Government sets up Expert Committee to examine out of syllabus questions in CET 2024
The Karnataka Common Entrance Test (CET), administered by the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA), took place on April 18th and 19th, 2024, with four subjects: Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biology. Over 3 lakh students participated in the exam across the state.
Following the exams, news reports emerged, indicating that several questions from the papers were allegedly out of the CET syllabus. There have been representations that many questions were not from the syllabus, significantly affecting the students. Consequently, demands for providing grace marks or reconducting the exam have been made. The KEA has provided students with an opportunity to raise objections to the questions until April 27th. The KEA has been asked to submit a detailed report regarding this issue to the Government.
Meanwhile, the government has examined the matter, and a committee of experts for each of the four subjects has been established to determine the number of questions that are out of the syllabus of CET. The expert committee has been directed to provide its report immediately.
“KEA will act in the interests of the students who have appeared for the CET exam. Based on the report of the expert committee, a further decision will be taken in this regard. The interests of the students will be the utmost priority, and no hardship will be caused to the students,” a press statement from SRIKAR M S. Principal Secretary to Government Education Department (Higher Education), stated.
