What is Karnataka Professional Education Regulation Act 2006

• ·        No government quota seats in any private institution.

• ·        Unaided Non-Minority must provide 50% quota along Karnataka government lines. SC / ST / OBC (5 subgroups).
• ·         Unaided Minority need not provide SC/ST/OBC quota but must ensure 66% of seats are allocated to that minority group that runs the college.
• ·        No upper limit to fees. Each college can set fees according to its location, infrastructure, quality, etc. A 2-Judge panel will nail complaints of exorbitant fees.
• ·         A 15% NRI ( or NRI sponsor quota) is allowed even encouraged for purposes of cross subsidization.
• ·        Only two entrance tests are envisioned. CET for govt colleges and ComedK, which is an all India test for private colleges. Things are still up in the air as minority colleges want their own test. But this is a rough formula.
