NEW DELHI: The Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET) is likely to be held again after protests from students against the out-of-syllabus questions. All India Democratic Students' Organization (AIDSO) has issued a statement expressing concern over the KCET 2024 re-exam. The AIDSO stands against the idea of KCET 2024 re-examination.
An expert committee was formed by the state government to examine the KCET 2024 exam issue. The panels that examined the KCET question papers agreed with students, instructors, and other stakeholders that there were out-of-syllabus questions. The reports further stated that each subject included out-of-syllabus questions worth at least eight marks.
The KCET is held for admission to professional courses such as engineering technology, bachelor of pharmacy (BPharm), diploma in pharmacy (DPharma), agricultural (farm science), and veterinary courses.
KCET 2024 retest overburdens students amidst upcoming NEET
With other important entrance exams such as the National Eligibility and Entrance Test (NEET) approaching and students currently experiencing academic stress, the majority of stakeholders are against the idea of a reexamination. Many have called for the nullification of the out-of-syllabus questions and urged for final rankings to be determined accordingly. According to AIDSO, despite these appeals, sources suggest that the committee is considering conducting a retest, much to the dismay of the already overburdened students.

Accountability concerns heighten student frustration
According to the student group, the concern is the absence of accountability regarding the alleged negligence that led to the inclusion of out-of-syllabus questions in the first place. Even after ten days since the incident, there has been no clarity on who is responsible for the oversight, exacerbating the frustration and anxiety among students.
AIDSO urges the government to refrain from conducting a reexamination and to listen to the views of the majority of stakeholders.
