There have been reports that the Karnataka government has been considering reserving around 10% of the seats that are admitted through the Common Entrance Test held by KEA to non-Karnataka students. A large number of private college managements are happy with the idea of a common CET and had agreed to the proposition. If the unified CET becomes a reality, around 60 per cent of seats will be with the government, 25 per cent with management, 5 per cent for the NRI quota and 10 per cent for non-Karnataka students.
No fee structure has yet been decided by the government for the proposed non-Karnataka category. Actually this news is just broke and much on authentication of this news would be known only when the CET Adission starts.But then Some of the Students may miss getting a Good Coaching for CET Papers.
Well what I say is do not wait only for CET, Prepare for other entrance exams too, And if CET Permits, give your best there. I don't see much diffculty in writing CET if you are well prepared.

CET Seat Matrix Fees
The government's share of seats in the CET has been gradually decreasing over the years. It was 85:15 in 1994-95 but is now reduced to 40:60 (medical). Private college managements are expected to petition the education secretariat on not giving up any medical/dental seat to the government for next year's UG admissions. The govt in 2007 had increased the salaries of teaching staff in government medical and dental colleges. Now, the private colleges too must hike the salaries to retain staf. Each college will have to bear an additional burden of Rs 3 crore.
The government got an extra 5% seats in Engineering colleges in 2009, in turn 25% these seats will be reserved for the poor and meritorious students. Needless to say the government will have its own criteria of determing who is poor.
Fee Update for 2010-11 Admission
Private institutions are willing to allot 75% of the engineering seats to the Government if the govt is willing to hike the fees by 45%. The institutions argue when parents are willing to pay Rs 40,000 for nursery kids why are they hesitating to increase the fee for professional courses?
Private institutions want govt to scrap CET and use just PUC marks for admission. They want the govt to raise the bar for admissions as most of the students who graduate are below average.
Poor Meritorious Quota
At least 10,000 seats in undergraduate engineering courses in the state, will be earmarked for meritorious poor during 2009-10. The fee for these students will be Rs 15,000 against the regular Rs 25,000.
Annual family income of Rs 2 lakh is the ceiling, while the creamy layer has been completely kept out of the purview of the quota (creamy layer policy laid out in government order No SWD225BCA2000, dated March 30, 2002). The creamy layer covers SC and ST and also the Categor I of the backward classes. The creamy layer applies only to Categories II(A), II(B), III(A) and III(B). Students belonging to these categories but not failing under the creamy layer will also be elegible for the quota.
The government has decided to distribute 50% of seats under the government quota for the poor and meritorious students who have earned competitive ranks in CET.
The candidates will have to provide during the consuseling a certificate from the jurisdictional tahsildar certifying their annual family income.

Govt. and private college discussions inconclusive
The Karnataka government and the management of private colleges in Karnataka had a discussion to evolve a Common Entrance Test and a common fee structure for professional colleges, but the discussions ended inconclusive. Last year there were two entrance examinations - the CET held by the government Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA), and the Comed-K held by the private colleges. After the inconclusive talks, an announcement was made by the government to set up a committee to explore the pros and cons of a common entrance test and fee structure.
At the meeting, though there were some reservations about an unified entrance test, it wasn’t rejected outright. The Karnataka Private Dental Colleges Association urged the government to keep the needs and limitations of the private colleges in mind before deciding the fee structure and to ensure that the fees collected enables the colleges to meet the recurring expenditures, including infrastructure.

CET counselling in M'lore, Davangere from this year (2010)
Starting from next academic year, Mangalore and Davangere too will also see Common Entrance Test (CET) counselling for admissions into professional courses.
This decision was taken as the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) decided to go ahead with decentralisation of the CET, after counselling at Hubli and Gulbarga gave encouraging results last year.
Higher Education Minister Aravind Limbavali has given the formal approval for holding counselling at these two places and KEA will soon start working on setting up of these centres.
Henceforth, the counselling will be held at five centres including Bangalore, Hubli, Gulbarga, Davanagere and Mangalore.
KEA took the decision to decentralise the counselling for the benefit of the students who are not from Bangalore.

Single CET may split COMED-K
Bangalore: The state government's proposal to hold a single Common Entrance Test (CET) is now threatening to split the Consortium of Medical Dental and Engineering Colleges of Karnataka (COMED-K), the representative body of the private professional institutions.
Most private engineering colleges have threatened the COMED-K that they would withdraw their membership, if the body rejects the government proposal for a single CET.
"We are ready for a single CET. We are running four technical institutions and we know the problems of rural colleges. It would be good if we have a single CET and the government conducts it," said Shekhar Swamiji, the head of BGS group of institutions and junior pontiff of the Adichunchanagiri Mutt.
"If the single CET does not happen, then we will think of coming out of the consortium. I will discuss this issue with my senior and take a decision soon," the swamiji added.
Of the 170-odd engineering colleges that are with the COMED-K, most are in rural areas and are finding it difficult to fill their seats every year. Less than 25 of these institutions are in Bangalore. "We don't know the condition of medical colleges, but it has become difficult for us to fill seats through the COMED-K test and we are ready for a single CET," said another official from one of the prestigious institutions on the condition of anonymity.
Dr MG Venkatesh Murthy, technical director, Malnad College of Engineering, Hassan said: "We are ready to accept a single CET. We are also ready to withdraw our COMED-K membership to facilitate the same."
These colleges gave vent to their ire over the state of affairs in the COMED-K at a meeting organised by the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) here on Friday.
A representative from Vivekananda College of Engineering and Technology in Puttur of Dakshina Kannada district said, "Last year, out of the 105 seats in our college, only one seat could be filled through COMED-K. I don't think we are getting any benefit from the consortium and it is better to go in for a single CET."
According to sources in KEA, a few college managements have contacted the higher education minister and the principal secretary of higher education department and expressed their support for a single CET.
"After discussions with the managements, the minister said he will appoint a committee to look into the issue. On behalf of all the engineering colleges who are for a single CET, I request the minister to consider representatives from rural colleges instead of entertaining the city managements," stated the principal of a reputed engineering college on the condition of anonymity.
Each member-college pays nearly Rs 50,000 for COMED-K every year. Some college managements alleged that COMED-K is not giving much publicity to its entrance test to admit students to undergraduate courses. The engineering colleges which are extending their support to a single CET and are ready to come out of COMED-K want the government to amend the KEA Act and allow even students from outside Karnataka to take the test.
