The State government, which wants to postpone the COMED-K counselling for professional courses even as it appeals the Karnataka High Court order that directed it to redo CET ranking, has now hit an impasse. The Karnataka Unaided Private Engineering Colleges Association (KUPECA), which conducts the COMED-K counselling, has refused to alter its schedule.
At a meeting held on Wednesday, Higher Education minister Dr. C.N. Ashwath Narayan reportedly requested the association to postpone the COMED-K counselling till after the first round of CET-2022 counselling. However, KUPECA has refused, and in turn has requested the Minister to let them go ahead with the counselling as per schedule.
The meeting was inconclusive and Dr. Ashwath Narayan said he would chair another meeting with the representatives of KUPECA on September 13, when he said he was confident of finding a resolution to the impasse.
