  • Many more colleges may shut shop.

    Of the total 62,860 MBA seats available in the convenor quota, only 39,719 were filled, leaving 23,141 seats empty. In MCA courses, 241 colleges had admissions in the range of just zero to nine, 71 colleges had 10-19 and 27 colleges had 20-29 admissions. In MBA courses, in 101 colleges, only nine seats were filled, while 129 colleges had admissions in the range of 10-19 and 104 colleges had 20-29.

    The managements of MBA and MCA colleges and officials of the higher education department, meanwhile, are expecting the worst since only 50,193 students out of 1,26,619 qualified students turned up for counselling. While 70 per cent of the total seats are filled in the convener quota through Icet counselling, the remaining 30 per cent seats are in the management quota. The annual fee is `27,000 in the convener quota and `78,000 in the management quota. This year, all seats in the management quota have remained vacant barring top-20 colleges.

    The state currently has 51 university MBA colleges with an intake of 2,590 seats and 886 private MBA colleges offering 60,270 seats. There are 43 university MCA colleges with 1,998 seats and 591 private MCA colleges offering 29,183 seats. Hundreds of MCA colleges came up in the state in the last five years to cash in on the IT boom. However the poor response from students forced around 200 colleges to close down over the last two years. The managements fear that 159 colleges more will down their shutters this year.

    Phase II of Icet counselling will be held on September 13 and 14. The seat allotment list will be out on Sept-ember 15. Phase II of Eamcet engineering counselling will be held on September 5.

  • Outside tech colleges eye AP fee sops.

    Several deemed and private universities located in other states offering engineering courses have asked the state government to incorporate them in its “list of prestigious institutions”. This way, students from Andhra Pradesh who take admission in these institutions will become eligible for scholarships and the fee reimbursement scheme.

    At present, the state government provides scholarships and fee reimbursement for AP students who take admissions in prestigious institutions like the IITs, NITs and BITS-Pilani. Engineering colleges in the state, however, have strongly opposed the proposal stating that it would further fuel migration of students and push them deeper into crisis.

    With 1.5 lakh seats going vacant in the state this year, the college managements are worried that if the state provides scholarships to students to pursue engineering in other states, it will prove disastrous for them. Their contention is that about 72,500 students who qualified in Eamcet but skipped counselling this year have migrated to other states and more students will migrate due to political disturbances in the state if the government provides scholarships to these students.

    Every year, thousands of students from the state take admissions in engineering and pharmacy courses in several deemed and private universities in other states. The demand is more for institutions in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.
