Information
The Karnataka Education Awareness Forum has urged the Karnataka government to drop the proposal to bring about changes in the selection of students for professional institutions by rejecting the proposal to consider the marks scored in the CET alone for selection. The forum wants the government to continue the existing system taking into account 50 per cent of the marks scored in the Pre-University College and 50 per cent marks in the CET.

The main fear is that the change in the system would pose a threat to the students from rural areas and the weaker sections, who typically dont fare very well in the CET exams as compared to their urban counterparts. Inability to afford (or lack of) tution facilities is considered one major reason for this.
