Parents who have already “bought” engineering seats for their children under the management quota may be in trouble if the government is sincere in its avowal to make private colleges follow the online admission process. Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy is said to have been impressed with the proposed transparent admission procedure for the 30 per cent management quota and has given the go-ahead for orders to be issued in this regard.

The Chief Minister told mediapersons on Thursday that not a single seat under the management quota was filled till now. It is only after the government gives the notification that the filling of seats will start, that too only online, he added. The higher education department will issue a government order in a couple of days making it mandatory for private colleges to accept applications for the management quota only through a portal designed and maintained by the AP State Council of Higher Education.

All colleges will have to display branch-wise availability of seats. A common period will be fixed for applying to management quota and once the deadline is over, the colleges should prepare a list based on merit and submit the same to APSCHE. Colleges must also prepare a list of rejected candidates. “The rules prescribe merit order according to which five per cent seats in management quota shall be filled with NRIs first. For the remaining seats, rank in AIEEE is the first priority, followed by rank in Eamcet, and the last priority is for Intermediate marks,” a senior official who came out with the initiative told this newspaper.

The APSCHE, which will have with it the data of rankers of AIEEE and Eamcet besides Inter-mediate, will cross check the list submitted by the managements. “Any discrepancy can be immediately detected and the list will be rejected,” the official said. The government also wants to use this technology to weed out bogus claimants for fee reimbursement. The social welfare department has prepared the data of eligible students who can claim scholarship. The income certificates of students who did not make it to the social welfare department data will be verified manually to ascertain whether the parents’ annual income is below `1 lakh and the tahsildar concerned will be suspended if he is found issuing a fake certificate.
