Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) Executive Director H Prasanna has assured that there is no need to worry about verification of documents. Out of the 204 students from Jammu and Kashmir who appeared for the CET exam, only 52 have verified their documents so far.

“Considering the situation at the border, the KEA will provide another opportunity for document verification. If the situation does not improve even after 10-15 days, document verification will be done through video conferencing. The KEA will ensure that students are not inconvenienced. A separate message has been sent to all the affected students”, Prasanna told Public TV.
