I addition to lack of a strategic plan, the idea of KCET 2019 in online mode is being opposed by students in rural areas. The students doubt that the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) will not be able to come with training centers for the rural students for the online test mode like NTS had for JEE Main. This, in turn, will create trouble for such candidates.
However, KEA is hopeful that it will be able to take the exam online from the next year and will be able to eliminate the chances of paper leaks and other such issues with the online mode.
