BENGALURU: In a move signifying a major change in admissions to private and unaided engineering colleges in Karnataka, ComedK Undergraduate Entrance Test (UGET) will be scrapped from next year and the rankings of a refurbished Common Entrance Test (CET) conducted by the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) will be considered for allotting seats in these institutions.
A decision to this effect was taken at a meeting between the state government and the Karnataka Unaided Private Engineering Colleges Association (KUPECA) on Wednesday. ComedK struck a discordant note, saying they were not party to this decision. KUPECA member-colleges were going by results of UGET conducted by ComedK for admissions till this year.
