Hyderabad: Justice A Ramalingeshwara Rao of the High Court at Hyderabad on Tuesday directed the Telangana State government and the JNTU Hyderabad to include various colleges in the list of colleges for admitting the students in the EAMCET- counselling process for the academic year 2015-16.


The judge was dealing with a batch of petitions filed by managements of private engineering colleges challenging the action of the JNTU Hyderabad authorities in conducting inspections and cancelling affiliation. Justice Ramalingeshwara Rao directed the varsity to revise its regulations with help of legal experts, academicians and college managements.


He said that a few norms of the varsity were invalid as they overlapped with those of the All India Council of Technical Education. The judge directed the regional centre of the AICTE to form a team and undertake verification of deficiencies pointed out by the JNTU and pending the decision, the institutions shall be included in the web counselling scheduled from July 8.


The judge made clear that the exercise of the regional centre shall be completed on or before July 20, in order to enable the JNTU to communicate its decision of final affiliation before the start of academic year and to inform the students and the managements of the colleges of their temporary affiliation.


“It is open for the JNTU to undertake verification and take a decision in case the other institutions (apart from petitioner colleges) approach it on the ground wrongly notifying the deficiencies”, the judge said and dismissed the petitions.
