The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has decided that admissions to postgraduate architecture (MArch) programmes in the State will now be based on the scores of the national-level Postgraduate Entrance Test in Architecture (PGETA) conducted by the Council of Architecture.
Until now, KEA used to conduct its own entrance exam (PGCET) and allot seats based on the scores from that test. Starting this year, the rule has been changed; candidates must now appear for the national-level test to participate in the local admission process, said KEA executive director H. Prasanna in a press statement.
Last year, 136 seats were available for this course, and 127 candidates applied. However, only 28 candidates actually took admission, he added.
