The Common Entrance Test (CET) has created a dilemma for several First Year Junior College (FYJC) aspirants who are struggling to decide whether to appear for it. Registrations for the test have commenced and so has the confusion surrounding it. The foremost concern for parents and students is that if they do take the test, what if they score less than their SSC marks?
It is for the first time that FYJC admissions will be determined by a CET as the SSC results were declared without an exam amid the Covid-19 pandemic. As per the regulations, those with a CET score will be given preference in FYJC admissions, but the test is optional. Those without a CET score will be eligible for admissions on their SSC score but their turn will come after the CET-based admissions. But the rest of the admission process is still shrouded in mystery.
