CET, NEET counselling to take place simultaneously in Karnataka
The KEA will announce the final seat allotment for Engineering and Farm Sciences (agriculture, veterinary etc.,) courses on October 28, alongside holding the first round of counselling for UG-NEET.
The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) is planning to conduct counselling for the Common Entrance Test (CET) and the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) simultaneously. The KEA will announce the final seat allotment for Engineering and Farm Sciences (agriculture, veterinary etc.,) courses for the 2022-23 academic year on October 28, alongside holding the first round of counselling for UG-NEET.
Seat allotment for engg, professional courses to be out on Oct 28
As per a report published in The Hindu, the seat allotment for engineering and other professional courses will be declared on Friday, after 2 pm. Candidates can make the first choice till October 30 and pay fee and download admission ticket till November 2. November 3 is the last date for admission of choice-1 candidates.
Meanwhile, UG-NEET counselling is also ongoing and October 25 was the last date for applications. KEA is waiting for the UG medical seat matrix for state quota. KEA will conduct online document verification for these candidates from October 27 to November 3.
KEA usually conducts medical courses counselling first, followed by engineering courses counselling. However, owing to the COVID pandemic, the National Testing Agency (NTA) delayed the conduct of NEET exams last year and announced NEET-2021 results in October 2021, which delayed counselling for medical courses, leading to much chaos. KEA decided to conduct CET and NEET counselling simultaneously to avoid such confusions this year.
S Ramya, Executive Director for KEA, said: “We will conduct the UGCET and UG-NEET counselling simultaneously this year. The first round of the CET counselling for engineering courses will be held at first. Thereafter, we will start the UG-NEET counselling. After the first round of the UG-NEET counselling, we will complete the second and third round of the engineering counselling.”
