BANGALORE: Barring an error in the Biology paper, the Government's Common Entrance Test (CET) commenced on Tuesday with 62,175 candidates appearing for the Biology test and 79,200 taking the Mathematics test at 186 examination centres in Karnataka. The error, according to students, related to a question appearing in Versions-A1 and C4 of the Biology paper. The question read "The World Biodiversity Day is celebrated annually on" and the four answer choices offered were "June 5, December 29, April 22 and September 16." The correct answer was "May 22," which was not mentioned in the paper, the students said. The CET Cell told The Hindu that students could raise objections and point out the mistakes after the answer keys were published by May 15. In Bangalore, 17,035 candidates took the Biology test in 49 examination centres, while 24,488 candidates appeared for the Mathematics test.
