  • Attendance relief for BE students.

    In a relief to about 3,000 engineering students from the Telangana region, who are facing shortage of attendance to appear for semester exams, the Osmania University and JNTU-Hyderabad have decided to give attendance relaxation to compensate for classes missed during the Sakala Janula Samme in September and October. Out of the total 710 engineering colleges in the state, about 315 are located in the T-region and are affiliated to JNTU-Hyderabad and Osmania University.

    While about 2,500 students under the purview of JNTU-Hyderabad were declared ineligible to appear for semester exams this month due to less than 75 per cent attendance, another 500 students from OU were found ineligible. OU has decided to add two-week attendance for all its BE/ B.Tech students to compensate for the loss of attendance on account of lack of transport facilities during the strike period. However, the university made it clear that the relaxation will be applicable only for this year as a special case and will not be a precedent. Similarly, JNTU-Hyderabad had decided to give 25 per cent attendance relaxation. However, students have to pay a fees of Rs 300 to avail the relaxation. Students with 40 per cent attendance and above will also be allowed to appear for exams. Both the universities were under tremendous pressure from students, parents and public representatives who were demanding attendance relaxation.

  • Agitation hits tech. students.

    Engineering students in Telangana region are facing the risk of ‘attendance shortage’ due to holidays announced by college managements in support of Sakala Janula Samme. Same is the case with MBA, MCA, M.Tech, B.Pharmacy and M.Pharmacy students since these courses are also offered by the same engineering colleges on the same campus.

    Out of total 717 engineering colleges in the state, about 365 are in Telangana alone. About 4 lakh students are pursuing various professional courses in these colleges. These colleges have remain closed since September 18 and there is no clarity when the colleges will reopen though the managements expect it to happen only after October 9. With this, students are facing the risk of not meeting the minimum 75 per cent attendance norm to appear for semester exams.

    The JNTU-Hyderabad, which governs over 90 per cent of the engineering colleges in Telangana region, made it clear that it has not announced any holidays for engineering colleges, the managements have declared holidays till the APSRTC resumes its bus services completely. Students are worried after they received SMSes from JNTU-Hyderabad stating that it has not declared any holidays on account of strike and colleges should function normally. As per existing rules, it is mandatory for every engineering student to have 75 per cent attendance to sit for the exams. A 10 per cent concession is given on medical grounds but students having below 65 per cent attendance are not allowed to take the exams.
