Here is another glitch to the admission process of law colleges of Maharashtra. Several candidates may lose their allotted seats in the fourth round as the Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell of the state will now run the fourth round again after it found faults in the automated seat allocation system.
The CET Cell has issued a notice explaining that it found ‘machine errors’ in the allocation process of the seat. The move came following several complaints from several candidates.
