Under this initiative, the Karnataka Government has launched two apps, the GetCETGo App and the Edureader App. The two applications can only be downloaded from the official website I.e., www.GetCETGo.in.

The students who have registered themselves for the test will be provided with the ID and password to access the free course. The state has also provided a helpline number for those students who did not receive their ID and password.

To login to the app or the official website, the student is required to enter its CET roll number. A student can make use of the GetCETGo Application or the official website to start their preparation for the Examination.
As per the release, a platform for crash courses with video lectures, synopsis, interactive test series will be the foremost initiative by any state. The launch of the course on an online platform for competitive examinations in the country will benefit the students on a large scale.
