In what gives a ray of hope for students from non-state board schools aspiring for First Year Junior College (FYJC) admissions, the Bombay High Court has sought clarity from the state, about whether the Common Entrance Test (CET) can have papers from different boards based on their curricula. The CET is scheduled for August 21.
Since its inception, the CET has been surrounded by ambiguity and doubts. There are 16 lakh state board students, which are more than those in other boards combined and hence the CET is based on the state board curriculum.
