Boys Outshine Girls In CET
Unlike the Board examinations, boys outscored girls in the CET 2005. While Sangamesh J. Mise from Gulbarga bagged the first rank in medical, Rajat Varna from Dakshina Kannada topped the engineering scores.
The results were put up on the website on Tuesday evening and will be announced in all 182 test centres after 11 am on Wednesday. Of the 85,270 candidates who wrote the test on May 3 and 4, the CET cell has allotted ranks to 61,078 students.
The cell has not given ranks to 24,192 students as the candidates had not submitted the qualifying exam marksheet, or marks obtained in either PCM for engineering or PCB for medical was recorded zero, or they did not meet the domicile requirement or the age criterion, CET special officer D.N.Nayak said.
The performance of students has come down marginally this year for engineering compared to CET 2004. While the percentage of first rank in medical (PCB) was 94.68 this year, it was 95.36 last year. But in engineering (PCM), the scores came down from 97.63% to 97.08 this year.
A Horanadu Kannadiga has bagged the eighth rank in the medical list. The competition in CET-2005 has been rather tough with the second, third, and fourth rankers in medical stream all touching 94 per cent mark. And in case of the engineering rank list, the difference in scores between the first and second ranker is 0.001!
Students who secured good scores in the state CET had also taken the Comed-K test. These students will now have the option of choosing government seats or private managements` seat.
The district-wise performance analysis will be released by the CET cell soon, but Bangalore has three students each in the top ten chart of the medical and engineering merit list.
The two-day-long CET, which turned out to be a common exit test for the non-Karnataka students, was held at 182 centres across the state. Of 87,270 candidates, 21,040 appeared for the test from Bangalore in the city`s 48 centres.
The CET scores will be accepted by 31 medical colleges, 37 dental colleges and 115 engineering colleges of the state.
