The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has introduced a Mentor application designed to assist students in making informed choices during the seat selection process for professional courses. According to KEA officials, the app aims to reduce the number of vacant seats by providing personalized guidance to aspirants.
Mentor Registration and Role
As per the latest data from KEA, over 4,500 students have registered as mentors so far this year. These mentors are tasked with helping fellow students navigate the complex seat allocation process, ensuring that they select courses and institutions that align with their academic profiles and career aspirations.
How the App Works
The Mentor app connects experienced students with those seeking advice. Mentors provide insights on college preferences, course details, and cutoff trends. The platform also includes features for real-time communication and resource sharing.
- Students can search for mentors based on their stream or college.
- Mentors can share documents and conduct group discussions.
- The app tracks seat availability and previous year data.
KEA officials believe that this initiative will significantly reduce the number of seats that remain vacant each year due to lack of proper guidance. The app is available for download on both Android and iOS platforms.
