To ensure greater transperancy, the state government has decided to release the model answer key for MHT-CET 2009 within a few days of holding
the combined entrance exam for engineering, pharmacy and health science courses.
The move, which is a partial replication of the system followed by the Karnataka government in the conduct of the CET there, would enable students to make a fair assessment of how they performed in the exam even before the results are out.
The DMER is the competent authority for the combined entrance exam that annually draws more than two lakh engineering, medical and pharmacy degree course aspirants from across Maharashtra and outside the state. Last year, 56,881 engineering seats, 3,785 medical and 3,935 pharmacy seats were up for grabs.
In Karnataka, the CET candidates are allowed to carry a replica of the optical mark reader (OMR) answer sheet after writing their test. To facilitate this, the OMR answer sheet comprises two sheets. The top sheet is used for marking correct answers and later scanning and evaluation while the bottom sheet is returned to the candidate after the test.
The Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) posts the answer key within seven days of the exam to enable the candidates cross-check their answers and make an assessment of where they have stood. In case of any objection raised by either candidates, parents or lecturers, the same are entertained within three days of releasing the answer key and an expert committee takes the final call.
