Will MHT CET 2020 be Cancelled?

MHT CET 2020, which was scheduled to begin from July 04, 2020, has been postponed. So far, CET Cell Maharashtra has not given any clarity on the new exam date for the entrance test. CET Cell planned to conduct the exam in multiple shifts, and the exam has been postponed due to an increase in the number of Covid-19 cases. Maharashtra is the worst affected state in India with the highest number of Covid-19 cases. Recently, the state government has also informed the Centre that it could not conduct the final-year exams. In such a scenario, students and parents raise doubts about conducting MHT CET 2020.

Is Maharashtra Government Planning to Conduct Remote Proctored Test for MHT CET?

Is there any Chance to Conduct MHT CET 2020 in September?

Is there any chance for the Cancellation of MHT CET 2020?
