In a significant development, Higher and Technical Education Minister Uday Samant announced on Wednesday that degree colleges in districts with low Covid positivity rates could reopen. Besides, he also declared that there would be no common entrance test (CET) for students seeking admission to degree college after Class 12.
Samant’s announcements come on the heels of the state government’s move to relax Covid curbs in 22 districts where the number of cases, as well as positivity rates have dropped. The announcement on no CET for degree courses came a day after the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education announced Class XII results on the basis of the average marks obtained in Class XI and XII and Class XII internal evaluations.
