Karnataka planning to make CET a computer-based test: Sudhakar

The State government is mulling over holding the Karnataka Common Entrance Test, the gateway to professional courses in the State, electronically on computers. The Minister noted that if the CET were to be held in the CBT mode, the State government would have to invest more in the infrastructure and the available resources should also be effectively utilised. ‘Students should answer out-of-syllabus questions too’ Commenting on the controversy that plagued CET-2024, when 50 questions across four subjects were ruled ‘out of syllabus’ and not considered for students’ assessment, Dr. Sudhakar said that from the next year, students would have to answer even those questions that are not in the syllabus, but require application of mind, in the CET. App for filling CET applications The KEA will soon come out with a mobile application that will give information about filling CET application, as several students, particularly those in rural areas, fill out their online applications at cyber centres and make errors while entering their information, Dr. Sudhakar said. Therefore, the final seat matrix of engineering courses will be released on Monday, following which students will be allowed to make option entry,” the Minister said.
