Students Face Seat Cancellation Issues and College Discrepancies in KEA Counselling
Students and parents faced challenges during the Karnataka Examinations Authority's (KEA) 2nd round of counselling for professional courses. Many gathered at the KEA office seeking seat cancellations, objecting to a 5,000-rupee penalty and the requirement for physical presence, prompting KEA to extend deadlines and enable online cancellations. Additionally, some students found discrepancies in allotted colleges, with seats assigned to institutions that were closed, missing, or located at different addresses, causing confusion and concern among candidates and parents.
