Statements from Authorities on KEA mobile app & chatbot

KEA Executive Director H. Prasanna highlighted the improvements, stating, “Earlier, students used to complain that filing CET application forms would take 2-3 hours as some columns, like Kannada medium and rural category, had to be filled for every academic year they studied. This time, students will not have to upload any documents except for a signature in JPG format and a photo. 

“One of the biggest challenges faced by students in previous years was contacting KEA through helplines as they remained engaged most of the time.  We receive around 13,000 calls daily during CET season. We can’t attend to so many calls in one day; we studied the call types, and 30-40% of calls comprise the same questions. A chatbot can easily handle them,”  said KEA executive director H Prasanna.
