CET 2017 to go bilingual

October 19, 2016 07:46 am | Updated December 01, 2016 06:51 pm IST - BENGALURU:

There’s some good news for those who want to pursue professional courses, but lack fluency in English.

Come 2017, the Common Entrance Test (CET) question papers will go bilingual — each question will be posed in both English and Kannada. Even the CET application form will be bi-lingual. Sources in the Higher Education Department said that a Government Order will soon be issued to have a bilingual paper for the entrance test that is likely to be scheduled in April/May 2017. The test is a gateway to government or government quota seats in engineering, farm science courses, B. Pharm and Pharm. D, and Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani and Homoeopathy courses, among others.
