Mohammed Younus/ Hyderabad : Engineering college managements demanded the Telangana government to release the pending fee reimbursement dues without linking it with the state-level task force report on the functioning of engineering colleges. Calling it an untimely report, the college managements expressed their discomfort over the timing of release of the report. The report was released when the EAMCET counseling for admissions into the engineering colleges of the state have been stalled due to the indecision on fee reimbursement and nativity in Telangana.
Telangana Engineering and Professional College Management Association (TEPCMA) chairman N Goutham Rao said on Thursday that the time selected to release the findings of task force was not right. He said that this may lead to students deter from taking admissions into engineering courses and would bring disrepute to the higher education. He said that the government should give time to the underperforming colleges and if still lapses are found, action should be taken against the erring colleges. He claimed that most of the colleges reached the stage of poor performance only because of the delay in payment of fee reimbursement dues.
The task force report revealed that only 10 per cent of colleges have a good track record of results and only a few have good infrastructure. The report also claimed that out of Rs 4,000 crore released by the government only Rs 1,500 crore was reaching the real students. The report said that several colleges were established only to take the benefits of fee reimbursement. Most of the colleges don’t even have proper faculty and infrastructure but they showed more number of students every year.
The task force appointed on August 11, 2012 inspected 685 engineering colleges across both the states between October 2012 and March 2013. Only 120 out of 700 colleges submitted their performance, infrastructure and other reports.
