To raise awareness about the higher education avenues that the students can tap into, officials from the Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell have begun hosting seminars in various districts across the state. Over the past week, CET Cell officials have spoken to students from Nandurbar and Dhule, while they are set to converse with students from Akola and Nanded this week.

“We have selected the districts as per past registration data,” said Dileep B Sardesai, CET Cell commissioner. “Over the years we have noticed that the number of registrations largely comes in from cities like Pune. Through this activity, we hope to reach out to students from other districts to increase their awareness about the entrance test and wthe kind of courses one can enrol in after the exam,” he added.
