Amid growing backlash against Maharashtra government’s revised management quota policy, the Yuva Sena – Shiv Sena’s youth wing – called for immediate rollback of the decision allowing institutions to charge two to three times the regular fee for professional courses under the quota.

On Tuesday, a delegation of the Yuva Sena, from Mumbai University, submitted a formal memorandum to Higher and Technical Education Minister Chandrakant Patil in this regard.Formal memorandum. (PIC/ SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT)

The opposition comes amid the ongoing admission process for the academic year 2025–26, conducted through the Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell. Yuva Sena Senate member Pradeep Sawant and former Senate member Rajan Kolambekar led the charge, with support from Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) leader Anil Parab, highlighted the growing financial burden on students who narrowly missed out on merit-based seats.
