“Compared to CET for UG courses, the number of students taking DCET and PGCET is lower. Though nearly 50,000 students apply for PGCET, the number of students applying for PG courses in each subject is far lower. So we have decided to conduct both these tests online,” said S. Ramya, Executive Director, KEA.

“Presently, the seating capacity and the potential of the system for conducting online exams in the State is around 15,000. If we improve this by adding 5,000 more computers, we can hold simultaneous online exams for 20,000 students. Online exam centres will soon be opened in every district. We will soon start an awareness campaign among students about online exams,” she said.
