Bidar boy who missed CET over janivara row given 2 options
Bengaluru: The Bidar boy, who missed his maths exam in the Common Entrance Test 2025 after he was asked to remove his janivara, has been given two options to calculate his CET rank. As per the expert committee formed by the govt, the maths mark can be taken as an average of his physics and chemistry marks. Minister for higher education M C Sudhakar, meanwhile, also put forth the suggestion that a maths retest can be conducted for the student. The student was asked to choose between the two. "The student's mother has expressed interest in taking the average marks of physics and chemistry. She reportedly said the student is not in a state to take a retest. However, the student/parent is yet to give any written statement. We will wait for them to give their decision in writing and do the needful," said H Prasanna, executive director, Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA).

The principal and a second division clerk of the college were suspended after controversy erupted. As per the report of the Bidar deputy commissioner, KEA dress code does not mention janivara as prohibited. Only metal ornaments, according to the rules, are prohibited.
