BENGALURU: Dr S Kumar, executive secretary, Comed-K (Consortium of Medical, dental and Engineering Colleges of Karnataka)
Contrary to what the state government had announced, Comed-K said that it will go ahead with the counseling for the UG Entrance Test and will not wait for the Common Entrance Test counseling to kick off.
Announcing that Comed-K released the results of the UG Entrance Test 2025 one day in advance to the earlier announced date, Dr S Kumar said at Times of India's mission admission education expo that it will go ahead with counseling.
'CET has its own problems. KEA cannot start counseling for engineering without doing first round medical. To do first round medical, they have to wait for All India counseling. Additionally, they have to follow reservations.
To provide all this is a mammoth task. We have it simple: you have your scores, here is your rank, make your choice,' he said.
'What happens if a student of Karnataka takes a seat through Comed-K, and then lands up with a seat in KEA? For the last five years, any student producing the allotment letter of KEA has got a hundred percent fee refund. No injustice is done to any students if the state. There is no logic in waiting for CET,' he said. 'Karnataka colleges lose precious seats waiting for their irregular timelines. So please don't fall their sloganeering,' he added.
He also added that there will be four rounds of counseling this time.

Indian Railways invites applications for K-Ride MD post to fast-track Bengaluru Suburban Rail project
BENGALURU: After a long gap to speed up completion of the Suburban Rail project, Indian Railways has put out an advertisement, calling for applications for the post of Managing Director of Rail Infrastructure Development Company (Karnataka) Limited (K-Ride). Experts and officials in K-Ride said this is a welcome and much-needed move to pace up the project. The Railways has listed details of the post which is for a duration of three years. According to K-Ride sources, the only time the department had a full time managing director was in 2021, when Amit Garg held the post. After that, many IAS officers have been posted, holding concurrent charge. 'With Railways inviting applications, it shows the push. But this is also late -- when the foundation for the project was laid in June 2022 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he had assured its completion in 40 months, and the term ends in October 2025. However, the MD's official posting will take at least another two months as the last date to submit applications for the post is July 5, 2025,' the source said. The government has listed out criteria details for the post: The applicant should not be above 55 years of age as on March 31, 2025. The applicant should have a minimum of 25 years experience of which at least five years should be in Senior Administrative Grade. The applicant should also have five years experience or more in the planning/ design/ execution of railway-related infrastructure projects. The criterion also stated: 'It is desirable to have the experience of projects report preparation, sanction, resource mobilization and coordination with other ministers and stake holders.' Experts also pointed out that the state and central governments have not taken serious note of the need to execute the project. The long delays have only made Bengaluru's traffic management worse.
