Hyderabad: Students seeking admissions into degree colleges through Degree Online Service of Telangana (DOST) are facing problems in completing the admission forms because of mandatory biometric registrations imposed by the government.
The biometric registrations are time consuming and hence the students are forced to spend extra time at authorised centres for the completion of biometric registrations.
According to the new rules, students getting admissions through DOST should successfully complete their intermediate and then register their fingerprints at the Mee Seva centres through a biometric system by submitting their intermediate pass certificate and Aadhaar number.
They would then get a token number which would give them access to the website for online application process. However, registering fingerprints through the biometric system in the Mee Seva Centres is consuming lot of time, the students said. As the Mee Seva centres are falling short for lakhs of students they are facing troubles in completing the process without wasting time.
There are about 3 lakh seats in the government and private degree colleges in the first year and about 3.5 lakh students are there in the State seeking admissions into degree colleges. According to the schedule, the online admission process through the DOST will be available only till June 5. The admission process was started May 18.

The Mee Seva centres are the only authorised centres for biometric registrations and the students are flocking in thousands to get complete the process.
