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.

Blue corner notice issued against Prajwal Revanna, says Karnataka HM G Parameshwara
Bengaluru, May 5: Karnataka Home Minister Dr G Parameshwara on Sunday said a Blue Corner notice has been issued and Interpol's help is being taken to bring NDA's Hassan Lok Sabha candidate Prajwal Revanna, who is facing sexual harassment cases, back to India.
A Blue Corner Notice is issued by the international police cooperation body to collect additional information from its member countries about a person's identity, location or activities in relation to a crime.
The minister said the Special Investigation Team formed to probe the sex scandal will decide on how to bring Prajwal back.

Appreciating the work of SIT, formed to probe the case, he said the team is doing its job and has acted as per law on the complaints it has received.
He recalled it has arrested the 'accused,' apparently referring to Prajwal's father HD Revanna, who was apprehended in an abduction case.
Prajwal's father Revanna, a JD(S) MLA, is also facing molestation and kidnapping charges, and has been arrested by the SIT on Saturday.
He was arrested by the sleuths of SIT on Saturday in the kidnapping case linked to sexual abuse allegations against his son Prajwal. He was picked up soon after a court here rejected his anticipatory bail plea.
Explicit video clips allegedly involving the 33-year-old Prajwal, grandson of JD(S) patriarch and former Prime Minister Deve Gowda, had started making the rounds in Hassan in recent days, following which the state government constituted the SIT to probe the sexual abuse allegations against the MP.
