EAMCET 2010 Ranks To Be Out On July 20.

Eamcet ranks will be declared only on July 20 and not on July 16 as announced earlier. The release of ranks will be delayed as the Board of Intermediate Education (BIE) will be able to come out with their re-evaluation marks only on July 18.

Since 25 per cent weightage is given for Intermediate marks while calculating Eamcet ranks, JNTU authorities incharge of Eamcet 2010, decided to delay the release of ranks by four days.

"The board authorities had earlier informed Eamcet committee that they will be able to come out with the re-evaluation marks before July 15. Hence the tentative date of release of ranks was fixed as July 16. But since they extended their deadline, we too had to do the same," said D N Reddy, convener, Eamcet committee.

Meanwhile, the BIE authorities informed that they will need some time till July 18 to complete the valuation process as they received around 8,000 applications for re-evaluation due to allegations of flawed valuation of Intermediate Public Examination (IPE) answer scripts this year.

Meanwhile, JNTU authorities said that even if the BIE fails to deliver the results by July 18, they will have to declare the results on July 20 or 21 as medical counselling is scheduled to begin on July 26.

No Increase In College Management Quota

The state government has ruled out any increase in management quota seats in professional colleges for this academic year (2010-11).
The decision will be a boon for merit students who qualified in Eamcet and Icet as any increase in management quota seats would have automatically resulted in the decrease of convener quota seats, which has a low fee structure.

Currently, the seat sharing between the government and managements in professional colleges for engineering, pharmacy, MBA and MCA courses is in the ratio of 70:30.
The professional colleges had been asking for an increase in the management quota seats and fee structure this year. They had said that the existing pattern was unviable and was pushing the colleges towards financial crisis.

After more than two months of dilly-dallying over the issue, the state government has now conveyed to the college managements that it has no plans to increase management quota seats this year. A formal announcement on the issue will be made on July 15, when the government will take a final decision on increasing the fee structure.

The managements are now pinning their hopes on an increase in the fee structure though reports indicate that the government is not in favour of a fee hike at this stage.

Various associations of professional colleges are trying to come under one roof and put pressure on the government to hike the fee at least by 10 per cent — though they are demanding a hike of over 20 per cent.
The decision to not increase management quota seats came as a surprise for private college managements who had anticipated that the government would definitely hike the quota to ease its financial burden on account of the fee reimbursement scheme.

EAMCET 2010 Counselling May Be Delayed By A Month.

EAMCET-2010 counselling for admissions to engineering colleges in the state is likely to be delayed by about a month, leading to a further delay in the commencement of classes for first-year engineering students.

The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE)has recently sanctioned about 30,000 seats by permitting new engineering colleges and allowing an increase in th eintake of students in the existing colleges. This will be in addition to the existing 2.3.lakh engineering seats in 659 colleges.

According to EAMCET 2010 officials,the process of giving affliation to the new colleges and inspection of the infrastructure in the existing colleges will take a couple of months."Unless the inspection and affliation process is complete, we cannot include the new colleges inthe list for undertaking counselling which is inevitable.we are therefore compelled to postpone EAMCET counselling," said an official.

Officials of the AP State Council for Higher Education(APSCHE) said they were yet to receive th elist of newly-sanctioned colleges from the AICTE authorities.Though EAMCET officials planned to complete the counselling by the end of july, they have decided to wait till the results of revaluation and recounting are out later this month. many students applied for revalvation and recounting suspecting unfair valuation of their Intermediate answersheets.

Besides, the state government is yet to take decisions pertaining to fee hike as well as changes in the convener and management quota.Though engineering colleges are demanding
a hike in the tuition fee, officials feel that the government is unlikely to permit it since reimbursement of fee for certain group of students will be an additional burden on the state.

EAMCET 2010, ICET Counselling May Be Delayed , Ed-CET Counselling Will Start First

Officials are toying with the idea of conducting Eamcet and ICET counselling in August and start classes in September while advancing the Ed-CET counselling to the last week of this month. The delay in Eamcet counselling, which the officials planned to complete in the last week of July, is due to two factors.

