Admission of institutional and management quota has started before the end of the rounds of admission procedures carried out by the CET cell by reputed educational institutions in Pune, which is expected to proceed as per rule 13. However, Yuva Sena joint secretary Kalpesh Yadav had complained to Sardesai about educational institutions including the Pune Institute of Computer Technology (PICT) admitting students based on large financial transactions. Following the complaint, Sardesai on Thursday issued a circular and ordered the director of the DTE in this regard.

The circular stated, “By reviewing the admission process in educational institutions, institutional and management admissions will be carried out strictly as per the provisions of rule 13 of the admission process information booklets”. Sardesai also directed to ensure that the proceedings are effectively monitored.
