APPSC stalls job process
Hyderabad, June 29: More than 1,000 posts sanctioned by the state government in various departments during the last two years have not been filled up as the recruitment process is moving at a slow pace. The blame game between the Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC) and state officials has become a curse for thousands of unemployed graduates.
While the APPSC blames the departments for not providing details on the number of vacancies, the departments argue that lack of clarity on the issue was causing the delay. The negligence of officials can be seen from the fact that in some cases the APPSC is unaware of the exam pattern and the syllabus for recruitment, while in others it has no clue of the ‘eligibility norms’ for issuing notifications.
“There is little we can do on this issue. The delay is not due to APPSC but because of the delay in getting information from departments on the vacancies, the pattern of exam and syllabus,” said Mr Y Venkat Rami Reddy, chairman, APPSC. “All these factors are leading to the delay in issuing notifications,” he added. He said though in some cases notifications were issued and written examination and interviews conducted, the APPSC was unable to release the final list as there was no clarity on local and non-local posts as required under the Telengana rules.

High demand for computers with pure sciences
Hotel management, catering are popular courses in districts
Many colleges apply to start courses in the humanities
Hyderabad, June 29: The combination of computer science and pure science courses is selling like hot cakes and this can be seen in the fact that nearly half of the total degree colleges in the State either want to start a section with these subjects or have an additional section to the existing one.
Colleges want to offer the computer science course in both the science stream as well as the commerce stream though the craze differs from one University to another. If the craze for Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA) course is seen more in the Acharya Nagarjuna University and Sri Venkateshwara University areas, colleges under the Osmania University prefer the course under the B.Com (Computer Sciences) stream. The OU-area colleges have also evinced keen interest in the combination with emerging areas like Micro Biology, Biochemistry and Biotechnology. About 112 applications have been received in this area.
Demand in districts
“Nearly 50 colleges under the SVU and ANU jurisdiction want to start the BCA course and these include colleges that have earlier discontinued the course due to lack of student support,” an official in the A.P. State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) said. Out of the 1,175 degree colleges in the state, around 480 have applied for new courses this year and most of them have offered to start computer and pure science related courses. There is also a lot of demand for Hotel Management and Catering courses, particularly in the districts. About 90 per cent of the requests from the existing colleges are likely to be accepted what with the respective universities having completed their inspections.
Job opportunities
Unlike the popular belief that humanities courses are disappearing from degree colleges, several colleges have applied to start courses in Modern Languages, Psychology, Economics and Public Administration. Officials attribute this phenomenon to the growth in the literacy rate and the increasing job opportunities for students of humanities in the new economy.

Students angry at fee hikes
Warangal, June 29: The students are agitating across the district against the fee hike in engineering, MBA and MCA courses. They are criticising the government for neglecting the improvement of amenities at colleges and going for the hike in fee structure for admissions into professional courses. The government had increased the convenor quota entry fee from 27,500 to Rs 30,200 for the engineering courses, while the MBA and MCA course fee was hiked from Rs 66,600 to Rs 73,100.
The student organisations have demanded that the government roll back the decision. "Many corporate colleges lack basic amenities and they continue to collect huge amounts of money. Till now no such college was penalised and no college’s recognition was cancelled. The government is showing utter indifference in this regard," alleges Syed Wali Ullah Khadri, All India Students Federation district president.
Mr Khadri said that his organisation was agitating against the government’s decision to hike the fee in professional colleges. Similarly, the so-called corporate colleges in the city were collecting heavy donations from the parents for admissions into their schools. A school at Naimnagar is charging Rs 8,000 per each admission as donation, while another at Nakkalagutta is charging Rs 7,000 from each student.