First, Eamcet final ranks are delayed this year as the officials decided to wait till the results of revaluation and recounting are out, and the second is the sanction of a large number of colleges this year by the AICTE despite the State government sending signals against it. The officials expected less than 10,000 seats to be added this year, but to their shock, nearly 30,000 more seats were sanctioned by the AICTE giving permission to new colleges as well as increasing the intake in the existing institutions.

Officials say the process of giving affiliations to the new colleges and inspection of infrastructure in the existing colleges will take a longer time than expected and that will force them to shift Eamcet counselling to August. But they are not sure whether even that deadline will be sufficient as the government is yet to decide on the convener and management quota as well as the fee structure for this year.

Moreover, there is no clarity on the dynamics involved in the web counselling process. Though the officials say the web counselling will stay, they are not sure whether to conduct the verification of certificates much before the web counselling, as planned earlier, or along with the counselling process.

In fact, officials are yet to go on record on web counselling and whether they plan to infuse some changes to make the process easier for the rural students. Students and parents are demanding that mock web counselling be allowed for them to have a feel of the process so that they will have more faith in the system and allotment process.

Officials feel there are no issues with Ed.CET counselling and that can be cleared smoothly. The infrastructure is ready and pressure of B.Ed. counselling is not as much as engineering and medical counselling.

EAMCET 2011 May Introduce More Transparent System In Entrance Exam

To make the EAMCET more transparent, authorities are considering introducing a carbon copy to the Optical Metric Reader (OMR) sheet where the students mark their answers. If the system is introduced students can take away the carbon copy right after the examination and it will help them calculate the exact marks once the key is released.

“We want to study the system that exists in Karnataka and make changes if necessary and introduce it from next year,” the EAMCET Committee Chairman, D.N. Reddy said. “This will drive away unnecessary doubts among parents as they will have access to the answer sheet of their wards,” he said.

Prof. Reddy said the EAMCET is already transparent with students allowed to apply for an OMR sheet after the results are announced and our state is the only one in the country to provide this facility. “Moreover, we also seek objections from students and teachers on the key and make changes to it if necessary before going for valuation,” he said.

Providing the carbon will be another feature to infuse confidence among aspirants. At the same time, he did not rule out some students creating problems with tampered carbon copies. He said about 2,000 students applied for photocopy of OMR answer sheets this year and re-verification but not a single fault was found after the scrutiny.

A committee consisting of senior professors - Venugopal Reddy, Principal, Osmania University College of Engineering and Shiv Shanker, a professor in the ANGRAU looked into the re-verification process and gave a report that not a single change was made in the existing results.

Another major mistake committed by students is mentioning the wrong booklet code. This year about 6,000 students mentioned wrong booklet code but the software detected it.

Fee, Indecision On Quota Hit Eamcet 2010 Counselling

The indecisiveness of the state government regarding fixing the fees and management quota seats in professional colleges is having a negative impact on the Eamcet counselling for admissions into engineering and medical courses.
Officials of the higher education department have so far failed to devise Eamcet counselling schedules due to lack of clarity on fees and management quota seats. They say that due to this Eamcet counselling is likely to be delayed by over a month. Officials say that the government will take a decision on the issue only after the by-elections in Telangana region which will conclude by July 30 as any decision on a fee hike might have an adverse impact on the ruling party’s prospects.
The Admissions and Fee Regulatory Committee (AFRC), which fixes the fee structure for professional courses, has also been awaiting the government’s decision on increasing management quota seats for nearly two months. Unless the seat sharing ratio between the government and college managements is finalised, AFRC cannot arrive at a decision on fixing the fees for professional courses.
It has been more than three months since the government initiated the process to finalise fees and management quota seats in professional colleges under pressure from the managements who are demanding a steep hike in fees and also in their quota of seats.
Eamcet ranks are expected by July 16 but officials are not in a position to initiate the counselling process this month in the absence of a decision on fees and management quota seats.
