Lower pass percentage brings down Common Entrance Test eligibility in Karnataka
Bengaluru: The number of students eligible for admission to courses through the Common Entrance Test (CET) has decreased compared to last year. Minister for higher education MC Sudhakar attributed this to the reduced pass percentage among II pre-university science students. This year, 2,62,195 students are eligible for engineering courses, compared to over 2.7 lakh last year. Similarly, a little under 2 lakh students are eligible for BNYS (Bachelor of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences), as against almost 2.2 lakh last year. In BSc (Agri), the number is down more than 20,000 to 1.9 lakh. "The reduction is because the number of students who passed II PU was less than last year. There was a difference of 9,000," said the minister. In exam 1, in 2024, 2,46,744 students passed in science. This year, the number was 2,31,461. Seat blocking Reacting to the seat-blocking scam of CET 2024, Sudhakar said he is yet to go through the chargesheet. "We need to go through the details of the chargesheet. In case we don't find it satisfactory, we will take legal opinion on what can be done next," he said. TOI had reported that the chargesheet filed by Malleswaram police states the brokers said colleges weren't involved. The chargesheet states that even though option entries were made, no students were admitted to these seats. While the accused used the credentials of students who excelled in other exams, they said the students were also unaware of the scam. Janivara controversy The student who didn't write the maths paper of CET because he wasn't permitted to wear the sacred thread (Janivara) received a rank of 2.06 lakh. He secured around 57% marks in the II PU exam. He was given the option of writing the paper again or taking the average of marks of his other papers, and he chose the latter. Spot ranks for those who didn't enter marks Candidates whose CET 2025 results haven't been announced because of errors in entering their registration number, will be given an opportunity to upload their marks online starting Monday. Several candidates have submitted representations stating that even though they passed II PUC / class 12 exams, their CET results weren't published. "It was earlier announced that the II PUC / class 12 marks would be obtained directly from the respective education boards before announcing the CET 2025 results, and candidates were required to enter the correct registration number. However, some failed to enter the correct number, because of which their results couldn't be processed," Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) said in a press release. From May 26, an online link will be activated for such candidates to submit their II PU / class 12 marks along with the correct registration number and mark sheet. Once KEA verifies and confirms these marks with the respective boards, the candidates will be issued spot ranks starting May 29. 10 Helplines The number of helplines in KEA was increased from five to 10 last year. The call centres will work from 8am to 8pm.

Most Karnataka Common Entrance Test toppers eye top medical colleges, await National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test results
Bengaluru/Mangaluru: While candidates and colleges celebrate top ranks in the CET 2025 results announced Saturday, many toppers across streams are now turning their attention to the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET-UG), hoping to secure top scores and admission to premier medical colleges. For instance, Akshay M Hegde, from Alva's PU College, Moodbidri, Dakshina Kannada, secured first rank in BSc (Agriculture) and ranked within the top 34 in other streams. He said, "Though I secured top ranks in several CET streams, my focus is solely on NEET. I'm expecting a good rank in NEET, and my dream is to join one of the top medical colleges in the country. For now, I don't plan to opt for any CET seats." For Harishraj DV, a student of Narayana E Techno School, Yelahanka, CET was merely a 'practice exam'. "My preparation was focused entirely on NEET-UG, and I'm not interested in taking up CET seats. I treated CET as a practice exam before NEET," said Harishraj, who secured first rank in nursing and veterinary, third rank in BPharma and DPharma, and sixth in agriculture. Saphal S Shetty, of Expert PU College, Valachil, Mangaluru, secured top rank in various CET streams, including third in BNYS (Bachelor of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences) and veterinary, and eighth in BPharma and DPharma. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No dark spots, 10 years younger!

My parents are in the medical field and I want to follow in their footsteps." Similarly, Nuthan Krishna Bhairavesh D, of Excellent PU College, Moodbidri, who also scored above 99th percentile in JEE, has his eyes set on medical education. "I'm confident of getting a good NEET-UG rank. I aspire to study at All India Institute Of Medical Sciences, Delhi," he said. He secured fourth rank in BNYS, fifth in BPharma and DPharma, and sixth in veterinary and nursing. Having appeared for both NEET-UG and JEE alongside CET, most students have their preferences clear. Narendra L Nayak, chairman of Expert Group of Institutions, pointed out that the courses offered through CET are limited. "All those bright students who dream about medical education will never take any subject other than their passion. Entrance tests like CET, which happen a few weeks before NEET, help them mentally prepare for the medical entrance test, giving real-time experience," he said. Mohammed Sadakath, principal of Alva's PU College, said, "Over the years, I've observed that most students who top CET rarely opt for those seats. Their first priority is always medicine, and they remain committed to that path."

This year, a total of 2,75,677 students cleared CET: 2,62,195 in engineering stream, 1,98,679 for BNYS, 2,14,588 for BSc (Agri), 2,18,282 for BVSc, 2,66,256 for B-Pharma, 2,66,757 for Pharma-D, and 2,08,171 eligible for BSc Nursing course.

In CET-2024, a total of 2.75 lakh students were eligible for engineering and this time the same has come down to 2,62,195. This trend is similar in all the other streams. Dr. Sudhakar said it is mainly because of the dip in science pass percentage in the II PUC exams. 'Compared to last year, the number of students cleared the II PUC science stream has witnessed a dip and that has impacted on the CET eligibility,' he stated. In 2024, as many as 2,46,744 cleared II PU Science stream in annual exam-1, but this year, that number has dipped to 2,31,461 in annual exam 1 and in annual exam-2, around 18000 cleared science stream, but not all registered for CET. Wrong entry by 10,000 students Despite creating awareness, at least 10,000 students have entered wrong data which delayed the results. For those who have not received their CET results because of errors in the entries, KEA will provide a link to upload the marks from May 26 and spot ranks will be issued to such students. Helpline Considering the increase in calls to the helpline and complaints about not addressing the calls properly, the KEA has extended the helpline from 8 am to 8 pm on all seven days, including holidays.