Colleges break rule, fill owners’ quota
Hyderabad, June 29: Minority professional colleges have already completed the process of admissions under the management quota even before the state government has formally launched the admission process. While admissions for professional courses for 2008-2009 is scheduled to begin in the next fortnight, the minority colleges have already filled up the seats.
According to rules framed by the state government, minority colleges should make the application forms available with the district minority welfare officers, the district collectors and in the college office. When asked if minority colleges’ officials said they have run short of application forms. Minority students seeking admissions in professional courses like medicine, engineering, pharmacy, MCA and MBA are the worst hit. “The state government had issued a GO streamlining the admission process in minority colleges. This has remained on paper only.
Except for few colleges, most of these minority institutions are refusing to issue application forms,” said Mr Nishat Hussain, an executive council member of Padmavathi Mahila University. Some of the colleges have filled the management seats at exorbitant fee running into lakhs of Rupees for courses like pharmacy. For medicine it has even touched exorbitant Rs 50 lakh.
“Unless the government intervenes and implements the high court’s directive on admissions in minority colleges, students will suffer this academic year, too. The court has clearly stated that the admissions should be based purely on merit and there should be no irregularities,” said Mr Muhammad Ansari, the president of Minority Educational Rights Protection Committee.

Meet throws light on foreign courses
VIJAYAWADA June 29: Euphoria and joy was writ on the faces of young ones, as experts, at an exposure meet organised by Saraswathi Abroad, reeled out success stories of how some people made it to the top by taking advantage of their higher education abroad and their exposure to international experiences.
Saraswathi Abroad, a consultancy, provided the platform to familiarise parents and students with affordable courses in MBBS, B.Tech, B.Pharmacy, MBA and MCA offered by world-class universities across the globe. The idea behind organising the exposure meet was to enable students to explore possibilities for their best future careers.
There were high expectations among students, whose spirit to do well soared to new heights. With strong and encouraging support from parents, the students wanted to explore every opportunity that would knock at their doors. The experts said that MBBS course was available in the range of just Rs. 6 lakhs to Rs. 10 lakhs at universities in China, Philippines and such other countries. Even in Central America, the courses were being offered at relatively low tuition fee, which would be advantageous to Indian students. P.S. Rao of Saraswathi Abroad consultancy told parents that they should apply their minds carefully before selecting a course of study and foreign country for their children’s higher education.
Pilot training
He pointed out that pilot training course was being offered at several universities in Australia and Philippines, which was a fertile field for Indian students to try their luck and exploit global opportunities. Several parents asked whether MBBS done in foreign countries would get global opportunities for their children.
They were told that foreign education in MBBS would carry equal weight and the students would have to do separate courses in different countries in order to derive maximum benefits. He said that there were several higher educational opportunities being offered at affordable fee at several institutions in Nepal.

State okays PG medical seats
Hyderabad, June 28: The state government on Saturday ratified the seats filled up under the competent authority quota by the private medical and dental colleges in the last two academic years. These seats were filled up after the final round of counselling by the college authorities without the involvement of the NTR University of Health Sciences based on the earlier order issued by the state government.
The move of ratifying the admissions came as a reprieve for students of MS, MD and MDS courses for the academic years 2006-07 and 2007-08. The principal secretary (health and medical education), Mr P.K. Agarwal said, "Students may not join within the stipulated date announced by the NTR University of Health Sciences. Managements would fill up those seats if admissions are not done on time. Seats filled up without prior permission are ratified."
The ratification order was issued by the AP Private Medical and Dental Colleges Managements Association. The decision was taken in the interest of the students admitted in these colleges as otherwise their career will be at stake. The state government is also trying to get the approval from the Medical Council of India for the cancelled seats. "We already got the permission for 93 seats and we are trying for another 43," said Mr Agarwal.

MBA & MCA Courses Counselling starts from July 9 2008
Hyderabad, June 28: Admissions for professional courses in the state will start with MBA and MCA courses from July 9. Altogether 1,93,215 candidates cleared the Icet entrance examination this year. Currently, there are 496 MCA and 360 MBA colleges in the state with 33,910 and 25,818 seats respectively. The state government is, however, still undecided on the admission schedule for engineering and pharmacy courses. It was initially planned to begin in the first week of July.
According to officials of higher education department, Eamcet engineering counselling is likely to begin on July 21. Around 2,51,737 candidates have qualified for engineering and pharmacy admissions in Eamcet-2008. Currently, there are 338 engineering colleges in the state and 224 pharmacy colleges with an intake of 13,300 seats.
Lack of clarity on the issue of permitting new engineering, MBA and MCA colleges by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) is forcing officials to postpone counselling. AICTE is in the process of inspecting new colleges. Around 50 new engineering colleges and another 60 MBA and MCA colleges are expected this year. “If the new colleges get approval by June 30, we will include them in the admissions list. All colleges, which secure approvals after the due date will be considered for second phase. Our target is to start classes in the first week of August,” said an official of higher education department

