BANGALORE: Quite like the stop-and-shop concept, the government is turning the Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell into Karnataka Examinations Authority to hold fair and transparent entrance/aptitude tests for all private, corporate and even the government รข€” for a price.
The higher education department will place the proposal before the cabinet. The authority is a registered society with an ISO certification.
The 18-member governing council will be headed by the higher education secretary, with four representatives from private college managements.
Any CEO of a reputed company who pays Rs 10 lakh will become member of the council subject to state government approval.
The Authority will conduct the CET for admission to professional courses in both government and private colleges.
Besides, it will also hold tests for recruitment to private/corporate organisations and even other government departments.
The government has already announced that it is working towards having a single CET for next year. The executive committee will be headed by the commissioner for pre-university education, who will hold the post of executive director.
Commissioner for collegiate education and vice-chancellors of Visvesvaraya Technological University and Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences will be other members of the committee.
The panel will have administrative, financial and academic authority except for the power to create posts. It will also be empowered to enter into agreements with other public/private organisations or individuals in the course of affairs of the society.
The current assets of the CET Cell will automatically become the property of the society from the date it is statutorily registered.
