Karnataka medical and dental college seat sharing decided
The Karnataka government has entered into a seat-sharing understanding with the private and minority-run medical and dental colleges for the coming academic year.
The formula for seat-sharing is more or less the same as that of 2009-10. The medical and dental colleges under the private and minority managements expressed their inability in parting with more seats than that of last year owing to the steep increase in costs in running the institutions. The seat-sharing formula will be submitted to the Supreme Court for ratification as the court is hearing a petition on the fee structure of the medical and dental colleges. A similar approval for seat-sharing was obtained from the court last year.
Of a total of 4,069 medical seats in the government, private and minority-run medical colleges, the total seats in the government pool (to be filled through a common entrance test) will be 1,872, while the managements will have a quota of 2,033 seats. In all, 164 seats have been set aside for the All India quota for which entrance will be conducted by the Centre.

Karnataka to continue with CET, COMED-K exams
Karnataka will continue to hold CET and COMED-K exams separately as the private engineering colleges rejected the government's proposal to merge the exams at a meeting held here on Friday, Feb 19.
The government, however, has offered to allot seats to the private colleges that wish to set CET as their entrance test.
The seat sharing formula remains unchanged at 50:50 ratio between government and private college
managements. The seat-sharing ratio for minority institutions will be 45 per cent and the rest will go to private managements.
The fee structure for 2010 CET finalised during the meet is going to add to the woes of the students who fall under the General Merit category as fees for these candidates has been increased from Rs 25,000 to Rs 30,000 per year.
However, the fees for the 'poor meritorious' category will remain the same as last year’s Rs 15,000 per year, informed Higher Education Minister Aravind Limbavali.
The following is an outline of the decisions finalised at the meeting:

CET Seat Matrix Fees
Medical & Engineering Seat Sharing Matrix And 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.