B.Ed colleges face HC flak
Hyderabad, June 28: It is a tough time for the private BEd colleges and particularly minority colleges. The management of these colleges are struggling to renew their recognition from the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE). The AP High Court pointed out that most of the colleges are in the habit of violating the statutory admission rules framed under the Act.
The court was taken aback by the fact that the management has moved it at the eleventh hour when the admitted candidates have not been allowed to write examinations. The court is surprised that in spite of such violations how the recognition of such colleges have been renewed year after year in the past. A division bench comprising the Chief Justice A.R. Dave and Justice R. Subhash Reddy made these observation while allowing a batch of writ petitions filed by the private BEd college challenging the action of School Education department.
The authorities have not allowed students who were admitted under the 20 per cent management quota. The students who were admitted violating the ceiling fixed for the subject of social studies also face the same fate. The court observed, “We also direct that a copy of this order shall be sent to the NCTE, Southern Region, Bangalore, which will keep in mind the said proceedings. and the violations at the time of renewal of recognition”.

ANU moves to promote research
GUNTUR: Acharya Nagarjuna University Vice-Chancellor Y.R. Haragopala Reddy at his first meeting with Head of Departments on the campus on Saturday asked them to formulate guidelines to engage at least three research scholars in each department with fellowships to provide impetus to real research work on the campus.
The meeting mainly dealt on improving the quality of education which could be improved by asking teachers to organise class meetings, holding seminars regularly and organising workshops useful to the curriculum of the department.
Relevance of workshops and seminar was key to improving research methedology and less time should be spent on inaugurals and valedictory functions leaving larger chunk to the main speakers on the subject.
Head of the Departments were asked to prepare a daily activity report of teachers and students so that the progress of academics could be monitored, University college principal Nirmala Mary said after the meeting.
The departments were asked to get their proposals ready with three quotations for the grants under the 11th Finance Commission funds of University Grants Commission. The university had sent a proposal for Rs.50 crore and after the committee’s visit on or before August 10, the quantum would be decided.
National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), an autonomous institution established by the UGC would send its committee for the review of the university status in the second week of July, the Vice-Chancellor said at the meeting and wanted all concerned to be prepared.
The university also proposes to approach the Superintendent of Police Mahesh Chandra Laddha to draw strategy on curbing ragging and eve-teasing on the campus. It would also seek the help of any IAS officer in the matter to improve the atmosphere.
Meanwhile, former Vice-Chancellor V. Balamohandas has been nominated to the Gandhian Studies Advisory Board, which would meet on June 30. University Statistics Department would move into its new building by the side of Law Department.

State schools to turn into tuition centres after school hours
HYDERABAD: The Hyderabad district administration has come up with a novel concept for government schools to use infrastructure which is left unused after school hours. Starting next month, authorities in collaboration with Satyam Foundation will run academic activities in select government schools in the city after school hours.
While addressing a gathering of members from several NGOs at the launch of ‘Mobile Science Lab’ here on Saturday, District Collector Naveeen Mittal informed that school buildings can be converted into tuition centres. Authorities have entered into a one-year deal with Satyam Foundation to this effect.
“School buildings lie vacant with no security between 4.30 p.m. and 7.30 a.m. encouraging unsocial elements to occupy. We want to use this infrastructure for good purpose like tuitions for children. It will help schools to have their own funds,” Mr. Mittal said.
New initiatives
Eliciting other new initiatives of district administration, Mr. Mittal informed that by next month, open online bidding would be held to allow organisations and NGOs to bid for naming government schools after them.
“Online bidding will provide fair chance for all to bid for schools of their choice. It also ushers in transparency,” he said.
The Mobile Science Lab, operated in a van, has modified racks to hold laboratory equipment.
Mobile lab
The lab will have two teachers and will visit ten schools in a month. The material in the mobile science lab will be taken out and would be set up in a vacant classroom for practicals.
“The lab is for students of classes 6 and 10. The first year operational costs will be Rs.10 lakh and subsequently it will come down. Several organisations have guaranteed to support the mobile labs for three years,” said Chairman of Hyderabad Round Table 8 (HRT8) Sunil Chandra Reddy. HRT 8 in association with M.V. Foundation has launched the mobile science lab project.

