  • ICET second counselling from October 24.

    HYDERABAD : After keeping students on tenterhooks for nearly a month, the second phase of counselling for category-B admissions of ICET- 2011 for admission into MBA and MCA courses has been scheduled for October 24.

    While the second phase of counselling will be held on two days, the allotments would be made public by October 27, as per the decision taken by the Andhra Pradesh State Council for Higher Education (APSCHE).

    “Due to delay in starting the course, the candidates for Pharma-D course will be asked to report within 4 to 5 days after allotment of seats,” Dr N Rajasekhar Reddy, secretary of APSCHE, said.

    The counselling for pharma-D course would be held from October 28 and 31 and allotment of seats would be made by November 3. The second phase of counselling for EdCET will be held from November 2-5 and classes from November 14.

  • No regulator to filter fraud IT companies.

    While Andhra Pradesh boasts of being a major information technology hub, competing closely with Bengaluru, its IT sector, of late, has been plagued by sham companies. There have been four cases of fraud registered by the police in the last two months, the latest being of Teleonto Techno-logies Private Limited, an IT company operating out of Gachibowli. There is no regulatory authority in place to filter out the fly-by-night companies. Although the Software Technology Parks of India is responsible for clearing registration of companies, it mainly plays the role of promoter, not regulator.

    “There is no regulatory authority that can take action against such companies or filter out the fraud companies. STPI has the power to accept registration of companies, but most of the fraud companies do not even apply for registration and start operating from any address,” indicated a member of Nasscom.
    Many fraudulent companies try to seek business opportunities under government schemes on the basis of the number of people employed. They take money from potential employees as a deposit or training fee and once they have collected a reasonable amount, they just vanish. In fact, it is pretty easy to float an IT company — all you have to do is show an office address. There are enough people eager to land an IT job without looking too closely at a company’s credentials.
