The career guidance and counselling session organised by The Hindu Education Plus provided a platform for students and parents to interact with experts from the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) and get their doubts and confusions cleared on the online seat allotment process for admission to professional courses.
Nagarajappa, the Nodal Officer of KEA, asked the students seeking quota on the basis of caste, participation in National Cadet Corps and sports activities to keep their certificates ready prior to the commencement of the process of document verification for admission to professional courses. If the marks cards have not been issued by the Pre-University Education Board by the time the document verification takes place, then the marks card issued on the letterhead of the college where they have passed the PU examination, along with the principal’s signature should be produced before the document verifying official, he said.
In reply to a student’s query, he said a seven-year study certificate, duly signed by the principal of the institution and counter-signed by the respective Block Education Officer should be furnished.
Those seeking admission under the super-numerary quota should keep the Income certificate ready.
He suggested the students and parents to keep watching the website of KEA at regular intervals to know the latest developments on seat allotment.
To another query on whether the ranking in IIT-JEE would be considered for admission to professional courses conducted by the KEA, Srinivas Rao Kunte, Principal of Jawaharlal Nehru National College of Engineering said, the seat allotment would be done by KEA only on the basis of the ranking secured in Common Entrance Test(CET).
