Mysuru Deputy Commissioner felicitates State CET topper H. K. Meghan



Bengaluru: In a first, Mysuru boy H. K. Meghan has bagged first rank in all five streams in the Karnataka CET-2021 (Common Entrance Test) for admission to Engineering and other professional courses (barring Medical and Dental courses) in the State.



The CET is a gateway to professional courses such as Engineering, Agriculture and Horticulture, Yoga and Naturopathy, Veterinary Science and Pharmacy.



Meghan, a CBSE student of  Pramati Hillview Academy, Kuvempunagar in Mysuru, secured first rank in all the five streams, thus creating  a record of sorts.  



Announcing the results in the State Capital yesterday, Higher Education Minister Dr. C. N. Aswathnarayan said that a total of 1,93,447 students, including 95,462 boys and 97,985 girls appeared for CET-2021 which was held at 530 centres across the State on Aug. 28, 29 and 30.



Pointing out that H. K. Meghan, a student  of Mysuru, has come first in all the five streams, which is a record, the Minister said that he was complimenting him for his outstanding achievement.



Noting that three grace marks were awarded to all students in Maths and Physics, he reiterated that this is for the first time that a single student (Meghan) has bagged first rank in all the five streams in the CET.  



Continuing, Dr. Ashwathnarayan said that no student scored full marks (60) in Physics, while 3 students secured full marks (60) in Chemistry, 6 in Maths and 50 in Biology.  



The Minister further said 1. 83 lakh students have been assigned ranks for Engineering courses, 1. 52 lakh for Agriculture, 1. 52 lakh for Veterinary Science, 1. 55 lakh for Yoga and Naturopathy and 1. 86 lakh for B. Pharma and D. Pharma Courses. Out of the top 10 ranks in Engineering, all, except the first rank holder, who is from Mysuru, are from Bengaluru, he added.



Declaring that document verification would begin from Sept. 30, he said that students are required to get their documents verified at the designated centres. The ranks of around 7,000 students were not released because they had not submitted the required documents or due to technical reasons, he said and added that such students can send the documents to Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) either directly or through e-mail: keauthority-ka@nic. in



Dr. Ashwathnarayan  clarified that no cut-off marks have been set for those seeking admission to Engineering courses, though the Higher Education Department had thought of introducing it as an eligibility criteria for students as they had not written the II PU exam this year due to COVID-19 pandemic.
