It’s an assumption
that all IIT aspirants come from larger cities to prepare for the
entrance exam. Students come from rural parts of the country and this
decision is affecting them technically and psychologically.

Students were given less than three months to prepare for NEET (which was based on the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) syllabus) compared to the annual CET exam which was based on the state board syllabus
Chaos ensued and many medical and dental aspirants ended up skipping one year to take time off and prepare for NEET in 2017
On similar lines, earlier this year the All India Council for Technical Education
(AICTE) had announced their decision to introduce a similar all-India
level exam for engineering aspirants in order to do away with different
CETs conducted by respective state Directorates of Technical Education (DTEs)
Although the decision is yet still to materialise, the Maharashtra government, in February, made it clear that MH-CET 2018 will be at par with the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE). This means that the test will have similar questions in terms of quality as well as the difficulty level
Last week, Maharashtra DTE also made it clear through a circular that the MH-CET exam will include syllabus of class XI as well as XII of state board for the May 2018 exam
Henceforth, each section of the MH-CET paper (mathematics, physics & Chemistry and biology) will have 20% (10 questions) from class XI syllabus and 80% (40 questions) from class XII syllabus. All questions will be multiple choice questions.
