Lakhs of students aspiring to take admission to professional degree courses are waiting for their higher education plans to take off, thanks to the delayed entrance test. Even as traditional degree course admissions have begun already, there is no update on when multiple entrance tests which determine admission to professional courses such as law, pharmacy, architecture, hospitality and management, etc. will be held.

After the Std XII results of all boards were declared earlier this month, the admission bell started ringing for students and parents for degree courses. While the Mumbai University has begun college admissions, students who want to apply for professional courses are still in the dark as admission to these courses is decided by scores obtained in entrance tests. This year too, registration for the entrance tests was completed by the Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell but without further update on when and how the tests will be held.
