Will there be admissions to CPS courses in 2024?
The answer to this question is a bit tricky and it all depends on government of Maharashtra as well as the Hon Bombay High court’s Orders which is seized of the matter. However it must be mentioned that with NMC withdrawing its circular regarding derecognition of CPS courses its safe to assume that as of now CPS courses have a good possibility of starting again. But it must be emphasized that till the Hon Bombay High court doesnt give its final verdict regarding these courses we need to wait and watch before coming to a conclusion.
