Engineering/Technology PREAMBLE Govt. of Maharashtra has decided to conduct a single Combined Common Entrance Test for selection to all degree courses in Health Science, BVSc & AH, Engineering and Pharmacy courses. The Entrance Test will be held on Thursday 6th May 2010 at Mumbai and all the district headquarters in Maharashtra. The Competent Authority for the ‘MHT-CET-2010 Examination’ is Director of Medical Education and Research, Mumbai. However for the selection process there will be two separate Competent Authorities. For selection to Health Science courses, Director of Medical Education and Research, Mumbai will be the Competent Authority. For selection to Engineering and Pharmacy courses Director, Technical Education, Mumbai will be the Competent Authority. The application form for MHT-CET-2010 is common for all the above said courses. However, the information brochures for Health Science Courses, Engineering courses and Pharmacy course are separate. The results of MHT-CET 2010 will be made available at the website of Directorate of Medical Education and Research (http://www.dmer.org) and of the Directorate of Technical Education (http://www.dte.org.in). Competent Authority MHT-CET-2010 DTE Mumbai i MHT-CET 2010 Engineering/Technology C L A R I F I C A T I O N The Hon’ble Supreme Court (Bench of Hon. 7 judges) has delivered a judgment on 12/8/2005 in Civil Appeal No.5041/2005 in SLP (C) No.9932/2004 in respect of ‘rights and entitlement’ of Government as against Private Professional Educational Institutions. This judgment expects enactment of legislation by Central Government and in its absence, by State Government in this regard. This process has been initiated. However it is not certain, as of this date, as to when such legislation will come into force, as also its provisions. In the meanwhile, in terms of the observations of the Hon’ble Supreme Court from the aforesaid judgment, at least at this stage, it appears that State Government cannot claim any quota/seats in these colleges/institutions and consequently cannot effect admissions in these Private Engineering/Technology Colleges/institutions, except to the extent agreed by certain institutions, if any. It is therefore made clear that on the aforesaid interpretation and advice given to the State Government, this Brochure will not apply to the admissions to be effected in the academic year 2010-2011 at the Private Engineering/Technology Colleges/Institutions, in so far as undergraduate courses are concerned, with the above exception. However, it is made expressly clear that if, after issuance of this Brochure, either on account of any legislation or on account of any different interpretation/opinion/advice or due to any judgment/order passed by any court of law or even otherwise, the State Government is found entitled to any seat(s) in the Private Engineering/Technology Colleges/Institutions and consequently entitled to effect the admission(s) to such seat(s), the rules and regulations set out in this Brochure will be made applicable to such seat(s) and admission(s). In such event, a separate intimation will be issued with appropriate details. It is further clarified that separate information brochure will be issued at the time of filling of Application form for Centralized Admission form/option form giving details as to availability of number of seats, their institution wise, category wise distribution as also rules and regulations governing such distribution and consequent allotment of seats of Government as also Private Engineering/Technology Colleges / Institutions, if any. It is also made hereby clear in no uncertain terms that the same ‘Common Entrance Test (MHT-CET-2010)’ that is proposed to be conducted in terms of this Brochure will govern such admission(s), if any.
