It's now official. The Karnataka government on 21st March, withdrew its earlier decision to scrap the CET for BDS and the Indian System of Medicine (ISM) courses. Hence, aspirants of BDS courses in the State will now have to clear the Karnataka Common Entrance Test, KCET - 2009.Minister for Karnataka Medical Education, Ramachandra Gowda told media that the Cabinet decision on March 5 to scrap CET for BDS and ISM courses was taken as seats in several colleges, including the Government Dental College at Bellary, were not filled.
“But, before we could enact the legislation, elections were declared and the code of conduct came into existence. Hence, now the students will have to write CET. If the seats are not filled through CET, then the college concerned can admit students on a first-come-first-served basis, taking the second PUC final exam marks into consideration. A Cabinet approval will be taken in the next two to three days to this effect,” the minister clarified.
