MHT CET will not have negative markings
This led the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) to seek clarity over the 2018 exam pattern.
The MHT CET for engineering will not have negative markings and will be conducted on the lines of JEE from 2018 onwards.
The difficulty level of the exam would be at par with the JEE. Students appearing for the state entrance test will not have to worry about negative marking. There will however be no change in the marking pattern for the CET. The only change would be in respect to the difficulty level of the exam which would be at par with JEE. Students will have to study the syllabus of both class 11 and 12 just like JEE.
The
government
had
issued
a
GR
announcing
the
change
in
the
pattern
of
the
entrance
test
in
March
2017.
While
the
GR
stated
that
the
exam
would
be
conducted
'at
par
with
JEE',
there
was
no
clarity
about
the
detailed
rules,
including
the
one
on
negative
marking.
This
led
the
Directorate
of
Technical
Education
(DTE)
to
seek
clarity
over
the
2018
exam
pattern.
Parents
of
aspirants
who
were
worried
about
the
exam
pattern
had
also
written
to
various
officials
in
the
last
few
months.
Everything apart from the difficulty level and syllabus will remain the same. The GR issued in the month of March is very clear. Parents need not worry as the overall pattern of the exam will remain the same, officials said.
