  • No placements in T colleges yet.

    Engineering students in Telangana might lose out on placement opportunities since colleges have been closed since September 13 due to the Sakala Janula Samme. IT majors such as Infosys, TCS, Cognizant etc. have failed to conduct campus recruitment drives in these colleges as the managements had declared holidays due to lack of transportation thanks to the RTC strike from September 18.

    Meanwhile, the placement drives in colleges in the Seemandhra region are going on smoothly since August and the managements and students in the T-region fear that their prospects would be hit if there are anymore disruptions. The IT majors have, however, completed placement drives in “Tier-I” colleges in the T-region like the OU Engineering Colleges, JNTU-Hyderabad, CBIT, Vasavi, Gokaraju Rangaraju, Gitam, Srinidhi, Muffakham Jah, Narayanamma, VNR Vignan Jyothi etc. The placements for final year first semester students began in August thanks to Nasscom which advanced the placement season by four months from this year unlike earlier when it used to begin in December.

    The companies were scheduled to begin placement drives in “Tier-II” colleges like KG Reddy, Aurora, St. Mary’s, TRR, Holy Mary etc. from September. However, they had to be put off as the colleges were closed. Normally, colleges train students on soft skills, communication skills, mathematical abilities etc. ahead of placement drives. While the managements haven’t been in a position to conduct any such classes till now, they have decided to conduct classes for Final Year students from Monday when the colleges re-open.

    “We are requesting the T-activists to allow colleges to function at least during placement season. It is in the interests of T-students,” said Mr Krishna Reddy, chairman of KG Reddy group of colleges.

  • Uncertainty over reopening of Educational Institutions, Hyderabad.

    Hyderabad : As the ‘holidays’ declared by the college managements owing to the general strike come to an end on Sunday, students and managements are not sure whether educational institutions will be reopened or not.

    Though the managements desperately want to resume classes, fear factor seems to be working on the managements belonging to people from the Coastal Andhra region. Colleges run by Telangana region people, however, are bit confident of starting the classes from Monday. “There is lot of pressure from parents to open colleges but we are worried about the opposition from parties and groups supporting the general strike. We will be the first target,” admits correspondent of an engineering college.

    He says managements from Telangana region can at least request the protestors and explain their view point. “But we will not be in a position to even talk to them as they will accuse us of belittling the movement,” he says. However, different associations of college managements are confident that the protesters will not have objection to opening the colleges.

    “We have already lost 25 days and the future of our students will be in jeopardy if the closure continues. First year students have hardly attended classes while final year students are serious about their preparations for exams and their plans of higher studies,” said the principal of an engineering college. “We have extended our support to the Telangana agitation and now the JAC should give the education sector some space to put things back on track,” said correspondent of a college, who is a strong supporter of Telangana cause.

    Another factor worrying the colleges and students is the beginning of the placement season. This is the time companies, look to visit colleges for placements and the schedule will go haywire if the closure continues.
