Hyderabad, October 16: The AP State Council for Higher Education has intimated to all managements of private and non-minority engineering colleges
against violating interim orders issued by the High Court regarding filling of management quota seats.
Earlier, with no takers for management quota (30 per cent) seats in many non-minority colleges, the managements had approached the council for a third phase of counselling as is done in respect of the convener quota. This was questioned in the High Court. Accordingly, the court has made it clear that half the management quota seats be filled with Non-Resident Indian (NRI) students and that the managements fill the remaining 15 per cent of the seats on basis of candidates’ performance in Eamcet.
The APSCHE officials have also pointed out that the High Court has directed that if there were any more unfilled seats, they must be filled only by candidates who have qualified in the Eamcet examination.
The council has in no uncertain words told the managements that they might have to face derecognition in case of violation of the above directives issued to them.
Meanwhile, the final counselling for children of Armed Forces personnel for admission to five-year integrated BTech in AP-IIITs is scheduled for October 21 in the conference hall of the higher education council. Candidates need to bring along original certificates and selections would be on the basis of vacancies.
The registrar of the Rajiv Gandhi University of Knowledge Technologies (RGUKT) has said that call letters had been dispatched to candidates.
