Amidst outrage and huge protests by repeaters of CET-2021 and their parents, the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has postponed the document verification of CET-2022 slated to begin on August 5. The KEA will announce the new date shortly.
The KEA had announced the CET-2022 results on July 30 and decided to conduct the document verification from August 5 in the online mode. However, since Saturday, hundreds of repeater students and parents have been continuously protesting in front of the KEA and Higher Education Minister’s residence, and have said they are planning to challenge the decision of the KEA to not consider their II PU marks in the CET ranking in the High Court.
The repeaters have announced their plan to begin an indefinite fast from August 4. Veerabhadrappa P.M., a parent from Holalkere, Chitradurga district, said in a press conference on Monday, “We will wait for two to three days for the government’s decision to resolve the problem. If the government fails to solve this problem, we will launch an indefinite fast at Freedom Park.
