The Maharashtra Health and Technical Common Entrance Test (MH-CET) Cell has once again brought to light cases of mark sheet tampering by medical aspirants trying to bag a seat in their dream college. While such complaints have been registered year after year, officials at the cell have already come across at least five such possible cases within two months, since the National Eligibility Entrance Test (Undergraduate) or NEET UG results came out in June 2025.

Of these, there have been three cases of mark sheets showing different results. Students claimed mark sheet duplication, stating that the mark sheet they downloaded from the National Testing Agency (NTA) website and the one they saw the next day on the portal did not match. While the CET Cell directly gets students’ scores from the national agency, pupils wrote emails and raised concerns with the cell, asking them to look into the matter. Such queries are forwarded to the NTA.

mid-day came across a case where a student from the Beed district claimed to have received two distinct mark sheets, one where their total score out of 720 was 502 and the second where it was 30. While the CET Cell forwarded the complaint, the national agency confirmed that the student had scored low and the second mark sheet was doctored. The 19-year-old student, who claimed to have taken NEET-UG for the third time, will now be ineligible for MBBS and BDS owing to the low score.
