    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.

    State tries to check large-scale college dropouts

    In a bid to increase enrolment in higher education courses in semi-urban and rural areas, the state government has decided to launch the PG courses in government degree colleges from this academic year. Initially, it will be introduced in 22 degree colleges where the dropout rates after grad uation are very high due to lack of adequate PG colleges. The colleges have been identified in Adilabad, Nizamabad, Karimnagar, Mahbubnagar, Chittoor, Kurnool, Kadapa, Ananta pur, Guntur, Tanuku and Kakinada. Several students in rural areas, specifically from weaker sections, discontinue studies higher due to non-availability of PG colleges in nearby places.
