The New Indian Express Kalaburagi
|April 19, 2025
FOLLOWING the incident where students appearing for the Common Entrance Test (CET) in Bidar and Shivamogga were asked to remove their sacred thread (janivara), the Executive Director of the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA), H Prasanna, sent letters to the Deputy Commissioners of both the districts, instructing them to submit comprehensive reports on the matter.
"The KEA has taken serious note of two separate incidents, where students were either denied the opportunity to write the CET due to wearing a sacred thread or were allowed to sit for the exam after removing it. The KEA has issued a stern warning and stringent action will be taken against those responsible for these incidents," Prasanna said.
