KCET mess: Private schools’ body demands CID probe

Bengaluru: The private schools' management association has demanded a CID inquiry into the Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET) mess.

Associated Management of Primary and Secondary Schools in Karnataka has written to School Education and Literacy Minister Madhu Bangarappa and Higher Education Minister Dr M C Sudhakar demanding a detailed inquiry covering the officials involved in KCET question paper setting process.

In the letter, the association has suspected the involvement of private tutorials and coaching centres.
