Maharashtra Higher and Technical Education Minister Chandrakant Patil has said the NEET-UG re-examination scheduled next month will delay admissions and academic session of engineering and pharmacy colleges in the state.

The Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell had planned to complete admissions by June-end, but the re-examination is scheduled for June 21, which "will further push the admission schedule," Patil told reporters on Wednesday, reported PTI.
