MH-CET 2015 to be based on Maharashtra state syllabus

The Maharashtra Common Entrance Test (MH-CET) 2015, conducted for admissions to medical colleges in the state, would be based on the syllabus of Maharashtra state board, it was announced here on Monday.
Maharashtra Education Minister Vinod Tawde on Monday said here until previous year, this exam was based on the syllabus of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET).

Until 2012, MH-CET medical entrance exam was based on Maharashtra state board's Class 12 curriculum.

In 2013, the Maharashtra government adopted NEET syllabus but the Supreme Court scrapped NEET and the state conducted its own entrance test in May 2014.
