MAH CET 2015 result declared by DTE Maharashtra on March 25, 2015 has a list of 57224 test takers whereas the same DTE declared that 57012 candidates took the test
DTE has removed the attendance sheet across the sessions from its site when the controversy on faulty calculation of equated scores erupted

Ever heard of any exam result with more than test takers! Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) Maharashtra has made the impossible come true. MAH CET 2015 result declared by DTE Maharashtra on March 25, 2015 has a list of 57224 test takers whereas the same DTE declared that 57012 candidates took the test.

Wherefrom an addition of 212 MAH CET 2015 takers has been made could be shared only by DTE. The most interesting part is that after declaring the status of attendance in MAH CET 2015 exam, DTE has removed the attendance sheet across the sessions from its site when the controversy on faulty calculation of equated scores erupted and affected candidates threatened to move Mumbai High Court on the issue.

DTE released attendance statistics after exam

Releasing the Attendance statistics for MAH CET 2015 conducted on March 14 & 15, 2015 for admission to MBA/MMS programme 2015-17 in Maharashtra B schools, Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) Maharashtra shared region wise attendance for all the 4 sessions of the test.

The percentage of Maharashtra State (MS) candidates who took the exam as per the attendance sheet was as high as 94 to 97 at various test centres in Maharashtra.

MAH CET 2015 Result: 57224 test takers

The result of MAH CET 2015 declared by Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) Maharashtra has 57224 test takers and is placed on the links  http://www.dtemaharashtra.gov.in/MBA2015/download/MBA_PercentileAllData_... ;  http://www.dtemaharashtra.gov.in/MBA2015/OasisModules_Files/Files/17.pdf...

No further category wise bifurcation was released by DTE Maharashtra after certain inconsistency in result declaration was noticed by the test takers in calculation of percentile in MAH CET 2015. The dissatisfied test takers approached DTE Maharashtra to resolve the issue but the same is still stuck.

Registration Data changed

The earlier statistics released by DTE Maharashtra had 60363 candidates but the registration data released later along with the attendance sheet consisted of 60292 registered candidates.

The revised statistics of registration data released by DTE after the exam on March 15, 2015 indicates 55998 Maharashtra State category candidates and 4294 OMS category candidates. Actual test takers, as per the attendance sheet were 57012 out of 60292 who took MAH CET 2015 in multiple sessions on 2 days. Out of 57012 taking the test, number of Maharashtra State candidates stood at 53355 while OMS category candidates taking the test remained at 3657.  

Were the extra 212 test takers registered?

DTE Maharashtra has not issued any clarification on the anomaly of data. It has also not shared whether the extra 212 candidates included in the list of test takers were the registered candidates.

In fact DTE Maharashtra appears to have conducted MAH CET 2015 in a casual manner placing the future of thousands of candidates in jeopardy and with lack of proper planned process. This is the reason there were number of technical glitches, wrong questions leading to panic and dissatisfaction among the candidates in regard to award of percentile where high scorers have been awarded lower percentile in comparison to low scorers with higher percentile.
