Students, parents upset over exam centre allocation for CET

Students who are appearing for the Common Entrance Test (CET) 2024 on April 18 and 19, and their parents have expressed their disappointment with the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) about the allotment of examination centres.  

For many students, CET examination centres are 15 to 30 kilometres away from their houses.  

“My family resides in RPC Layout near Vijayanagara. But the examination centre for my daughter is allotted in a school in Bismillah Nagar, near Bannerghatta Road, which is 25 kilometres away. It will take at least one-and-a-half hours to reach there by a private vehicle and double the time if she chooses to go by bus,” said Mahalakshmi D.R., mother of a CET candidate.
