THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Kerala engineering and pharmacy entrance examination results are likely to be announced by September 15. The state entrance examinations were held on July 16, braving the pandemic.
Sources said that the office of the commissioner for entrance examination (CEE) may unlock the online student portal in a day or two for the candidates to cross-check and confirm the marks they scored in Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics in their qualifying Plus Two examinations conducted by different boards. “Unlike in the past, the CEE may not first release the score obtained by candidates in the entrance examinations. Instead, the CEE website would first capture the Plus two results of candidates and make it available for the confirmation of the students. Once the anomalies, if any, in the qualifying examination result is rectified, the final result would be ready for announcement by September 15,” sources said.
The state government has obtained permission from AICTE for the extension of procedure for admission to BTech courses this year. As per the current plans, the allotment of seats would start only after the first allotment of JEE is over, sources said.
Following the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic and the restrictions that followed, the state government had to postpone the entrance examinations for selection of candidates eligible for admission to engineering and pharmacy courses, originally scheduled for April 20 and 21. The test was later held in two schedules on a single day on July 16. Around 85 lakh students had attended the state entrance examination.
Sources say that there was some delay in obtaining the mark list of candidates who had cleared Plus two examinations by some national education board. This delay was one of the many practical reasons that slowed down the evaluation and allied process. The restrictions demanded by the state health department on New Delhi-based technicians, entrusted with the maintenance and repair task of advanced scanning machines used for reading the OMR sheet of candidates, was another major reason that delayed the entire process.
