Following a directive from the Aurangabad Bench of the Bombay High Court, the state's CET cell issues a circular, granting eligibility to students who completed graduation through open universities with preparatory programs to participate in the CET for the LLB three-year program. The court order allows these candidates to fill the CET application form and engage in the centralized admission process for the law course. Last year, the CET cell had relaxed norms, enabling open university students to apply for the law program.
