Hyderabad: Dashing the hopes of private engineering college managements and the students, the Supreme Court on Thursday refused to grant extension to conduct second phase engineering counselling in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh states.
This has come as a huge setback to Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) as 65,000 Engineering seats would remain vacant. APSCHE had moved the Supreme Court seeking permission for conducting second phase counselling in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh as these seats were left vacant in both the states after the first counselling. The council was of the view that by conducting second counselling, many students who couldn’t get admission in good colleges may use slide options for a better college.
But the apex court in its verdict has said that the APSCHE cannot keep asking for extensions again and again. “What’s the guarantee that you won’t ask for one more extension if permission was given now,” the court said. The Supreme Court questioned the APSCHE as to why counselling was not completed according to the schedule.
Reacting to the judgment, Telangana Private Engineering and Professional College Managements Association President Goutham Rao said that they would react only after going through the court order.
A senior official of Telangana State Council of Higher Education when contacted said the APSCHE had to take responsibility for the fiasco. “When a petition was filed by the Telangana government seeking extension, the APSCHE filed an implead petition for conducting counselling immediately. Students in both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh are now at a loss due to callous attitude of the APSCHE officials,” he added.
Meanwhile, the AP Minister for Education Ganta Srinivasa Rao said that the Government would seek legal opinion and will decide on filing a review petition.
