The admission process for all professional courses, including undergraduate and postgraduate engineering, health sciences, management, pharmacy, agriculture, law, teacher training, and architecture programmes has been started by the state common entrance test (CET) cell. The state common entrance test (CET) cell this year will conduct the admission process under the ‘single umbrella’ system.
According to the Hindustan Times, the new admission process will allow aspirants to simultaneously apply for multiple courses. The candidates will also be able to fill the registration form, get their documents verified and confirm their admission at one of the designated counselling centres or ‘SETU Suvidha Kendra’ set up by the state. The state CET cell has appointed Kalp Technologies Private Limited, a Pune-based firm, to carry out the pre-admission registration process.
Candidates can register themselves at the official and special portal for the centralised admission process (CAP) - www.maha2019cap.org. Candidates will be able to see the list of courses for which they want to apply while registering themselves. But they will later have to go the respective portals to separately register for these courses. An official from the state CET cell told the leading daily, “It’s a preliminary registration process for all the professional courses. However, since we have different agencies conducting CAP for different courses, the candidates will also be required to separately apply for these courses. We will schedule all these admissions in such a manner that the students do not lose an opportunity to be admitted to a course of their choice.”
The candidates who are going to apply for professional courses will have to scan and upload three documents — entrance examination form, examination hall ticket, and scorecard. The state has also designated 340 SETU Suvidha Kendras across the state to help the candidates register themselves online.