Fee hiked for all professional courses
Hyderabad, June 27: The rising inflation has resulted in considerable hike in the fee of all the professional courses offered in the State and students will have to pay an additional fee ranging from Rs. 2,700 to Rs. 8,200 depending on the category of seats. Engineering and pharmacy aspirants seeking seat under the Convenor quota have to pay Rs. 2,700 additionally with the fee decided at Rs. 30,200. Under the management quota candidates need to pay Rs. 91,700 due to the increase in fee by Rs. 8,200. For MBA and MCA, the fee for the Convenor quota is Rs. 26,700, an increase of Rs. 2,400 while in the management quota the hike is Rs. 6,500 with the fee being Rs. 73,100.
“The hike has been calculated based on the average inflation rate of last eight weeks, which has come to 9.82 percent,” M.D. Christopher, Secretary of A.P. State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) told the reporters here on Friday after the meeting of Admission and Fee Regulation Committee (AFRC). He said the fee charged for NBA accredited courses has also been increased from Rs. 2,000 to Rs. 3,000 from this academic year. The hike would be applicable to all the minority and non-minority unaided colleges.
He, however, said that the decision on the hike for seats in the Government colleges would be taken later and not on the inflation rate.
The total burden put on the students with the hike is expected to be around Rs. 75 crore per year based on the existing seats and it is likely to be increased with new colleges coming up this year. As per last year records, there are 1,16,819 seats in 325 private engineering colleges, 13,357 seats in 225 private Pharmacy colleges, 25,818 seats in 360 private MBA colleges and 33,910 seats in 496 private MCA colleges.

Vijayawada, June 27: The Department of English and the Loyola ELT Resource and Research Centre will conduct a two-day UGC-sponsored national seminar on ‘Reflective practice in the English classroom’ at Andhra Loyola College on August 11 and 12 to explore a dynamic means of self-driven professional growth and student-centric orientation of English teachers.

Conversion of polytechnic, ITI campus into IT park urged
Vijayawada, June 27: Andhra Chamber of Commerce and Industry president M. Rajaiah has urged Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy to convert the Government Polytechnic and Industrial Technical Institute (ITI) campus into an Information Technology (IT) Park in phases.
In a letter to the Chief Minister on Thursday, a copy of which was released to the media on Friday, Mr. Rajaiah wanted the IT Park to be developed as a special economic zone by shifting the Government Polytechnic and ITI in phases. He reminded the Chief Minister of the promise the latter made to develop Vijayawada on the lines of Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam into an IT hub.
Mr. Rajaiah noted that the several IT projects that were in the pipeline, like the proposed IT Park to be developed by the L&T at Kesarapalli opposite Gannavaram airport, an IT SEZ at Mangalagiri on a 40-acre land proposed by the Vijayawada Guntur Tenali Mangalagiri Urban Development Authority (VGTM-UDA) and another SEZ by a private company between Vijayawada and Guntur, were taking too long to materialise. The Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) too proposed to construct an ‘incubation centre’ with an area of 1 lakh sq. ft. in the city, but there was no movement in this regard so far.
Location importance
Against this backdrop, he said, it was necessary to convert the Government Polytechnic and ITI campus spreading over 35 acres in the heart of the city into an IT Park.
When these two institutions were set up at the present location long ago, the areas were far away from the main city and were found to be ideal for education.
However, the location now had become the heart of the city and acquired much commercial importance.
Mr. Rajaiah said that two acres of land had already been given to the STPI, and the remaining 33 acres could be developed into an IT SEZ with 4 million sq. ft. of area.
As many as 21 towers (each consisting of 10 to 12 floors), with 20 for IT and ITES activities and one as a corporate business tower, could be constructed.
He felt that the land required for shifting the ITI and the Government Polytechnic could be easily found in the nearby villages.

