Students who have cleared the second PU supplementary examination will now get an opportunity to prove their mettle. The government has allowed eligible second-year PU supplementary students to select seats in professional courses through the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA).Reported by Times of India.
After a casual round of counselling, vacant engineering seats can be allotted to second-year PU supplementary students based on their eligibility, the government order said. If private colleges voluntarily give their seats to the CET, these seats can also be allotted to the students after counselling. The KEA also held a meeting with private college officials on Friday to discuss possibilities of seat surrender by the latter to the KEA. Once the seats are freed, the KEA will be able to accommodate second-year PU students.
KEA administration officer S P Kulkarni said 25 colleges on Friday have agreed to surrender their vacant engineering seats. “We expect more to follow,” Kulkarni said. “The total number of seats freed from these colleges will be around 300,” he said.
Around 70-80 colleges have asked for more time and they are likely to announce their decision on Saturday afternoon. “It was just a preliminary meeting. If the rest of the colleges decide to surrender their seats, the number will reach around 1500,” he explained.
According to him, the number of available government seats will be known after the completion of the casual round of counselling. There are around 4,064 eligible second-year PU students.
This trend clearly shows the craze of getting into engineering and other professional courses are declining and students are exploring new courses. This order helps only those professional colleges whose majority of seats are still vacant even after seat selection process.

Today is the birth anniversary of Dr.S.Radhakrishnan, the ex-president of India, Whose birth day is celebrated as Teacher’s Day. He was also a teacher for which he wanted his Birthday to be celebrated as Teachers Day. I would like to thank all my teachers, mentors, guides who are responsible for my position today. Without them today I’m no where.
At this auspicious occasion I remember my school days in Navodaya Vidyalaya (A residential school run by HRD department of Union Govt., India). Yes it is not just school days, it’s golden days of my life (Off course it’s the same for majority of us). Some students used take responsibility of each one of our teachers and take classes as they do. It’s one of the great fun and we used to enjoy most. Even teachers like to see their students acting role of them. The whole day is celebrated with a remembrance of the great human being Dr.S.Radhakrishnan. We used to have cultural programmes. Those days never come back again. It’s just a sweet memory from my dairy. Just felt like sharing this with the world.
Let’s thank and respect all our teachers for their invaluable contribution towards building our lives and success. Our success is their joy. They sacrificed their lives for us. Once again a great salaam for all my teachers. I love and respect all of you.
