Hundreds of PhD-holder men and women on Wednesday boycotted the common entrance test for research fellowships awarded by three institutes under the Maharashtra government in various cities alleging a question paper leak, a charge denied by the Savitribai Phule Pune University. The CET was scheduled to take place in Pune, Nagpur, Kolhapur and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar earlier in the day but hundreds of students boycotted the exam and staged demonstrations outside the exam centre.
The research fellowships are awarded by Babasaheb Ambedkar Research and Training Institute (BARTI), Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj Research, Training and Human Development Institute (SARTHI) and MahaJyoti. BARTI and MahaJyoti are autonomous institutes under the Department of Social Justice and Special Assistance and the OBC class Bahujan Welfare Department, respectively, of the Maharashtra government. SARTHI is also an autonomous body under the state government.
