Students have taken to social media to plead with the Maharashtra Common Entrance Test (CET) cell to avoid further delays in the admission dates for B. Pharmacy and Pharm D programs. The admission process for both degree and diploma courses in pharmacy has been stalled due to pending approvals from the Pharmacy Council of India for numerous educational institutions.
Despite ongoing registration efforts by the CET cell, the subsequent admission procedures have come to a standstill, causing significant anxiety among students and their parents. Students have written to the CET cell, urging them to conduct admissions based on the available seats, which total over 70,000 in Maharashtra.
Students Express Frustration on Social Media:
Rajesh Potdar, an engineering student, expressed his concerns on X, saying, “We kindly request @CETCELL and @President_PCI to proceed with the admissions without further delay. This is a request from thousands of students waiting to secure their pharmacy admissions.”

He added, “Today is September 20, and once again, the B. Pharmacy & Pharm D admission dates were extended yesterday. I sincerely request @CETCELL & @President_PCI to clarify the reason for these extensions, as thousands of pharmacy students are under immense stress.”

Yash Pawar added, “It’s September 19 already @CETCELL, why are the dates being extended every single time? The CET cell helpline suggests we should contact the CET cell office, but no one picks up calls at the office.”
Anurag Vishrojwar, a concerned student, shared his thoughts, saying, “CET Cell, why are you delaying the B. Pharm CAP rounds? If there are issues, please communicate with the students instead of causing panic among us. We’ve already experienced four extensions—why is there yet another one? Please reply to this tweet.”

Aditi Patel, another aspirant, expressed frustration, saying, “Pharmacy registration dates have been extended four times now! Why is this happening? Why are we not given any information about it? The provisional list was released but then deleted! Engineering colleges have already begun, and pharmacy registration is not yet completed!”
