Eamcet counselling from Aug. 29

The officials of AP State Council of Higher Education finally came out with tentative schedule to begin engineering web-based counselling for admissions into BE, B.Tech and B.Pharmacy courses. The counselling will begin from August 29 and the first phase of admissions will be completed by September 20. The Eamcet notifications will be issued on August 22.

Due to the lack of clarity on the approvals given by the AICTE for the existing and new colleges, the process got delayed. The officials are in the process of obtaining data from AICTE over the actual number of seats available in the colleges. They expect to get the data by August 20. Initially, the process of certificate verification will be taken up in all the helpline centres. Later, students can opt for colleges and courses using the internet. On September 19, seat allotment list will be announced.

T-protest delays exams schedule

The volatile situation in the Telangana region has forced the state government to delay the announcement of the schedule for Eamcet, Icet, Edcet and other common entrance tests.

“We cannot announce the schedule for CETs at this moment. The situation is tense in Telangana region due to student agitations. Unless the situation improves, we cannot think of coming out with the schedule for CETs,” said Prof K.C. Reddy, the chairman of the AP State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE).

Normally, the APSCHE announces the schedule for CETs in November every year. It entrusts the responsibility to conduct each CET to various universities.

Though there will be no change in giving the responsibility of conducting the Eamcet to JNTU-Kukatpally, which has been conducting the exam for over a decade, there will be modifications in conducting

the other CETs such as Icet for MBA, MCA admissions and Edcet for B.Ed admissions.

The universities are concerned with the delay as they need to plan their semester exams based on the schedule announced for common entrance tests (CETs).

Once the job of conducting a particular CET is entrusted, the university concerned needs to make arrangements a few months in advance.

Most of the faculty is engaged in the process, from inviting applications, processing, hall tickets, preparation of question papers, identifying exam centres, valuation of answer scripts and announcement of results.

Engineering admissions last date extended to September 14

The last date for reporting to the colleges for engineering and pharmacy admissions has been extended to September 14 while the second phase would begin two days after that.

APSCHE chairman K.C. Reddy said that the earlier given date of September 11 has been extended to September 14 to give additional time to students. The second phase would be held from September 16 to 23 and more than 11,000 seats would be offered for admission. He said 3,720 seats from 15 new colleges would be added while 2,940 seats have been increased in the existing colleges in various streams.

Prof. Reddy said the council has so far received 539 complaints of which four were purely personal seeking change of seat for family reasons. The remaining complaints were looked into and none of them is found to be genuine where software or allotment process can be questioned. Among the 535 complaints, 29 were cases of rankers below 40,000 not securing seats. Another 473 were above 40,000 ranks and failed to get a seat. All these candidates gave only a few options and thus lost a chance to get admission. On complaints of excess fee collection by college managements, Prof. Reddy said students need to pay only Rs. 5,500 special fee apart from the tuition fee. He asked the students to lodge complaint with the APSCHE if colleges collect excess fee under any pretext.

Meanwhile, students started reporting at the colleges despite the short time given to them. In majority colleges 70 per cent of students reported and by Friday the number is likely to increase. “We are expecting nearly 90 per cent admissions by Friday,” said Rajeshwar Reddy, General Secretary of A.P. Private Engineering Colleges Managements Association.

Students comfortable with revised web counselling

The revised schedule of engineering counselling began on a smooth note on Monday with the increased server capacity helping students to log in and choose their options without any problems.

The reduction in the number of students allowed to log in in the first stage from 50,000 to 25,000 made all the difference as there was less clogging on the site. Students looked visibly happy with the faster response on the pages whenever they saved the information. “It is much faster and we are able to concentrate more on giving options than worrying about the system,” said Vivek, an engineering aspirant.

APSCHE Secretary M.D. Christopher said response from all the centres was positive and students faced no problems with the process. Officials at the helpline centres agreed that the enhanced speed resulted in less number of students visiting them as they preferred to give their options from home or Internet centres.

“Earlier, all of them rushed to the nearest centre as they faced problems due to heavy load on servers,” explained an official. “Now we are able to assist students with patience.”

Candidates at the helpline centre at Jawaharlal Nehru Government Polytechnic, Ramanthapur, expressed happiness at the assistance provided to them. About 1,200 students visited the centre for either giving web options or certificate verification.

Chaganti Subba Rao, Principal of the Polytechnic, said they distributed pamphlets giving clear information on the facilities provided to them and the redressal system if they had any problems.
Doubts cleared

Information on web counselling was given on large screens using LCD projector followed by an interaction session clearing the apprehensions personally.

However, some students at the helpline centre in Masab Tank maintained that the second chance helped them understand the counselling process comfortably given the previous experience of giving options. Mock counselling or some practice sessions would have helped the students a lot, they felt.

1,93,275 seats up for grabs for engineering aspirants

In all 1,93,275 seats in 577 engineering colleges will be available for Eamcet qualifiers this year under SW-I counselling.

The process will begin on Wednesday with the commencement of verification of certificates in 50 helpline centres set up in all the district headquarters.
Of those, 21 are government colleges and the rest 556 are private.
This is an additional 35,000 seats over last year. This year, the counselling will be entirely ‘web-based’ and the students should exercise options on colleges and courses in order of their priorities from July 31 to August 16. The allotment of seats will be made on August 17. The websites are http://apeamcet.nic.
in, http://apicet.nic.in.

