“All admissions and academic activities for first-year degree courses will be governed by the provisions and guidelines issued by the Maharashtra government, Mumbai University, and the UGC from time to time.” — Dr Pooja Roundale, Director, Board of Examinations and Evaluation.
Online registration is compulsory for students applying to a sweeping range of programmes — from the conventional BA, BSc, and BCom to specialised offerings such as BSc Data Science, BSc Forensic Science, BSc Aeronautics, BSc Nautical Science, BA (Film, Television and New Media Production), Bachelor of Culinary Arts, and BPA in Music and Dance, among many others. Integrated five-year courses including BMS–MBA and B.Sc. Bioanalytical Science are also part of the centralised process.
Dr Roundale also clarified that admissions to the BMS programme under AICTE will follow a separate timeline, contingent on the results of the entrance examination conducted by the CET Cell.
All affiliated colleges and autonomous institutions have been directed to adhere strictly to the published schedule, factoring in their individual intake capacities, reservation policies, and course eligibility criteria.
