Bangalore: Amid reigning uncertainty over fixation of fee structure, about 1.51 lakh students would appear for the two-day Common Entrance Test (CET) from May 30 to put to test their aptitude and luck for getting admission into professional courses in Karnataka.

Even as the CET cell, which conducts the exam has announced in its prospectus that it would not guarantee any seat for non-Karnataka students, there was no dearth for enthusiasm among outsiders, with 70,000 from outside the state appearing for the test.

The city has been flooded with students and their wards, who have descended in Bangalore by regular and special trains from various parts of the country.

With the state government and the private managements having stuck to their diametrically opposite stands on sharing of seats and fee structure, the admission issue, which concerns lakh of students aspiring to become doctors or technocrats, still remained unresolved.

Even as the government announced that it would admit students selected by CET for 75 per cent of the total intake in all the private colleges leaving the remaining 25 per cent to the managements' discretion, the private managements have rejected the formula, saying they would contest it in Supreme Court, as it was against apex court order.
