Thousands of students will be inconvenienced as the PGCET and DCET examinations slated for next week have been postponed by a week. This is due to a delay in printing of question papers and other confidential material by the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA).
KEA, in a press release, said PGCET-2019, the entrance exam for admission to MBA, MCA, M.E. / Vl. tech / M.Arch courses, which was to be held on July 13 and 14, has been postponed to July 20 and 21.
The DCET-2019 exam, gateway for students to bag entry into the third semester of engineering courses, has been postponed to July 21. Around 70,000 candidates have registered for both examinations.
