No CET for admissions to B.Sc. courses

The decision was taken on Tuesday
The Karnataka government has decided not to make the Common Entrance Test (CET) mandatory for candidates hoping to secure admission to B.Sc. courses. Deputy Chief Minister and Higher Education Minister C.N. Ashwath Narayan said the decision was taken on Tuesday as many second year pre-university (II PU) and college principals had pointed out that candidates who wanted to pursue Pure Sciences did not prepare for CET this academic year, and it would be unfair to expect them to start preparations now. The Higher Education Department was mulling over making CET mandatory for admission to undergraduate science courses as the II PU examinations were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “Colleges and universities must now consider the class 12 or II PU marks allotted by the respective boards to admit students,” an official added.
