Further in his tweet, Ashwathnarayan said that only CET marks will be considered for entry into professional courses. Also, the State Education Department is taking necessary measures for admissions to graduate colleges and other courses.

Meanwhile, the ministry is evaluating admission for science graduation courses through CET.

Previously, the KCET was scheduled to be conducted on 7 and 8 July which got postponed due to a surge in COVID-19 infections across the country.

Due to the same reason, the state government had earlier postponed the second-year pre-university course or pre-degree course (PUC) examinations which were scheduled to begin from 24 May.

They have also deferred the Secondary School Leaving Certificate (SSLC) examinations that were slated to begin from 21 June keeping in mind the coronavirus crisis.