A sorry tale of students
Hyderabad, June 27: Government schools of the state continue to be in a pathetic condition notwithstanding the promises made by the successive state governments to improve them. From dilapidated buildings to lack of toilets, water and electricity and shortage of teachers, the schools face myriad problems. More than 1.10 crore students of the state attend classes braving these difficulties.Many schools don’t even have benches and desks, and students don’t get textbooks on time. In fact, there seems to be no end to the difficulties they face. The problem is acute in high schools where adolescent girls face severe inconvenience because of lack of toilets. The School Education Joint Director, Mr Sudhakar, said "We are not sitting idle."
"But things cannot be changed overnight in government schools. The government is releasing funds for providing facilities in government schools in a phased manner." he added There is no safe drinking water facility in about 10,000 schools and another 9,000 schools do not have sufficient classrooms. More than 500 schools have been denied electricity because of pending bills and 200 schools do not have electricity connections. Hundreds of primary and upper primary schools function without benches and desks. Though the government has done nothing to improve the facilities, it is instead leasing out school buildings to private and corporate agencies to make revenue.
It expects to raise nearly Rs 1 crore per month by renting out 300-odd government school buildings located in heart of the city. There are over 800 government schools in the city. Of these, 300 are functioning at government buildings and the remaining are housed at private premises. There have been complaints that after school hours, the premises are misused by locals and anti-socials. Some schools are also being used as garbage dumps by the locals.
Those who take school buildings on rent have to vacate the rooms an hour or two before the school starts the next day. The proposal to rent the premises was made in this context. "The tender process is on and we will use the money raised from the project for the development of the school," said the District Collector, Mr Navin Mittal. Students of government schools do not get enough opportunity for extra-curricular activities as there are no teachers for subjects like drawing, craft and music. The government has not recruited teachers for these posts for nearly 12 years and over 2,000 posts are lying vacant.
To make things worse, the state government is in no mood to fill up these vacancies though more teachers are slated to retire in this new academic year. Teachers’ unions have strongly objected to the government attitude towards co- curricular activities. "These activities are necessary for proper growth of children," said the United Teachers Federation leader, Mr Narayana.
"The government cannot shirk its responsibility of encouraging and honing the creative skills of young minds." "The government is trying to make these posts redundant and gradually remove drawing, craft and music from government schools syllabus," alleged a leader of the Progressive Recognised Teachers Union. "But we will not allow this to happen. We will fight against it" he added.

Centre clears national architecture school
HYDERABAD June 26: The School of Planning and Architecture (SPA), a national-level institute being set up by the Central Government at Vijayawada, will soon come up as the proposal was cleared by the Union Cabinet on Thursday. It is one of the two schools being set up in the country. The other school will come up in Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh. Approval for creation of four core posts of Director and Registrar for each institute with immediate effect was also given.
The institute at Vijayawada will integrate graduate, post-graduate, doctoral and post-doctoral education in architecture and town planning while at the same time foster research of a high order in these areas. Research in such areas is likely to generate significant intellectual properties, which has the potential for generating sizeable revenues.
This institute comes at a time when the State Government is planning to separate architecture and planning stream from the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU) and create a separate university for architecture and planning. However, the SAP at Vijayawada will function independently.
The new institutes are likely to create a cadre of high calibre faculty members who will be devoted to teaching, research and consultancy in all disciplines that deal with planning and architecture. Also, SPAs will be socially responsible institutions providing research feedback to the Government for physical development of human settlements.
The institutes will also contribute to highly competent and trained manpower that would inevitably impact positively on the economic growth of the country.
The total cost for setting up of the two schools of planning and architecture will be Rs.348.50 crore (recurring expenditure Rs.82.90 crore and non-recurring expenditure – Rs.265.60 crore).

