Students have to click on the website and register their names. After the registration, students will visit the Setu Suvidha Centres and get checked their documents, have their log in id, passwords. Students are expected to read the instructions on the website carefully and follow them scrupulously. There are 300 centres all over Maharashtra that will cater to the needs of students.

In Nagpur region Hingna has four, Chandrapur and Wardha have three, Gadchiroli, Kamptee, Sakoli, Ashti, Mohadi, Umred and Gondia have one each, Nagpur Rural have six, Nagpur Urban have five centres.
In Amravati also Akola, Pusad and Washim have one centre each, Amravati has six, Shegaon and Buldhana have three centres each, Chikhli, Malkapur and Yavatmal have two centres each. Till last year, there were separate centres operating for all the professional courses. After the setting up of CET Cell, Government has gradually started bestowing powers upon the Cell to reduce the loads of the respective departments. Under this, the State Government is taking the help of private institutions. This will not only reduce the financial burden of Government departments but also decrease the physical and mental burden. Of course, CET Cell will be empowered more than the other departments as far as admissions are concerned.
