KEA clears confusion over admission to professional courses

Updated on: Wednesday, July 18, 2012

The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has issued new guidelines for CET rank holders to clear the confusion over seat option entry and other online processes of admission to professional courses.

KEA nodal officer for CET Mangalore helpline centre C Suresh Thunga admitted that there were a few initial hiccups in the online counselling process and said, "These confusions had cropped up because the online counselling process was introduced for the first time. Students should study the seat matrix table thoroughly before exercising their option."

The colleges which are not in the seat matrix are likely to be added to the list as soon as the college authorities resolve their problems. Hence, the candidates should always be in touch with the seat matrix. "If a candidate has already entered the options, he/she can modify it before July 19," he added.

He advised students not to link the final seat allotment with the mock allotment. "The final allotment of seats will be announced on July 25. KEA will send a message to the candidates' mobile number or email ID. If a candidate does not get the message, he/she should contact KEA immediately," he added.

Candidates should go through the fee structure published on the KEA website. The fee shall be paid only by way of demand drafts bought in favour of KEA payable at the respective helpline centres. "The candidates with their parents must be present at the helpline centre to receive the admission order without fail," he added.

They should bring CET admission ticket, green card and verification slip issued at the time of verification of documents to collect the admission order.

The candidates who had appeared for previous year's CET should bring their original certificates and a copy of their transfer certificate.

Those who are willing to join government medical colleges should bring an affidavit for Rs 100 on e-stamp paper for compulsory rural service.

The course option process for CET rank holders had started on July 12 and will end on July 19.
