In a student-friendly initiative, the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has modified the Common Entrance Test (CET)-2024 online counselling application process and facilitated the option to reject an allotted seat online. Now, a candidate can reject a seat online and the fee will be adjusted towards any other course and college the candidate may select, without any time lag.
This comes as a breather to many students who, if they wanted to reject an allotted seat, earlier had to come from their home towns to the KEA head office in Bengaluru. They also had to wait for nearly six months for fee reimbursement.
“To make the counselling process more student-friendly, steps have been taken to provide seat rejection and a fee payment adjustment option in the CET counselling online application from this year. This will prevent students from flocking to the KEA for seat rejection. The fee refund delay will also be avoided,” said S. Ramya, Executive Director, KEA.
