Private colleges to conduct separate entrance test

Staff Reporter

Managements reject single-day CET as `unilateral decision'

BANGaLORE: Professional college seat aspirants may have to take separate entrance tests for government and management quota seats this year too.

Hours after the Government announced the date for its Common Entrance Test (CET), private college managements announced that they would conduct a separate entrance test. The test, that will be conducted by the Consortium of Medical, Engineering and Dental Colleges of Karnataka (COMED-K), is likely to be held in May. But the exact dates will be announced later, according to COMED-K officials.

The managements have rejected the single-day CET as a "unilateral decision" of the State Government. For the colleges, the announcement was a bitter pill after the Government went ahead with its order on the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA).

Their main grouse was that the KEA lacked autonomy, and was not an independent agency.

A single test could have avoided the need for a separate selection process.
