CET applicants will come under general merit if there is a mismatch in RD number: KEA

The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) stated on Friday that those candidates whose Revenue Document (RD) number is mismatched will be considered under the general merit quota, if the same is not rectified before the scheduled deadline of June 12.

Out of the 2.6 lakh students who have written the Common Entrance Test (CET), RD number mismatch was identified in the details submitted by over 80,000 applicants. Given this, the KEA facilitated editing RD number from June 7. However, there are about 30,000 candidates who are yet to rectify it.

S. Ramya, Executive Director of the KEA, has said that the candidates whose RD numbers would mismatch would not be eligible to claim seats for professional courses under the reservation quota.
