The minister declared the KCET 2023 results on June 15, 2023.
He said, "The decision to hike engineering fee by 10% was taken by the previous BJP government. In February, there was an official order. It was brought to our notice when we came to power, we examined how it was done. As per procedure, the fee hike was done in deliberation with private colleges. It can't be reversed. Any decision to undo the same will cause confusion among students,” The Times of India reported.
