The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has decided to conduct combined counselling process for candidates seeking admission to Engineering, Medical, Dental, Agriculture, Veterinary, Pharmacy, and Nursing courses for 2023-24 in the State.
Ramya S., Executive Director for KEA, said in a press release on Monday that the new process will streamline the counselling process and is expected to eliminate unduly delay in seat allotment.
“Previously, there used to be separate rounds of counselling and seat allotment for these courses. However, many students used to participate in both Engineering and Medical seat allotment and there were chances of a few applicants securing seats in both disciplines. This would lead to opportunities being denied to other eligible candidates. In that case, the authority had to cancel the Engineering seats of those candidates who had also secured Medical seats in the second round,” Ms. Ramya explained
