In a major development, the entire process of admissions for engineering and other professional courses in the state has been put on hold, following constant complaints due to technical glitches in the system. The Common Entrance Test Cell (CET) that manages these admissions, late on Thursday took this decision after receiving several complaints of chaos at the Setu Suvidha Centres. The new schedule will begin from June 24 and all students will have to redo the entire process from registration.

A circular issued by the CET Cell read, 'Due to heavy load of traffic of applicants the server of the centralised admissions process was affected leading to technical glitches. We started receiving several complaints from candidates. Amid the technical issues it wouldn't be just to continue with the process of admissions and so it is put on hold for now.'
