KCET 2023: The Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) Friday (June 9) stated that those candidates whose RD (receipt generated) numbers in KCET or UG CET (Karnataka Common Entrance Test) 2023 are mismatched will be considered under the general merit quota if the same is not rectified before the scheduled deadline of June 12, 11 am.
S Ramya, ED, KEA, has clarified that the candidates whose RD numbers mismatch would not be eligible to claim seats for professional courses under the reservation quota.
The list of candidates with mismatched RD numbers has been announced on the authority’s website and they have been asked to enter their correct RD numbers of cast/income/Kalyana Karnataka certificates. This should be done through KEA’s portal before June 12. Ramya has stated that if this is not done, the candidates themselves will be responsible for the consequences.
Further, she has told that some students have submitted EWS certificates instead of income certificates. According to CET rules, this will not be accepted, she has added.
Out of the 2.6 lakh students who have written CET-23 mismatching of RD numbers was identified in details submitted by over 80,000 applicants. Given this, KEA has facilitated editing from June 7. However, there are about 30,000 names yet to be rectified, Ramya stated.
The process of verifying the RD numbers submitted by candidates with that of the RD number of the Revenue Department is in progress and students have been asked to make use of the last opportunity.
