Common Entrance Test (CET) 2023, which is the gateway to professional courses in Karnataka, began on May 20. The test is being conducted in 592 centres across Karnataka, including 121 centres in Bengaluru.
Students were worried that the traffic restrictions in the CBD in Bengaluru for the swearing-in ceremony at Kanteerava Stadium of the new government would cause snarls on the roads and pose hurdles to them reaching examination centres on time. Bengaluru Traffic Police (BTP) and Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) had issued an advisory asking students appearing for CET in 11 exam centres around the stadium to reach their centres by 8.30 a.m., much ahead of schedule.
Most students reached the exam centres on time, without any hurdles on May 20 morning. Some reached exam centres even before 8.30 a.m.
