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.
