The Common Entrance Test (CET) dates for 2010 have been announced. With students across the state preparing for the biggest examinations of their lives — the Class 12 and PUC board exams and CET — the government on Monday made it known when the red-letter day is.
Higher education minister Aravind Limbavali said CET will be held on April 28 and 29, 2010 (see above for timetable). The Kannada language test for Gadinadu and Horanadu candidates is on April 30.

MORE CET COUNSELLING CENTRES

Bringing respite to thousands of candidates, the education department has delivered what it promised to do — to have more CET counselling centres. “Three more counselling centres in Mangalore, Shimoga and Davangere will be operational from 2010,” said Limbavali.
So far, CET counselling has been held in Bangalore, Hubli and Gulbarga. The Karnataka Examinations Authority did this to ease the burden on candidates, who have to travel from faraway places to Bangalore to participate in the counselling.
According to Limbavali, the CET coaching centres through EduSat, which were inaugurated a month ago, is a hit. “The number has increased 102 centres. Also, 50 other areas are asking for such centres,” said Limbavali. He iterated the government’s previous stand, that of having a single CET.

DEVELOPMENT OF COLLEGES

On development of colleges in the state, Limbavali said 175 degree, engineerng and diploma colleges have been planned. Of these, 32 colleges are undergoing infrastructural development and land has to be acquired for 12 colleges.
“The process is going on, and work on 50 colleges will start in a week. KHB, PWD and RITES have been roped in as construction agencies. But excess cash was released in Ramnagar. Of Rs 27 crores sanctioned, we need only Rs 17 crores. I won’t intervene in this. In Hassan, Rs 48 crores was approved for an engineering college and Rs 37 released. But I won’t intervene in this matter, too,” said Limbavali.

FOLOW SEAT AVAILABILITY DURING THE CET COUNSELING 2009 HERE AT WEBCAMPUZ.COM

It’s a mega-budget seatselection process. With about Rs 1.5 crore being spent on it, the process will hopefully will be smooth and painless for the candidates.
The decentralized counselling will kick off at three Karnataka Examination Authority centres in Bangalore, Gulbarga and Hubli from June 11. KEA has initiated such a process to take the pressure off candidates. They can take part in seat selection closer to their hometowns instead of coming to Bangalore.

KEA officials said all systems are in place. “Everything has been planned; there is no room for glitches,” said an official confidently.
The software was developed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC). Using BSNL connectivity, the process goes online at all three centres. This is backed by radio frequency lines and supported by NIC engineers.
As seat selection process is simultaneous, if there is any problem in one centre, there is an automatic lock-down on computers in other centres as well.
Giving an example, the officer said: “If the 50th ranked candidate in Bangalore has not selected a seat yet, the next ranked candidate, who may be elsewhere, cannot bypass the higher-ranked candidate. If there is a technical snag in one centre and the candidate cannot select her seat, there is lock-down on computers in other centres. Systems should be up and running within 20 minutes.”
The technology is similar to what’s being used by the Railways, only on a smaller scale. Candidates at any centre can choose seats anywhere in the state, added the official.

The seat selection process for medical colleges will start at 9.30 am at all centres on June 11. Lakshmi Savdi, cooperation minister, will inaugurate it in Gulbarga; Murugesh Nirani, minister of large and small industries, will inaugurate the Hubli centre and higher education minister Aravind Limbavalli will kick off counselling in Bangalore.
