The decision was taken after several students sent requests to KEA “In view of the NDA exams scheduled on 21-04-2024, KCET exams will be conducted on 18-04-2024 and 19-04-2024 Kannada Language Test on April 20th,” the KEA said in an official notice.

KCET 2024 application-cum-verification module

As a reform measure, to cut the time that used to be taken for the physical verification of documents, KEA has designed the application as an “application-cum-verification” module. This module seeks to remove the physical verification of various documents thus enabling a speedy process.

The student entries about school study, Kannada medium, caste, income etc will be verified through SATS / Revenue Department web service. The candidates are advised to fill in all the details carefully and upload the necessary documents. This allows for document verification during the submission of the application itself, S. Ramya, Executive Director, KEA explained.

Candidates aspiring for Medical, Dental, Ayurveda, Unani, Homoeopathy, B.P.T., B.Sc. Allied Health Sciences and BPO (Bachelor in prosthetics and orthotics) courses have also been informed to register during the above-prescribed period. It has been clarified those candidates registered with KEA will be provided with an interface to enter their NEET score and Roll Number after the announcement of UGNEET-2024 results.

KEA has trained about 250 senior lecturers and they are identified as Master Trainers. These Master Trainers have in turn provided training to College trainers and there will be a trainer in each science college to guide the candidates. Candidates can clarify their doubts regarding filling out online applications at their respective colleges, according to the release.

In addition to this, KEA has also launched an App that can be downloaded from the KEA website. Schedules and notifications can be obtained from this App. Applicants need not visit the website every time. Also, as soon as the candidates start registration, they will receive messages from WhatsApp about the status of their applications. Besides, the Candidates Portal allows one to know the status of fee payment and other details of the application.
