Faulty admissions tracked

The joy of securing seats in top engineering colleges under the management quota may be short-lived for those students who have got the admission in violation of the rules. The state government has tracked such admissions, and has directed the AP State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) not to ratify them. In the absence of APSCHE approval, students will not be enrolled in the affiliating universities and they will not be allowed to appear for exams. Students whose parents have paid lakhs of rupees illegally to secure these seats are staring at a huge loss.

The government will also submit the list of irregular admissions to the AP High Court soon to expose how errant college managements are blatantly violating the rules pertaining to filling of management quota seats. The rules were framed on directions of the High Court and the Supreme Court to ensure merit and transparency in management quota admissions. APSCHE had constituted inspection teams to verify the admissions made under the management quota.

About 100 teams visited various colleges located mostly in and around Hyderabad, where there is heavy demand for management quota seats. The reports submitted by the teams showed that around 50 top colleges had flouted the rules.

The most common violations were not issuing admissions notification in prominent newspapers, not giving sufficient time for students to submit applications, issuing applications in proportionate to the number of seats available, preparing false merit list and selection list so as to give seats to students who can pay the absurd amounts colleges demanded Damodar Raja Narasimha, the deputy Chief Minister, said categorically, “We have received the reports from the committees on some colleges in which irregularities were found. We will not ratify those admissions. The colleges will have to prepare fresh selection lists based on merit to secure approval. If not, such students will not be enrolled in the affiliating universities and will not be allowed to appear for exams.”
