Karnataka Examination Authority Proposes Aadhaar-liked Registration for All Exams
The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) proposed Aadhaar-linked registration for students aspiring for professional course seats from next year, with an intention to put an end to the menace of seat blocking.
The KEA has submitted this proposal to the Karnataka e-Governance department.
"The e-Governance department is in favour of our proposal and they have sent a proposal to the Government of India for approval. We are awaiting the approval soon," KEA Executive Director H. Prasanna said.
The move by the KEA came in the wake of an alleged seat-blocking scam coming to light, under the Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET) quota, after completion of all the rounds of engineering seat allotment.
