Visakhapatnam: Human Resources Development Minister Ganta Srinivasa Rao launched the first Eamcet counseling process after the State bifurcation here at the local Government Polytechnic on Friday. However, parents and candidates faced a tough time following sudden and heavy downpour for over an hour with the lack of infrastructure facilities.
Speaking on the occasion, the Minister said the State government was committed to provide quality engineering education in the State for which it was taking all necessary steps and as part of it, 6,000 engineering seats were cancelled and five engineering colleges which lacked infrastructure and proper faculty were asked to shut down this academic year.

As the AP government is also intend to turn the State as a knowledge hub by bringing important reforms in the present education system, expert committees were formed to give suggestions.
Further, the government is conducting all Common Entrance Tests and announcement of results on time as per schedule to help complete the admission process quickly. The Eamcet counselling, the Minister said, was being conducted in August every year in the unified Andhra Pradesh but now it was going on in June itself aiming at to contain the migration of meritorious students to other States.
Shifting of counselling centre Srinivasa Rao, who personally noticed that there was no proper infrastructure at the Government Polytechnic when it suddenly began raining, took a spot decision to shift the counselling centre to Andhra University Platinum Jubilee auditorium where the counselling will be held from Saturday.
Meanwhile, the Andhra University authorities were busy making arrangements for the Eamcet counselling at the Platinum Jubilee auditorium. Among others, AU Vice-Chancellor Prof G S N Raju, Registrar Prof V Umamaheswara Rao and MLA P Vishnukumar Raju attended.
