The Minister for higher and technical education, Vinod Tawde said a few things while issuing the government resolution for MHT-CET. Giving the main reason behind the decision of conducting MHT-CET from now on, he explained that because some private coaching institutes charge over Rs. 250,000/- for coaching of JEE, that is based on CBSE syllabus. This is why if the state conducted its own CET, then the students will only have to study the state syllabus and it will help the students who can't afford the coaching classes also those who come from rural areas.
