COMED-K to be merged with CET from next year

Limiting the hike in fees to 10% as against the demand to increase it by 25% for engineering courses in private and government colleges for the current academic year (2022-23), the State government announced on Wednesday that from next year COMED-K entrance test will be merged with Common Entrance Test (CET) for engineering courses.

These key decisions were taken at a meeting chaired by Minister for Higher Education C. N. Ashwath Narayan, with representatives of KUPECA (Karnataka Unaided Private Engineering Colleges Association) here.

The fee hike is applicable to those students who have been allotted government seats in private engineering colleges. Further, KUPECA representatives promised that they would voluntarily extend support to the government to take action against those who collect extra fee by any other means.
