Candidates have been strictly warned to not indulge in seat blocking or surrender
seats after the casual vacancy round
The Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) has extended the
reporting date for students to engineering colleges from August 1 to August 25,
following requests from candidates.
The KEA, in a new set of guidelines, has also advised candidates to surrender seats
as soon as they join a course or college of their choice other than CET. The candidates
have also been advised to surrender their seats either before the casual vacancy
round, or after it.
Candidates have been strictly warned to not indulge in seat blocking or surrender
seats after the casual vacancy round.
"You will be denying an equally meritorious student an opportunity for a medical/engineering
seat in government quota at highly subsidised government fees," says a notice.
Candidates surrendering their seats before their turn in the casual vacancy round
will have to forfeit 50 per cent of the fees paid, while those cancelling their
seat after their turn will get no refund. They will have to produce the original
admission order, original bank challan, green card, and an application willing to
surrender the seat.
Counselling for engineering and architecture courses is scheduled to conclude on
August 3, while the casual vacancy round is scheduled to begin on October 12.
