    24,500 reject Eamcet seats in phase I

    As many as 24,500 students who were allotted seats in the first phase of Eamcet engineering counselling did not take admissions thus taking the total number of vacant seats in the convenor quota to 69,000 in 692 engineering colleges in the state.

    While 1,49,410 students were allotted seats in the first phase, only 1,24,919 students reported at the respective colleges for admissions. The due date to report at the respective colleges ended on October 6.

    To make matters worse, 8,674 candidates have cancelled their admissions.

    Managements of several engineering colleges that have less than 100 admissions are now requesting the government to shift their students to other colleges as they cannot run with “lean strength” and suffer losses.

  • Engg colleges hire agents to get students

    Engg colleges hire agents to get students!

    HYDERABAD : “The number of students who had come for engineering counselling this year was less than the total number of engineering seats. Hence the colleges have hired agents. We suspect even helpers and data operators at e-seva centres must have colluded with colleges to get students to opt for their colleges,” said M D Christopher, secretary, APSCHE. The agent also takes a token amount from the students’ parents for filling up of the online web counselling `college option form’. Over a 100 new engineering colleges that have come up in the recent past seem to be the least favourite among students, say officials.

    Meanwhile, on a positive note, the officials of APSCHE said that most of the admissions in engineering colleges take place on the last day for reporting to colleges. “We expect more students to take admissions on Wednesday,” they said.

    Christopher, however, added that the students taking admission in the second phase of engineering counselling which began on Tuesday should opt for as many colleges as possible for there could be vacancies even in the top most engineering colleges. “Even though a seat might not be available in web counselling currently it might fall vacant after Wednesday,” he said.
