MHT CET 2018 will include questions from Class 11 syllabus as per the latest curricular received by the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE). Maharashtra (MH) State Common Entrance Test (CET) is conducted for admissions in engineering and pharmacy undergraduate courses. On 4 October 2017, the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) received a circular stating that the questions in MHT CET 2018 will be taken from the syllabus of class 11. The DTE’s proposal to not include the Class 11 syllabus till 2019 as students appearing next year have already been promoted to Class 12 has refused by “The State Higher and Technical Education Department”.
- Earlier, the government issued a resolution to change the exam pattern in order bring MHT CET 2018 at par with the nationally held Joint Entrance Examination (JEE). But nowhere was it mentioned that the syllabus would be revised. The DTE sent its proposal on 2nd June to make changes in the MHT CET syllabus to bring it at par with the nationally held JEE.
- Now, the Directorate of Technical Education Maharashtra State has issued the final notification regarding the changes in the exam pattern or including the Class 11 Syllabus in the MHT CET Test. In the notification, it is stated that the syllabus of Class 11 will also be concluded in the MHT CET test.

The proposal of negative marking is also been suggested to match the JEE criteria. CET Officials said that the candidates don’t have enough time to prepare for CET 2018.
The candidates get confused about how to do preparation of CET 2018 from the ambiguity over the syllabus. There needs to be more clarity about the pattern soon as students need time to prepare for the CET, said Subhash Joshi, trustee of Science Parivar classes.
