Overview
- Congress, which held a press conference Tuesday, alleged at least 22 cases where students with roughly 35–40% in Class 10 or 12 scored near‑perfect MH‑CET percentiles.
- The State CET Cell said the circulating merit images are not its list and cited telltale errors such as application IDs starting with “PCM” instead of the official “EN.”
- Officials defended the exam as a computer‑based test run in multiple shifts with different question papers, arguing this structure makes large‑scale manipulation unlikely.
- Maheshwar Peri, an early sharer of the images, said he used AI tools to blur and alter names and numbers to mask identities, which complicates independent verification.
- No outside inquiry has been announced, leaving applicants and families uncertain about next steps and any changes to 2025 admissions based on the results.
