1.14 lakh applications received by Dept of Technical Education; admission cut-offs may drop

The results of the Maharashtra Common Entrance Test (MH-CET) are now out, and the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) has seen a decrease in the number of applications for engineering colleges compared to previous years. Officials from the DTE have also hinted that the cut-offs for engineering admissions might go down.

While it may be too early to say the stream is losing its sheen, the fact is that the downward trend has been evident since last year, when around 2,000 engineering seats were left unfilled in colleges across the state.
Besides colleges in the city, Mumbai and Nagpur, 100 colleges in the state were unable to fill their seats last year.
