Bangalore (Karnataka Information) :
The Karnataka Common Entrance Test (CET) was conducted by the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) on 18th and 19th April 2024. The CET Exam was conducted for 4 subjects (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology). More than 3 lakhs students appeared in the exam across the State.
Pursuant to the exams, news reports have mentioned that a number of questions from the papers were allegedly out of syllabus of CET. Representations have also been received that many questions were not from the syllabus and that this has affected the students. Demands for providing grace marks or re - conducting the exam have also been made. The KEA has given students an opportunity to raise objections to the questions upto the 27th of April. The KEA has been asked to submit a detailed report in this regard to the Government.
In the meantime, the matter has been examined by the government and a committee of experts for each of the 4 subjects has been set up by government to ascertain the number of questions that are out of the syllabus of CET. The expert committee has been mandated to provide its report immediately.
KEA will act in the interests of the students who have appeared for the CET exam. Based on the report of the expert committee, a further decision will be taken in this regard. The interests of the students will be utmost priority and no hardship will be caused to the students.
