HYDERABAD: The Andhra Pradesh Government has warned private engineering colleges in the State of stringent action if they collect capitation fee in any form for admissions. The punishment will be straightaway cancelling the affiliation to the All India Council for Technical Education as well as the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University. Announcing this at a prèss conference here on Saturday, Technical Education Minister R. Chenga Reddy cited a notification issued by AICTE on May 9, an "all-encompassing order" against the collection of capitation fee, which prescribed such severe punishment. Mr. Reddy said students/parents could approach him if any college demanded and accepted any donation (capitation fee) usually collected as building fee or lab fee. Complaints could be lodged with him if any collection was made beyond Rs. 26,000 in case of "free seat" and Rs. 79,000 for "payment (management quota) seat". However, the only other amount that both Government/private colleges could collect was accreditation fee prescribed at Rs. 2,000 for all seats. The Minister clarified that the counselling to fill all 98,793 seats in 282 engineering colleges would commence in the second week of July, based on EAMCET ranks and not June as mentioned on Friday. Seats in the new colleges which might come up during the process of counselling following AICTE approval would be filled only after the counselling. He said the pending applications to set up 36 pharmacy and three polytechnic colleges would be cleared shortly.
