While admissions to various professional courses around the state are underway, the State Common Entrance Test Cell is eyeing a few changes for the coming years. The cell is proposing to weed out admission tests for certain courses that have garnered very little response over the years, and have very little intake to begin with.

One such course is the Master of Hotel Management and Catering Technology (MHMCT) programme. As it is seeing a very poor response, the Cell has proposed to eliminate its entrance test. “With low enrollment figures, such courses may not require the entire state machinery, and students can simply approach the colleges concerned with the CGPA [cumulative grade point average] from their undergraduation,” said an official from the CET Cell.
