While students of most degree courses are appearing for their term exams, those aspiring for seats in professional courses such as engineering, MBA, law, etc. are still waiting for admissions, thanks to the delay in declaring results of the Common Entrance Test (CET). After the results are announced, the Common Admission Process (CAP) will be held to confirm admissions which is expected to take another month.   
  
The Maharashtra CET Cell conducts multiple CETs which determine admission to various professional courses across the state. 

This year, students had to wait for CETs as the state had  not given the go-ahead to conduct the same. The dates were finally announced last month and the tests were held from September 15 to October 5. The candidates are now waiting for results without which the centralised admissions process cannot begin. As a result, even as colleges have begun, first-year classes of different professional courses are yet to take off.
