While official confirmation and the complete notification are awaited, registrations for the upcoming entrance tests are expected to commence soon on the official website.
Following the multi-phase exam patterns used previously, the entrance tests for engineering, technology, and pharmacy courses (B.E./B.Tech) across Maharashtra are expected to follow similar guidelines.
Key Exam Highlights & Pattern:
