The Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) will submit a proposal to the government to fix the fees of government quota seats surrendered by private engineering colleges, universities and deemed-to-be-universities in the State, said H. Prasanna, Executive Director of KEA.

The KEA will fill the government quota seats in all engineering colleges in the State through CET counselling. As per the consensual agreement with private engineering colleges and Karnataka Unaided Private Engineering Colleges Association (KUPEKA), the colleges have given up 45% of the seats to the government. The remaining 30% seats are filled through the national level COMED-K entrance exam, 15% seats are filled as Non-Residential Indian (NRI) quota and 10% seats as management quota seats.
