He said admission to engineering courses would also be held soon and followed by admission to MBA and MCA colleges. He maintained that norms given in G.O. Nos 54, 59 and 61 were being followed.

Two centres

He said that there were 6,500 seats in minority engineering colleges in this group, while 37 institutions had agreed to join the group for MBA and MCA admissions and the group had 4,800 seats for these courses. He said the federation was considering opening two counselling centres - one each in Andhra and Rayalaseema areas - for the benefit of minority candidates there during the engineering admissions.

Regarding the unfilled seats, he said they would be transferred back to the respective colleges and they would advertise and fill them according to the permitted norms. Mohd. Jaffer, treasurer, and Md. Ghouse Moinuddin, member, were present.
