CET-2022 repeaters’ row: Exclusion of biology in formula creates new problem

CET KEA

The exclusion of Biology in the formula suggested by the experts’ committee to the Karnataka High Court to resolve the CET-2022 repeaters’ issue has created a fresh controversy. Now, aspirants for courses such as Bachelor of Naturopathy and Yogic Science (BNYS), B.Sc (Agriculture), B.V.Sc (Veterinary Science) B-Pharma (Pharmacy) and Pharma-D. have decided to approach the court again seeking inclusion of biology in the formula.

“Biology is mandatory for professional courses other than engineering. Exclusion of the subject in the formula suggested for repeaters is unfair to us,” said a student.

To resolve the issue that had cropped up with respect to ranking between 2022 first-timers and 2021 repeaters in CET, due to different marking systems adopted, a five-member expert committee, headed by B. Thimmegowda, had been asked to arrive at a solution and bring parity between the qualifying marks of the 2021 batch and 2022 batch PU students.