The total number of engineering colleges in the state stands at 631. The state also has over 2.15 lakh engineering seats, the highest in the country.
There are 48,310 seats in computer science engineering, 53,120 seats in electronics and communication engineering, 32,625 seats in electrical and electronics engineering, 28,975 seats information technology, 13,095 seats in mechanical engineering, 11,005 seats in civil engineering.

“We have placed the entire list of colleges and courses on the website. It will be accessible to the students from Tuesday. We have not included 19 colleges as they failed to secure the required approvals from AICTE, the state government and the universities concerned,” said Prof K.C.Reddy, chairman, AP State Council of Higher Education.

Free engineering seats to be scrapped

There will be no “free seats” in engineering colleges this year. The state has decided to stop AICTE’s “tuition fee waiver scheme” as it has extended the “total fee reimbursement scheme” to all the students, whose annual family income is below Rs 1 lakh.
The AICTE had introduced the scheme for women, economically backward students (annual income less than Rs 2.5 lakh) and physically handicapped meritorious students in 2007.
Last year, about 5,000 students in the state had availed the AICTE’s scheme and secured seats in some of the top engineering colleges.

Under the scheme, any recognised college affiliated to AICTE can voluntarily waiver the tuition fee up to 10 per cent of its sanctioned intake of students. The institution is allowed to admit 10 per cent additional students in the same discipline.
However, the introduction of ‘total fee reimbursement’ scheme by the state government during the last academic year had affected the AICTE’s scheme.

The fee reimbursement scheme was applicable to only reserved quota students from BC, SC, ST, PHC and minorities during the last academic year. But the government has extended the scheme to students from economically backward classes (EBCs) from this year. The officials of higher education department said there was no need to implement AICTE’s scheme as the state has been implementing the fee reimbursement scheme for all the students from this year.
However, students said that with the AICTE’s scheme, EBC families with an income of up to Rs 2.5 lakh per annum could avail the “tuition fee waiver”. But, now only families with an income of below Rs 1 lakh per annum can avail the state government’s “total fee reimbursement scheme”. Several EBC students with income limit in the range of above Rs 1 lakh and below Rs 2.5 lakh will lose the opportunity to pursue engineering courses, they said.

A few EBC unions are planning to meet the Chief Minister, Dr Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy, to urge him to continue the scheme.

Engg. aspirants caught in ‘web’

Web counselling introduced from this academic year for engineering and pharmacy courses doesn’t seem to be fair for students since it robs them of the comfort factor while choosing their choice of course and institution.

The process that is likely to reduce the cumbersome counselling procedure will create more problems for students rather than making them comfortable, feels J.R. Subrahmanayam, an IT expert who is involved with the Technical Education Quality Improvement Programme (TEQUIP) of World Bank.

Though more than 3,000 options are being offered, students will not be able to exercise more than 20 to 30 options.

Realistically, every student looks at not more than 30 options taking into account the quality of college and proximity, which are two parameters that are generally considered while taking admission. In the previous online counselling procedure students had this advantage of comparison between these parameters vis-À-vis the choice of course. Even the top rankers will have a slight disadvantage in this aspect in web counselling and they may land up in the less preferred college or course, he feels.

Academics also remind that future of the student would get locked up during the counselling and now they would be taking a blind shot through this process. “How can such an unfair situation be allowed for counselling if the government feels the procedure is cumbersome and time consuming,” Prof. Subrahmanyam asks.

The possibility of candidates getting closer to their choice looks uncertain through web counselling, he feels.

Moreover, students will be choosing their preferences based on last year’s seat matrix but demand for courses change from time-to-time and previous year’s matrix cannot be the right model, feel many teachers. For example preference for Computer Sciences and IT will come down drastically this year unlike last year. A year before that situation was totally different. Such wild swings cannot be the basis for choosing preferences.
Apprehensions

Teachers also feel that web counselling for Polytechnics and Engineering colleges cannot be compared given the huge variations in numbers, demand, background of students and the value of degree. Moreover, the government has done little to infuse confidence among students and parents on the process apart from making them comfortable with the new system.

‘There is no short-cut to hard work’

About 20 per cent of students pursuing medical education in India drop out due to either losing interest in it or unable to understand the dynamics of the course due to various reasons and to help students of Katuri Medical College, the management organised a symposium on ‘Medical education’ on Sunday.

The symposium was formally inaugurated by veteran surgeon of Guntur Kasaraneni, who asked the students to protect the morality in the profession and said it was a sacred act of public service. Guntur Government General Hospital Superintendent D. Phanibhushan explained the latest trends, opportunities in medical education and said there was no short-cut to hard work. The students opting for the medicine stream need to get prepared for a long period of education till they completed post-graduation to become expert in any particular super-specialty.

College executive director Y. Rajeswara Rao said such symposium was needed to help students cope with medical education, and understand what were the openings for the students passing out of MBBS. College Dean KSN Rao explained about the importance of medical profession, importance of selecting the right institution, need for practical work and exposure in hospitals etc. The Katuri Medical College with latest equipment like MRI scan and CT Scan could provide good exposure to the students in the attached Hospital at Chinakondrupadu.

Some students took admission for fancy, but later choose not to pursue the profession, which was loss of time and money, said Mr. Rajeswara Rao.
