Mohammed Younus/ Hyderabad : Educationists, student unions and parents of EAMCET qualified students are annoyed with the decision of Telangana government to delay the counselling for admission into engineering and medical courses. They condemned the government’s decision to delay counselling, as it may cause exodus of students from the State. Progressive Democratic Student Union state president J L Gowtham Prasad said that there was sufficient staff to conduct EAMCET counselling in the State.
He said that the government was trying to detach itself from the fee reimbursement scheme. Because of the delay in decision over nativity, the whole process had been stopped, he revealed. Student Federation of India state president Shobhan Mood said that with this decision, students were contemplating to go to other states for their studies, where there was a strict academic schedule. “Such actions are driving students to the private and deemed universities, which will see them paying more for their studies,” he rued. Educationists urged the government not to postpone the counselling as it would waste the precious time of the students.
Assistant professor S Kiran Kumar said that the qualified students of EAMCET were expecting the academic year to start early this time, but with the government’s announcement, they were under severe mental pressure. Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) state president Jamalpur Niranjan alleged that State government wanted to get rid of the fee reimbursement scheme by showing irrelevant reasons for the proposed delay. He said, “If government is really committed to help the student community, it can easily conduct the counseling and give fee reimbursement to the poor and eligible student, but it is not sincere enough on this issue.”
He said that ABVP would organise a statewide agitation on Friday and observe educational institutions bandh on July 15. He alleged that state government had hatched a plan to escape fee reimbursement by delaying the counseling. Blaming both AP and Telangana governments, he accused both of being insincere in their promises. According to Supreme Court guidelines, the academic year in the professional colleges should be started from August 1. Earlier, it was reported that EAMCET counseling would start by July 5 or 7, but with no concrete stance on fee reimbursement, the counseling has been put on hold for a longer period.
