BENGALURU: The Common Entrance Test (CET) 2017 results have been postponed due to the delay in announcement of Class 12 results of colleges affiliated to Central Board for Secondary Education (CBSE) and Council for Indian School Certificate Examination (ICSE), according to Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA).
Earlier this week, KEA had announced that the CET results would be declared on May 27. Now, they will be announced on May 30. “If we announce CET results before CBSE and ICSE results, it will cause inconvenience to the students and it will be double work even for us. Considering this, we decided to wait for three days,” said a senior KEA official. If CET results are declared on May 30, both KEA and the students will have just one day for verification of documents. As per KEA’s schedule, document verification will begin from June 1.
Had the KEA announced the CET results without waiting for CBSE and ICSE results, then it would have to allot separate CET rankings for CBSE and ICSE students later.
