Engineering Counselling from July 30th

 

The month long stalemate over engineering admissions in AP and Telangana states seems to end soon as AP higher education council has decided to start counselling process from July 30th and verification process of confirmation letters from August 7th in both states. The council has invited principal secretaries of education departments of both states to the meeting held today at Hyderabad, but T-secretary didn’t attend the meeting, probably because his government has filed a petition in Supreme Court asking to postpone the counselling process till October. However, the higher educational council has decided to start counselling process from July 30th, since Supreme Court has also assured that it will not ask to stop the counselling process. So, it seems the hurdles for the engineering admissions were removed.

 

In case, if T-Government still sticks to its decision to conduct counselling in October month, then AP government may fill-up all the local quota seats through EAMCET system and may leave 15 percent non-local seats.
