One of the Nodal Officers of Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) Sacheth Suvarna said here on Saturday, that henceforth admission to Bachelor of Science in Nursing will be made on the basis of Common Entrance Test (CET) conducted by the KEA.
Speaking at the 21st edition of The Hindu Education Plus Career Counselling – 2023 held at Geetha S.M. Shetty Hall, Ramakrishna College, Bunts Hostel Circle, he said that the admission to B.Sc in Nursing will be an addition to the CET counselling 2023.
Mr. Suvarna asked the candidates who have appeared for the CET to ensure that the caste certificate obtained for the admission to professional courses had names of both the candidate and his or her parent. Based on previous experience, the Nodal Officer said that in some cases the name of the parent was missing in the caste certificates produced for admission. The caste certificate once issued is valid for five years.
