Metro News/ Hyderabad : Although the counselling process in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana for admission to engineering colleges has begun, the fate of the colleges identified by the Telangana government for poor performance is not clear. Whether the government would allow such colleges to admit students this year remains unanswered. The governments of both the States are not forthcoming on the fate of engineering colleges with substandard infrastructure and below par performance.
The AFRC and the university granting affiliation would decide the category on the basis of performance and infrastructure of the colleges
Around 315 engineering colleges in Telangana and 330 in AP have been asked by the EAMCET committee to participate in counselling.
The Task Force committee, in its report, had revealed that more than 120 colleges were running with ‘a poorest of the poor’ infrastructure and ought to be shut down by the government. The committee, appointed in 2012 (before bifurcation), submitted its report in July 2014. The task force report revealed that only 10 percent colleges have a good track record in respect of results and only a few of them have good infrastructure.
The committee had surveyed 680 engineering colleges, but only 120 out of 700 colleges submitted their performance and infrastructure reports to the committee. The EAMCET committee officials informed that list of SW1 colleges (with good track record) and SW2 colleges in Telangana would be forwarded to the Telangana government by August 16 and to the AP government by August 15. It is not clear how many colleges figured in SW 1 and SW 2, as this has to be decided by the Admissions and Fee Regulation Committee (AFRC) members. Telangana Engineering and Professional Colleges Management Association (TEPCMA) chairman N Goutham Rao said that all the member colleges of his organisation were called for participation in counselling.
He, however, said that he had no data on how many colleges were listed in SW1, SW2 and SW3 categories. The AFRC and the university granting affiliation would decide the category on the basis of performance and infrastructure of the colleges. Colleges with better performance and infrastructure would be put in SW1 category; minority and second rate colleges are listed in SW 2 category, while the remaining colleges are under SW3 category. Asked about the weeding out of colleges with poor infrastructure in the State, Telangana Technical Education Commissioner Sailaja Ram Iyer said that it would be decided by the State government and AFRC and she was only concerned with the admissions.
