DTE forms Review Committee
Thousands of candidates taking MAH CET 2015 approached MBAUniverse.com complaining technical glitches and number of wrong questions and questions with wrong answer options. Although at a few centres on March 14, 2015, the first day of MAH CET 2015, DTE Maharashtra rescheduled the exam for March 15, 2015, the second day of the test but there were many wrong questions and answers in all the 4 sessions.
As a result when the candidates approached DTE Maharashtra with their grievances, initially DTE didn’t budge from its stand. The pressure continued to mount and number of candidates also made it a point to approach and meet Mr Vinod Tawde, Hon’ble Minister for Education Govt of Maharashtra as well Mr Devendra Fadnavis , Hon’ble Chief Minister of Maharashtra.
After meeting and reporting the issues faced during conduct of MAH CET 2015 to Dr S K Mahajan, Director DTE Maharashtra, on March 18 MAH CET 2015 test takers shared and asked for support from MBAUniverse.com “We had meeting with Mahajan Sir and seen their instant wake up they framed committee for this MH MBA CET 2015 issues. We need your support in this campaign” MBAUniverse.com is always committed to stake its support for a just cause and therefore carried the matter forward.

DTE: No injustice to any one
Candidates are now keeping their fingers crossed and looking forward for positive result from DTE Maharashtra as the problems were more than talking about the wrong questions. There were the issues of technical problem at various test centres during the conduct of MAH CET 2015 that could affect adversely their scores.
Dr S K Mahajan says that the decision not to evaluate such questions has been arrived at unanimously and has shown commitment that no injustice would be allowed to be done to any candidate due to the discrepancies in the test paper of MAH CET 2015. However, many test takers think that there are even more wrong questions and wrong answer options. In their view more questions should qualify for ‘no evaluation’ and they should also be compensated for technical glitches in the exam while awarding marks in MAH CET 2015. MBAUniverse.com is of the view that DTE Maharashtra should scrutinize well all the probable mistakes in the test paper before awarding marks and percentile to the eligible candidates.
To help out MAH CET 2015 candidates, MBAUniverse.com has started unique initiative to provide LIVE MAH CET 2015 Preparation and Results update, news, Cut-offs, Expert guidance, DTE Admission Counselling and GD PI Updates for Admission 2015.
