Maharashtra CET cell forms task force, sends notice to YouTuber
The Story in Brief
The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell on Monday, 19 October 2026 set up a task force to monitor social media platforms and take legal action against accounts spreading false or misleading information about entrance exams, results and admissions. The cell also issued a legal notice to the YouTube channel Digital Master after its operator, identified as Shiva, allegedly posted a podcast announcing dates for MHT-CET 2027 exams, registration and results.
The CET cell clarified it has not announced any 2027 exam dates. The notice directs the channel to remove the video, publish a clarification and submit a written explanation with evidence. A copy has been sent to Google offices in Delhi and Mumbai. Students can report misleading content to [email protected].
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both outlets report the same facts in nearly identical wire-style copy: the task force, the notice to Digital Master, the denial of 2027 dates, and the complaint email. Hindustan Times leads with the task force formation and includes a direct quote from a CET cell official, Times of India leads with the warning of legal action and adds the detail about claims of centre changes and percentile-score promises. There is no conflict in facts and no discernible slant from either source: the coverage is uniform straight reporting. The practical takeaway for students is the official complaint email and the cetcell.mahacet.org website, which both sources name as the only reliable channel for updates.
The CET cell has not yet announced the MHT-CET 2027 examination dates.
