KEA Warns Students of Fake Website Collecting Data
A website pretending to be the official KEA site is tricking students.
It looks real and asks for personal info like names and emails.
Once you enter your data, a success message will be displayed.
The real KEA says it doesn't use such forms.
The fake site even sent out a counseling invite.
The police are now looking into it.
A fake website (k-cet.org) mimics the official KEA portal.
The fake site collects student details like names and contact info.
KEA's official website is cetonline.karnataka.gov.in/kea.
The fake website has been active since April 9.
Police have registered a case under the IT Act.
