After earlier talks between the government and the colleges failing to prove conclusive, a decision has been taken to split the engineering college seats admission in Karnataka in the ratio 55:45 between the government and private colleges. No decision has been taken about medical and dental colleges yet, or on the conduction of a single entrance examination.

The 55% of the seats belonging to the government will have a single-slab fee of Rs.25,000 (as against the two slab system of 15,000 and 85,000 that was followed last year).

The college seat share of 45% will be divided into 3 categories:

• 25% of seats will be filled on basis of a common entrance test (max fee of Rs. 1.25 lakhs)
• 15% of seats will be filled under NRI quota (no fee cap)
• 5% of seats will be filled under a institution discretionary quota (no fee cap)

Another round of talks for medical/dental courses is scheduled to be held on February 8. Last year, the ratio was 50:50.
