  • Tech colleges slash fees.

    Engineering colleges are making last ditch efforts to sell seats. Managements are offering B.Tech seats for just Rs 60,000 for the entire four-year course. In addition to this, many colleges are offering free transport and hostel accommodation at subsidised price. The government has given additional time to the managements to fill seats due to the Sakala Janula Samme.

    Earlier, the deadline for filling the seats through conducting spot admissions was October 15. However, the government has extended the deadline to October 31 as per the request of the managements who argued that they could not conduct spot admissions as the colleges were closed due to the Sakala Janula Samme from September 13.

    Be it convenor quota or management quota, the price remains the same. As per the fee structure prescribed by the government, the tuition fee for a convenor quota seat is Rs 31,000 per annum, while it is Rs 95,000 for a management quota seat. Despite conducting two phases of Eamcet engineering counselling, 84,971 seats out of the 1,92,944 seats remained vacant.
