While the merit list shows 2508 students have been excluded from the first round of admission, the admission dashboard mentions only 59 colleges have been approved by the CET Cell so far.

    As per a report from Hindustan Times, Maharashtra’s higher and technical education department has notified that 103 out of 352 law colleges in Maharashtra lack the Bar Council of India’s approval. The higher education department has asked these colleges to submit approval applications before they are allowed to participate in the MH CET LAW counselling. The lack of BCI approval for these colleges is likely to cause a delay in the admission process.

    103 out of 352 Law Colleges in Maharashtra Lack BCI Approval

    After the BCI directive, the higher education department of Maharashtra reviewed BCI approval status for all law colleges in the state, which revealed that approval of 103 law colleges had expired. As per the report, initially, the government was not keen to allow these colleges to participate in the admission process. However, after internal consultation, it was concluded that it would affect the students who took LLB CET, and thousands of law seats would stay vacant. Considering this, the department has given these 103 colleges a window of six months to obtain BCI approval.
