Speaking to reporters after meeting the police, the minister said, “The BJP does not support any work undertaken for the welfare of the poor and are, therefore, releasing videos with false allegations against us.

KEA announces dress code for candidates appearing for CET; Students urged to arrive 90 minutes early
Bengaluru: The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has announced a mandatory dress code and strict reporting guidelines for students appearing for the Common Entrance Test (CET), scheduled to be held from April 15 to 17.
According to a release, all candidates must adhere to a prescribed dress code: both male and female students are required to wear half-sleeve attire, preferably without collars. Male candidates must wear simple pants with minimal or no pockets, while items such as jeans, kurta-pyjamas, and shoes are prohibited. The use of electronic gadgets, including mobile phones, smartwatches, and earphones, will not be allowed inside examination halls.
To ensure smooth conduct of the exam, KEA has directed candidates to report to their respective centres at least 90 minutes prior to the commencement of the examination.
KEA Executive Director H. Prasanna emphasised the importance of early arrival. “Candidates must reach the centre one-and-a-half hours in advance to undergo security screening. Police personnel and home guards will be deployed to conduct thorough checks before entry,” he said. Prasanna also noted that facial recognition technology and QR code scanning would be used for identification of candidates.
To prevent any malpractice, Prasanna confirmed that all 775 exam centres across Karnataka will be monitored via CCTV surveillance, with real-time webcasting to ensure transparency. He also stated that district-level officials, including Deputy Commissioners and Chief Executive Officers of Zilla Panchayats, will oversee the process.
Highlighting the importance of the CET as an opportunity to improve rankings, Prasanna urged students not to skip the exam, even if they had underperformed or failed in their PU exams.
In the coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi, a total of 30,614 students are expected to appear for the CET on April 16 and 17, across 66 designated examination centres.
