Bengaluru CET Exam Controversy: Students Allegedly Forced to Remove Sacred Threads Despite Official Permission

On April 23 in Bengaluru, students appearing for the CET exam at Krupanidhi PU College were allegedly forced to remove sacred threads despite official permission from KEA guidelines. The incident caused emotional distress, led to staff suspension, police action, and government intervention, raising serious concerns over exam protocol enforcement.

On April 23, during the Common Entrance Test examination at Krupanidhi Pre-University College in Bengaluru, at least three to seven students were allegedly compelled to remove their sacred threads before appearing for the Physics and Chemistry papers. This action was reportedly taken despite clear guidelines issued by the Karnataka Examinations Authority permitting students to retain such religious symbols.

According to accounts shared by one of the affected students, the incident caused significant emotional distress. The student stated that he felt deeply upset and was unable to concentrate on writing the examination properly, resulting in a disrupted performance.

Following the incident, the college administration took immediate disciplinary action. The principal suspended three staff members in connection with the alleged misconduct. Meanwhile, based on a complaint filed by a parent, the police registered a case and initiated an official investigation into the matter.

The incident has also drawn attention from senior government authorities. Higher Education Minister M. C. Sudhakar described the episode as deeply troubling and directed officials to take appropriate action while ensuring a thorough inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the event.
