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
