Fadnavis Orders Forensic Audit of Flagged MHT-CET Centres
Maharashtra’s chief minister ordered a careful investigation of some MHT-CET exam centres.
These centres were flagged because people raised concerns about possible cheating.
A delegation member named Dinesh said the group had reported problems for two years.
He alleged that some students paid ₹15–15 lakh to receive 100 percentile scores.
He also said honest students were treated unfairly.
According to him, some students with lower scores entered top colleges by paying money.
The group said it visited exam officials many times and filed a court case last year.
That public-interest case was dismissed, and the new audit will examine the flagged centres.
