KCET likely to be held again over out-of-syllabus questions

The Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET) is expected to be rescheduled due to the appearance of out-of-syllabus questions in all subjects during the exam conducted on April 18 and April 19, causing distress among students.

The expert committees appointed by the state government to review the KCET question papers have affirmed the concerns raised by students, teachers, and other stakeholders regarding the presence of out-of-syllabus questions. Sources from the higher education department.
