All-party meeting decides to maintain status quo

General Merit category students will have to compete with their counterparts on an all-India basis

Minority colleges cannot hold a separate entrance test

BANGALORE: A separate quota for students in the General Merit category from Karnataka cannot be evolved and they will have to compete with their counterparts at the national level for 35 per cent of seats set aside under the Karnataka Professional Educational Institutions (Regulation of Admission and Determination of Fee) Bill, 2006.

Minority professional colleges will have to join non-minority college managements to conduct a single entrance test. They cannot hold a separate test as announced.

The State Government will ensure that the test is not held. The marks secured in the Common Entrance Test (CET) and the entrance test of private college managements will be considered to decide on merit for admission to MBBS and BDS courses.
