Aaditya Thackeray: Aaditya Thackeray demands suspension of Maha CET chief over irregularities in entrance exam | Mumbai News

Mumbai: Days after the controversy over the NEET exam for undergraduate students, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray on Friday demanded suspension of State Common Entrance Test Cell commissioner MB Warbhuvan over irregularities in the entrance exam. Aaditya also demanded a high-level inquiry but said he was not demanding a re-run of the exam. Aaditya demanded that the CET cell publish the names of all toppers and their marks. Earlier, he had written to the state CET cell claiming that several students had approached him regarding issues with the percentile of their Maharashtra engineering entrance exam. Aaditya claimed that the exam contained 54 errors and demanded that the exam should be conducted in one round from now on instead of the current 24 rounds. Aaditya said a high-level inquiry must be initiated and the Shinde-led government must come clean about the irregularities in the MH-CET exam. He said he would meet Governor Ramesh Bais soon as he did not expect the state government to intervene and take remedial action. “We have raised issues related to the MH-CET mess in Maharashtra. The demands of the students are clear. No re-examination, but transparency. Students want their answer sheets. Students want to know their marks and the toppers, not just percentage marks. 1 CET exam was conducted in 24 batches. 1,425 objections were raised and for each objection, the CET cell is demanding Rs 1,000. The CET cell has admitted 54 errors in the exams. Some of them are like ‘none of the options in the MCQ were correct’. Who created these exams? Why should the commissioner not be suspended for this mess? How is the percentage decided? Why no marks and why no access to answer sheets? “Who decides easy and difficult exams?” Aaditya said in a post on X. “Obviously, the BJP and Shinde regime has no idea about the future of students but probably has an interest in the agency conducting the exams and money from objections. They only care about khoke (moneybags) and dhoke (treason),” Aaditya said in his post. Aaditya had earlier written to the state CET cell claiming that parents had been claiming that their wards’ results did not match their percentile. Moreover, some parents have raised this issue and also written to the CET cell but were told that the evaluation is automated and the percentiles are generated by the software and without human intervention, there is no chance of any error creeping in.
