  • 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.

  • Few takers for management quota seats in BE colleges.

    HYDERABAD: Engineering seats under management quota are the lowest priced commodity in the state’s educational business scene this year. The management quota seats in engineering colleges are priced lower than the convener quota seats where the fee is about Rs 31,000. Several colleges which used to ‘sell’ their management seats charging a hefty donation of about Rs 7 to 8 lakh per student have slashed their management quota fees to a meager Rs 20,000 to 50,000 per annum as a majority of these seats are left vacant as of now.

    While colleges like Shadan Group have come up with advertisements stating that students could pay about Rs 31,000 to take admission in their management seats, others like S V Group of Colleges and Swathi Institute of Technology and Sciences have offered free hostel and transport facilities to attract students. Other colleges which are selling their seats for fees lower than the prescribed Rs 95,000 per annum are CMR, Bharath, Malla Reddy and Gurunanak group of colleges. Some of the colleges, including Younis Sultan College of Engineering, SSIT, Dundigal, Ellanki College, Lingapally and Hasvita Institution are offering their management quota seats for anywhere between Rs 15,000 and Rs 50,000. Interestingly, all these colleges have sent their new tariffs to prospective students via SMSs for fresh enrolments.

    The colleges have slashed their fees as about 80,000 seats are left vacant under the convener quota (merit seats) even as the first phase of Eamcet counselling got over this week. Usually, management quota seats that form 30 per cent of the total number of seats (2.81 lakh) in the state get filled if students fail to get admission under convener quota.

    Consultants hired by engineering colleges to sell off their seats say that many of the top colleges in the state, including CVSR College, Nallamalla Reddy College and Siddhartha College, the seats of which used to get filled within 10 days of announcement of admissions, are lying vacant even now. “Some of the streams, including IT, mechanical and civil engineering have few takers in these colleges this year,” said a hired consultant of Manikanta Educational Consultancy. The consultancies are also hunting for SC, ST and BC students this year as admitting students from these categories would ensure grants from the state government. “A management quota seat for a regular B Sc degree in a reputed college would range between Rs 40,000 to Rs 55,000. And unlike the engineering college seats the value of these courses have not dipped so drastically,” said an educationist.
