The document verification for CET-2022, though was digitised for the first time, did not save the students from the cumbersome process and crowding at Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) office, Malleswaram, on Monday.
The process had teething issues and began an hour and a half late on Monday, day 1 of the process, as the server was down and there were other technical glitches. The process that was to start at 9.30 am, started only after 11 a.m. and went on beyond 7 p.m. Through the day, there was a delay in uploading documents due to network issues.
While Block Education Officers (BEOs) carried out the document verification in taluks in a hybrid mode, all CET rank holders — over 40,000 of them in Bengaluru — were asked to congregate at the KEA campus, Malleswaram. As there are only 8 BEOs in the city, KEA arranged document verification together, sources said. On Monday, there was a massive crowd of over 3,000 students and parents at KEA.
