Karnataka launches online coaching programme for CET, NEET and JEE

Providing an online coaching platform to students to prepare for Common Entrance Test (CET), National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) and Joint Entrance Exam (JEE), the state government on Monday launched ‘GetCETGo’ platform close on the lines of last year’s initiative.

Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa launched the special online coaching platform in Bengaluru.

Launching the online initiative, CM Yediyurappa said, “Last year we had focused only on CET and NEET coaching. But this year we have included coaching for JEE exams as well. All students must make use of this facility.” Adding further, the Chief Minister pointed, “The initiative has come in handy for the students from a poor socioeconomic background. Alongside the coaching, students can also avail the facility of Learning Management System (LMS).”

Explaining the initiative, Deputy Chief Minister Dr Ashwath Naryan said, “The GetCETGo online coaching will be made available all through the year by the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) from the forthcoming academic year. We are taking this step with the objective of helping more and more students from Karnataka get into IITs. This will definitely help the students of Karnataka in securing more ranks at JEE and NEET examinations.”

The platform has been designed on the concept - Learn, Revise and Test. The platform has all the relevant study materials pertaining to JEE, NEET and CET including videos, a summary of the lessons, study materials and a mock-examination facility. “Karnataka is the first state in the country to have implemented this model,” Deputy Chief Minister revealed.

Any student aspiring to appear for CET examination conducted by the KEA can get admission to the online platform by registering the personal details. “Students can get coaching either through the Website, YouTube or GetCETGo app. The app is available on both the android and iOs platform or they can log into getcetgo.in the portal for more details,” Dr Ashwath Narayan said.

Last year about two lakh students had availed of the training that was imparted by the Deeksha Institute and the same institute will be providing coaching this year as well. “Keeping in mind the Covid pandemic scenario and understanding the plight of parents and students, the state government has decided to continue the platform,” an official explained.