Enrolment for CBSE pattern good in rural areas
Enrolment will continue till mid-July
CBSE books will be sent to schools by July 10
HYDERABAD June 26: Notwithstanding the misgivings in some quarters about the Government’s decision to introduce a parallel stream of CBSE in English medium from Class VI in selected Government institutions, officials claim enrolment has been increasing.
With no private English medium schools in the rural areas, the introduction of CBSE English medium under “SUCCESS” programme apparently filled the void.
In urban centres, private English medium schools already exist in good numbers and are believed to offer better quality, opined C.B.S.Venkataramana, Principal Secretary, School Education.
The enrolment into CBSE English medium in 6,500 upper primary schools in the State that were merged with the high schools in their vicinity began when they reopened on June 12.
While the optimum strength in these schools is projected at around 2.6 lakhs at the rate of 40 students per CBSE section, the numbers enrolled in a matter of two weeks are encouraging, officials told The Hindu.
According to the latest figures furnished by the District Education Officers, their number of students opting for the stream stands at 1.05 lakh.
The enrolment will continue normally till mid-July though 90 per cent of admissions are completed by June-end.
Optional
“The numbers are encouraging though CBSE English medium stream is offered only as an option,” said School Education Director Bhanumurthy.
Though about 50,000 school assistants, graduates with B.Ed training under the department are accustomed to teaching in English, training in Spoken English would be a continuous process with two days in a month and longer duration in ‘Dasara’ and Sankranti vacation and one month during summer to bolster their confidence levels.
Training
Simultaneously, 50 to 60 teachers from each district with special English as qualification would be sent for three month resource persons training in August to Regional Training Institute in Bangalore and British Council in the Regional Headquarters.
Meanwhile, the printing of textbooks for CBSE stream would start from July 1 and they would be despatched to schools by July 10, Mr.Venkataramana said.

Urdu schools not to be merged
HYDERABAD June 26: A few government Urdu medium schools in the old city have earned an unexpected reprieve. They will continue to function at the existing place and not be merged with other schools. Hyderabad Collector Navin Mittal has decided to withdraw the academic clubbing in respect of some schools after seeing the ground realities on Thursday.
Students of Government Primary School, Marwadi lane, need not take the trouble of crossing the busy Langar Houz crossroad where a flyover is under construction to reach the SMHM government primary school. The school will function at the existing place. Teachers were the happiest lot on learning this as the merger decision had put fresh admissions on hold.
Similarly, students of Government Primary School, Filter Bed, don’t have to take a long walk to reach the Government Boys Primary School, First Lancer, where their school is merged. Mr. Mittal agreed to stop academic clubbing of both schools and offered to construct a building to accommodate English, Urdu and Telugu medium sections. Mr. Mittal took these decisions after visiting some of the schools in Asifnagar and Karwan Assembly constituencies on Thursday along with Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi and MLAs Moazam Khan and Afsar Khan.
Mr. Owaisi convinced the Collector not to merge the Government Primary School, Qhazi Galli, and Government Primary School Dhanalakshmipura into the Government Upper Primary School Mufeed-un-Niswan. These primary schools could be shifted to areas which have no schools. Mr. Mittal agreed to shift the Dhanlakshmipura school to a private building at Faran Cottage and the other school to a community hall.
It was also decided to stop the merger of Government Primary School, Kumarwadi and Government Primary School, Salehnagar. The latter will be shifted to Kancha locality which has no schools.
The Government Girls High School at Ahmednagar was in a pathetic condition. The run-down school has neither electricity, drinking water nor toilets. Mr. Mittal promised to take up construction of classrooms and provide basic amenities at the earliest.

IMA says no to pharma graduates
Hyderabad, June 25: The city unit of the Indian Medical Association has asked the State government to relax rules for registration of private nursing homes and clinics.IMA is opposing several conditions including the one that insists on the appointment of a pharma graduate to monitor medication in the hospitals. "We have asked the Chief Minister and Health Minister to relax some rules as it would be very difficult for clinics to comply with them," said the IMA city unit secretary, Dr P. Pulla Rao. "Appointing a pharma graduate and a nurse with a graduation degree will be a big burden."
He pointed out that it would be unfair to send off experienced nurses working with the doctors for the past two to three decade in order to recruit graduates. Dr Rao added that small clinics in urban and rural areas will not be able to follow the rule that insists on an MBBS doctor working in the hospital round the clock. "We have got positive response from the government so far," he said.
As per rules of the AP Private Medical Care Establishments Act, the structure of the hospital building has also to be altered as per the specified standards. This can be done in phases and it is not possible to alter the structure in one go," said Mr Rao. The Hyderabad District Medical and Health Officer, Ms Ch Jaya Kumari, said that 600 nursing homes and clinics had registered as per the new rules. "We have extended the date till this month end," she said. "There are around 3,000 small clinics which have to be registered yet."

