The Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) has published the provisional answer keys to Common Entrance Test 2024, which had turned controversial over several out-of-syllabus questions. Any objections to it should be submitted before May 7.
S. Ramya, Executive Director of KEA, said in a press release on Monday that provisional answers keys of Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology subjects of CET-2024 had been published on the KEA website http://kea.kar.nic.in for the information of the candidates.
“Objections, if any, to the published provisional answer keys, may be submitted only through the KEA portal by selecting the appropriate link on the KEA website with justification in PDF format from 11 a.m. on April 30 to 11 a.m. on May 7. While filing the objections, candidates should indicate the subject, version code, and question number. Objections without justification or without version code or question number will not be considered,” according to the release.
Following the instructions by the Department of Higher Education, the KEA will exempt key answers for 50 out-of-syllabus questions including 11 in Biology, nine in Physics, 15 each in Mathematics and Chemistry, and it decided to mark ‘X’ in front of the questions.
The decision of the subject experts committee will be final in finalising the answer key, Ms. Ramya has clarified.
The KEA is planning to announce the KCET-2024 result by the end of May and preparations have already been made for the assessment of the answer sheets.
Amidst of all these developments, the KEA has submitted the report to the government on Monday, on the basis of the objections filed by the students, parents and educational institutions about the out of syllabus questions asked in the KCET-2024, which was conducted recently.
