How to apply if the child has not appeared for JEE/MHT-CET

Hi! No worries even if you haven't appeared for JEE or MHT-CET . There are still plenty of options available to apply for engineering or other professional courses in India.

1. Direct Admission in Private Colleges :

Many private engineering colleges and universities in Maharashtra and across India offer direct admission under the management quota or institutional level quota. These usually don't require JEE or CET scores, but eligibility is based on Class 12 marks (especially PCM – Physics, Chemistry, Maths). Some well-known private universities also offer their own entrance tests.

2. CUET (Common University Entrance Test) :

If you wants to pursue courses in central universities or private ones accepting CUET, this is a great alternative. CUET scores are accepted for B.Sc., BBA, BA, BCA, and even some engineering programs in private institutes.

3. Other State-Level Exams / College Specific Tests :

If eligible, you can appear for other state entrance exams like COMEDK (Karnataka), VITEEE (VIT University), SRMJEEE (SRM University), or UPES, which are accepted by various reputed universities and don’t require MHT-CET or JEE.

4. Diploma to Degree (Lateral Entry) :

If you has done or plans to do a polytechnic diploma, they can join BTech in the second year via lateral entry without needing JEE/CET.(Not offered by every college)

Finally, Always visit the official websites of the colleges you're interested in, as each may have its own admission guidelines and deadlines.