What G.O. 61 says…

These seats are not covered under the counselling taken up for the ‘A’ category seats that are popularly known as the convenor quota seats.
Despite the private colleges moving the courts opposing the G.O., the order was upheld. Now, they plan to go for an appeal on the decision. Meanwhile, APSCHE Chairman K.C. Reddy said that notification would be issued once the court judgement copy is released to the institutions. Though the colleges want to go for an appeal, he was confident that the G.O. would be upheld by any court.
Admission schedule
The G.O. states that admission schedule issued by the Chairman, APSCHE has to be strictly adhered to by the college managements.

Osmania University gets more foreign faces
Hyderabad, June 24: More than 1,000 students from 57 countries have taken admission in Osmania University this year. Last year it was 812 students from 47 countries. Most of these students are from West Asian and African countries. Students say cultural proximity of the city to that of their own draws them here.
Besides, heavily subsidised higher education and comparatively low cost of living is making the city the most sought-after destination for their higher studies. This year, more than 100 Afghan students took admission in the university.
OU offers special preparatory courses for eight months to foreign students to improve their communication skills before they enroll for graduation. "Graduating from OU is at least 30 per cent cheaper than any other Indian university. Besides, Hyderabad’s pluralistic character impresses the foreigners which is why they flock here," says Mr T.L.N. Swamy, the director OU foreign relations department.
Courses like B.Com and BCA are very popular among these foreign students. The University also offers guest house facilities to foreign students for the first two weeks. Students of Indian origin also throng to the university. They say the climate of Hyderabad is very conducive for their stay.
"We checked out other Indian cities and found the the cost of living is cheaper in Hyderabad. Besides, people of the city speak many languages and are cooperative. The university is also offering English proficiency course. So we chose OU," says Nazeebullah Samimi, an Afghan student . The number of Chinese students enrolling for the English language proficiency courses in OU is also increasing. This year more than 25 Chinese took admission.

G.O. 61: professional colleges plan to go in appeal
Hyderabad June 24: While the private engineering colleges, stunned by the High Court upholding G.O. 61, are planning to go in appeal, the A.P. State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) wants to go ahead with the implementation of the G.O. that aims at bringing in transparency in the admission of management quota seats.
Officials are of the view that colleges cannot directly approach the Supreme Court unless the High Court quashes their appeal. Given the circumstances and the strong ground they are on the colleges’ claim would be dismissed again even if colleges go for an appeal. “As of now the G.O. 61 stands and we will act as per the G.O.,” the APSCHE Secretary, M.D. Christopher told The Hindu.
He said the vacancy position in each college would be sought and they would be asked to fill them as per the G.O.
The G.O. issued in May this year makes it mandatory for professional colleges to keep the information pertaining to the seats available in each discipline, details of application fees, addresses of the candidates obtaining applications and the merit list of candidates in their notice boards and websites.
Moreover, colleges should provide blank application forms to all the candidates apart from providing download facility in their websites.
College managements, however, want to use all the legal options.
Representatives of private unaided college managements said that it was unfair on the part of the Government to interfere in the management quota admissions. Some of them agree that they collect more than the prescribed fee and it was necessary to sustain the college.
The mood is more prevalent in the top colleges, which argue that the Government prescribed fee of Rs. 28,000 for 80 per cent of seats is peanuts. “We cannot maintain quality with that fee.”
Meanwhile, parents who have already “booked” seats paying huge fee in several top colleges are in a dilemma whether their seats were “protected”.
Many parents have booked seats for their wards agreeing to pay fee ranging from Rs. 4 lakh to Rs. 14 lakh depending on the course and the college. After the G.O. was issued colleges have been avoiding taking full payment citing the G.O. and its final outcome in the court.
