Maharashtra Common Entrance Test (MH-CET) cell has already released the information brochure for admissions to various undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) professional courses. However, students who are aiming for Bachelor of Architecture (B Arch) seats fear that they may lose seats in top universities.
The aspirants were allowed to register using either their Joint Entrance Examination (JEE-Mains) or the National Aptitude Test in Architecture (NATA) scores, till the 2021 academic year. Though this year the Council of Architecture (CoA) have stated that JEE scores will only be accepted for admissions to Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), National Institutes of Technology (NITs) and central universities. While the other universities will only accept NATA scores.

For the same reason, the aspirants have now approached the state Directorate of Technical Education (DTE). They are seeking a year’s extension to the old eligibility criteria. It allowed students to apply for admissions with their JEE scores.
JEE and NATA exams were held in multiple sessions this year. It was done to give students the option of choosing the best score out of the multiple sessions. Not only this, but it also gave them an option of a back session in case they missed the previous session due to COVID-19.
