Counselling for minorities

HYDERABAD: The Consortium of A.P. Minority Educational Institutions will conduct online and decentralised counselling for admission into MBA and MCA courses through SW-II-AC for the academic year 2008-09 from July 18 to 23.

The rank holders from Muslim, Christian, Sikh and linguistic minority communities can attend the counselling for admission into 190 minority institutions.

Zafar Javeed, the general secretary of the consortium said that counselling will take place in four centres — Hyderabad, Vijayawada, Vizag and Kadapa — and the venues are Veterinary Officers Association Building, Shantinagar, near Masab Tank, Limra College of Engineering, AQJ College of Engineering and Technology and Madeena College of Engineering respectively.

Fee payment

The 190 institutions have approximately 9,500 seats available while 13,500 Muslim and 3,500 Christian students have qualified in the ICET. He said counters of nationalised banks and A.P. Minorities Finance Corporation will be set up to make fee payments and other services at the venues.

“We have started admissions under SW-II-AC in 2006-07 and we haven’t received a single complaint so far. Students are satisfied and confident to take our admissions,” claimed Mr. Javeed. The State government’s reimbursement is applicable to Muslim students and some colleges are giving fee waiver to 10 per cent students, he added.
