Students asked to come prepared for counselling

VIJAYAWADA: The online counselling for admissions into engineering courses based on EAMCET ranks went on smoothly with students and parents arriving with hope at Government Polytechnic College here on Friday.

Officials advised rank holders and their parents to come well prepared with all information about their chosen courses and colleges to the counselling hall to avoid delays in the process.

It was noticed that some students came accompanied by their parents and took more time at the computer to make their choice of course and college, which caused inconvenience to others. Some parents went to the extent of making calls on mobile phones to seek advice on the choice.

“As this is an online counselling, delay caused by any student will affect all others in the State. They should come with all necessary information. So, no inconvenience will be caused to anybody,” said R. Subhakara Raju, regional coordinator of EAMCET counselling and also principal of Government Polytechnic College, the venue of counselling.

Smooth counselling

Much effort had to be made to ensure smooth counselling, as it was being held in the city for the first time. There were networking problems initially, which could be solved later. Students were turning up for counselling here from Krishna, West Godavari and East Godavari districts.

Mr. Subhakara Raju said that they were allowing only one parent to enter the counselling hall. Considering the convenience and smooth conduct of the counselling, a student should not take much time to choose a seat. All the information about colleges and courses was made available on the website “ www.eamcet.dte.ac.in”, officials said.

Students are advised to visit the website and prepare a list of choice colleges and courses that he or she would be able to get based on their respective EAMCET ranks. If this preparation was made prior to arrival at counselling centre, they would be able to save a lot of their time and also that of others.
