Telangana Education Minister, G Jagadishwar Reddy said that they will set up a separate Higher Education Council for Telangana State soon. He said that continuing joint admissions for another 10 years will result in compounding problems for students. Stressing the need for conducting separate admissions, he suggested that Telangana and AP Governments have to sit across the table and resolve the issue. Two separate Higher Education Councils will prove handy, he maintained. Besides fee reimbursement, an amicable decision will be taken to protect the interests of the students, he said.
While 70.87 per cent of students passed in Engineering stream, 83.16 percent of students passed in Medicine and Agriculture stream. In Telangana State, 68.86 per cent students in Engineering, 80.98 in Medicine and Agriculture passed. In AP, 72.59 per cent students in Engineering, 86.21 in Medicine and Agriculture passed the exams. OMR sheets can be downloaded from June 10 to 13 and marks lists can be downloaded from June 14 onwards.
He said that Engineering counseling would start on June 29, and Medicine counseling from June 15. (NSS)
