Students seek clarity on management quota seats

The state government's silence on implementation of the recent AP High Court orders, on conducting online admissions for management quota seats in engineering colleges, has led to confusion among students and parents.

Many colleges had already issued notifications and received applications from students as per the old method. Students now do not know if those applications are still valid in the wake of the new HC directions.

AP State Council of Higher Education officials too have failed to give any clarity on conducting online admissions so far.

The HC had directed the government to conduct online admissions for management quota as per the GOs 66 and 67. Under this, the APSCHE will set up a Web portal wherein the details pertaining to the availability of management quota seats in all the colleges will be uploaded and the students will have the provision to submit applications online.

The managements will then scrutinise all these applications and prepare a merit list, based on which seats will be allotted. The APSCHE will have the provision to crosscheck the merit list and the seat allotment details online to ensure transparency. However, the APSCHE is yet to devise the portal and issue a notification inviting applications from students.
