#cet

Remember the not-so good old days of our times at the CET Cell of Karnataka:  

All that tension, all that hustle, 

Those big projector screens that displayed real-time seat selection, 

Those big A-3 seat matrices sold outside the premises, 

That nagging Future-Uncertain feeling, 

Carrying Demand Drafts for the specified amount - not knowing where you will end up,

Calling the 'experts' who had faced this ordeal earlier for advice as the colleges and seats dwindled, The HOT SEAT where you had to look at the numbers on the screen and make a selection on-spot, 

All the tensed parents who were as worried as their kids, 

That excruciating whole day affair - from document verification to seat confirmation to payment(each stage pushing your patience and peace to the limit), 

That mumbling about having to come again for second/casual rounds and going through all of it again

Finally the mix of exasperation and happiness at the end of it all....

Well; all that roller-coaster ride is no longer there...

The Karnataka CET cell is now a calm place - which you visit only once - to get your documents verified - then get a key and a password to an online portal that allows to choose your preferred courses and colleges - and walk out  tension-free in half an hour.

Everything else is done almost stress-free right at your comfort: online.

Truly, time changes everything - and many times for the better..
