The Karnataka High Court order of Saturday on CET-2022 repeaters (students who had passed II Pre-University Course in 2021 and had appeared for the entrance test this year) will mean upsetting the engineering ranks which were published by the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) on July 30.
The High Court quashed the CET-2022 engineering ranking and directed the State government and the KEA to redo the ranking by taking II PU and CET-2022 marks in 50:50 ratio even for the petitioner-students who passed II PU in 2021. The KEA, while allotting ranks, had taken into account only CET marks for repeaters.
A total of 2.1 lakh students had appeared for the CET and 1.71 lakh students were declared eligible for engineering courses and assigned ranks. Among them, around 26,000 are repeaters.
