The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has cancelled the penalty which used to be levied on engineering candidates who cancel their seats after getting the allotment in the last round, which was five times the usual cancellation fee.
The penalty will be returned to those who have already paid it after subtracting the course fee from it, from November 2, said S. Ramya, Executive Director, KEA. The candidates should go to the KEA with necessary documents to avail the refund.
The candidates who have already secured engineering seats for the academic year of 2023-24 and wish to cancel it, should also get their cancellation letters before October 25. They would have to pay the amount fixed by the government for the same in the form of a demand draft.
