KEAM entrance 2021: Don't publish results, orders HC
Representative Image. KOCHI: The Kerala High Court has restrained the publication of results of KEAM Entrance Exam scheduled to be held on Thursday.
Though the court restrained the publishing of results, it has allowed the exam to be held on Thursday as scheduled.
The petitioners have demanded before the court that plus two marks should not be relied upon for admissions being done on the basis of KEAM. Plus two exams for CBSE and ICSE were not held this year due to COVID-19. Therefore, admission to medical and engineering admissions should be conducted in Kerala without relying on plus two marks, the petition said.
Further, the petitioners have alleged that plus two exams that were held this year were not done in a manner that assessed the academic levels of the students correctly.
The court issued a stay after the state government informed that it would come up with a decision on the issue soon and that it will be conveyed to the court.
