EAMCET will release counselling notification on 23rd August 2012
Counselling for admissions to engineering colleges is likely to commence on August 23 and classes will commence in the third week of September.
The uncertainty surrounding the EAMCET engineering counselling in the state of Andhra Pradesh will finally see a conclusion. According to sources, private engineering colleges have expressed their consent and accepted fee norms proposed by the state government. Affidavits will be submitted today by college managements accepted the revised fee structure i.e Rs 35,000 as annual tuition fee for both free & management quota seats.
There will be no fee hike for MBA, MCA and B.Pharmacy courses in the state this year.
The total number of engineering seats in the state is 3.2 lakh and only two lakh candidates have qualified in the EAMCET. Of the qualified, around 50,000 students have migrated to other states.
The government issued two ordinances and a GO to control the engineering colleges. However, when the managements finally agreed to the fee fixed by the government, the government will not go aggressively in enforcing the ordinance and the GO. The government is likely to ask the task forces, which are supervised by an IPS officer, to go slow on inspecting the engineering colleges to know whether they are following AICTE norms or not.
