вЂњThey could have communicated this the day they got the state order. Turning the tables on the CBI, George asked why the agency was sitting on the earlier government order for the last two weeks. вЂњWe did it with a good intention,вЂ™вЂ™ he told Express adding that вЂњthere was nothing wrong in setting a deadlineвЂќ.

Karnataka Home Minister K J George, however, defended setting a timeframe for the CBI to complete the investigation since there was вЂњso much hue and cry over the caseвЂќ. вЂњThat was the reason why we asked the Karnataka government to re-notify the order removing the conditions,вЂќ he added. The government had been pushing for a single test, but that is unlikely to become a reality this year. The colleges also charge different rates for different categories - for example, merit, government quota students pay less than management quota students, who in turn pay less than NRIs.ДЄccording to private college sources, both Common Entrance Test (CET) and the entrance test conducted by the Consortium of Medical Engineering and Dental Colleges of Karnataka (COMED-K) will be held as scheduled. The fees sought by private colleges range from `90,000 to `2 lakh a year, while students under the merit quota now pay only about `39,000.

The dispute over distribution of seats between the government and managements has not been thrashed out yet. The committee looks at infrastructure, quality of education, faculty, success rate in exams and placements before fixing fees. The colleges have already submitted their accounts and proposed fee structures. We are waiting for the fee fixation committee to submit its report,вЂќ said Setty. вЂњWe are not going to sign any consensual agreement on fees and seats, as before. Speaking to Express, M K Panduranga Setty, secretary KUPECA, said, вЂњYes, we have received the official communication.вЂќ The implementation means colleges will have to charge fees as fixed by a committee, which is still looking into the details. Representatives of the Karnataka Unaided Private Engineering Colleges Association (KUPECA) confirmed the development to Express.

Also, there is no clarity on whether the Karnataka Professional Educational Institutions (Regulation of Admission and Determination of Fee) Act, 2006, will cover medical and dental courses right away.ДЄlthough the law was passed in 2006, it has remained in abeyance for eight years, since the government and the private managements have not been able to arrive at a mutually agreeable seat-sharing matrix and fee structure.ДЄn official communication from the principal secretary of the Higher Education Department states the Act вЂњwill be implemented for undergraduate engineering courses from the academic year 2015-16вЂќ.
