HUBLI: The R.H. Kulkarni Memorial Auditorium, located on the campus of BVB College of Engineering and Technology, is all set for CET counselling.
Counselling for medical courses will be held on June 10 and 11 and that for dental course on June 14. Counselling for engineering courses will be held from June 18 to July 17.
After taking into consideration the feedback received during the last year's counselling at the same venue, changes have been made in the arrangements to make the process a smooth affair. A display board has been installed outside the auditorium. Three wings have been set up at the venue — for registration, verification of documents and for choosing the colleges.
According to the Centre Coordinator for CET Counselling at Hubli, Alka Kulkarni, the session will be inaugurated at 9 a.m. on Thursday by Deputy Commissioner of Dharwad Darpan Jain. Hubli-Dharwad Police Commissioner Raghavendra Auradkar will be the guest and Principal of BVB College Ashok Shettar will preside over the inaugural ceremony.

CET will soon organize placements too
BANGALORE: Forget placements at B-schools. Now, IT biggies might soon land at the Karnataka Examination Authority campus to recruit students. The state government is working on using KEA as a platform to allow these companies to recruit students. Starting with the engineering stream, government plans to have placements at the end of sixth and seventh semesters.
According to sources, some companies recruit students only from cities leaving out rural areas, which has some of the best brains. If all the students are brought under one umbrella, it’ll be easy for companies to select students.
What has provoked the government is an incident at Bhatkal where a meritorious engineering student couldn’t get into campus placement as the companies did not visit his campus as it was located in a rural area.
“We have students with barely 60% from prime colleges making into the campus placement. But when it comes to a student from rural engineering college with over 75% he fails to get in as companies find it difficult to visit such colleges. This, in spite of these students having all the essential skills,” sources told TOI.
Recruitment process may commence in November as the CET seat selection process will conclude in September. “There won’t be much work after the counselling. Instead of allowing the building to be vacant we can utilise it for recruitment. A new building at KEA can also be used for the recruitment process,” sources added.
Stating that the move is not restricted to government colleges, sources said: “Our aim is only to provide a common platform.”
The government will provide all the facilities at KEA for the companies. It will not interfere in the selection criteria of the companies. The companies can either use the place for conducting tests or conducting interviews or both. “Since the placement happens at the end of 6th and 7th semesters, accommodating these students should not be a problem. The placement process can be held region-wise. We conduct counselling in six centres — Bangalore, Hubli, Gulbarga, Davanagere, Shimoga and Managalore. The companies can simultaneously conduct the interviews/selection process in all these centres,” sources explained.
The government will collect information from Visvesvaraya Technological University and from company placement officers on the candidates expected and the date they plan to conduct the selection process. After the schedule is given to KEA, necessary arrangements will be made.

CET counselling centre may open at Dharwad

The students of North Karnataka districts and Hyderabad Karnataka region could be spared of the trouble of going all the way for CET counselling to get admission for engineering and medical courses. The state government has decided to set up CET counselling centres in Dharwad-Hubli and also at Gulbarga.
Commissioner of Pre-University Education Shridhar Hegde along with CET administrative officer S P Kulkarni visited a few places in Dharwad-Hubli on Sunday to select the location of CET counselling centres. He visited IT Park in Tirakaramanakere near swimming pool in Hubli, SDM College of Engineering and Technology, Dharwad and University of Agricultural Sciences in Dharwad.
The team will also visit Gulbarga for the purpose. Speaking to Business Standard S G Hegde said the idea was to enable the students attend the counselling at a nearby place instead of travelling all the way to Bangalore. The students will be free to opt for any counselling centre-Bangalore, Dharwad/Hubli, Gulbarga. The move will avoid rush at Bangalore CET cell besides saving money, time and energy for the parents.
“We are visiting different places and having a look at the infrastructure and other facilities. The final location is not yet decided” Hegde said.
The Karnataka government and private colleges have fixed the seat-sharing formula at 50:50 for engineering and 42:58 for medical courses. The CET has been done away with for dental, Ayurveda, Unani and Homeopathy courses from this academic year. Admissions will be based on Class 12 or PUC marks.
The fee structure has come down for engineering courses, while it is unaltered for medical courses. In the 50:50 engineering seat ratio, 25 per cent would be kept for poor and meritorious students. The fee for them is Rs 15,000. The remaining 25 per cent of seats will have Rs 25,000 fees same as last year.
In minority institutions, 20 per cent government engineering seats are allotted for poor and meritorious students with fee of Rs 15,000 and another 20 per cent for Rs 25,000. The rest would be given to managements. In non-minority colleges, 50 per cent seats will go to managements. NRI quota will be decided by the Supreme Court.
