UGCET 2026 KEA Launches State-Wide ‘CET Manthana’ Training

The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) hosted a comprehensive training workshop for 2026 edition of CET Seat Allocation Manthana at its headquarters. The workshop trains college representatives to guide candidates through upcoming professional course admissions in medical, engineering and dental domains.

The program aims to eliminate technical confusion and choice-filling errors, which disrupts the seat allotment process for thousands of aspirants each year. This is a great initiative by the exam body officials.

The “Manthan” was inaugurated by Mohammad Mohsin, Additional Chief Secretary of the Medical Education Department. Mohsin, urged institutions to utilize upcoming programs to showcase academic environments and suggested colleges host "Open Days" to display laboratories, libraries, hostels, and canteens giving transparency to prevent post-admission complaints regarding campus infrastructure.
