Web counselling for engg. admissions

HYDERABAD: Engineering admissions from this year will be totally web-based and the official decision is likely to come in a few days.

In the new procedure, candidates can opt for a college and a course on the net after entering the details. The software will generate options based on parameters like variety of courses and colleges that include NBA-accredited; reservations based on gender, region, caste and sub-divisions within reservations; double payment seats, sliding, sports and NCC quota among others.

Authorities said helpline centres are to be set up in every district to help the students choose a college or course on the web. There will be no limit on the number of colleges or courses or a combination of colleges and courses to choose from. There would be a last date announced and the students can change their options any number of times till the last date.

The system would automatically allot the seats based on the preferences given. Once the allotment is done, candidates would have to download the allotment letter and then pay the fee in a bank.

Certificate verification

The counselling procedure and dates for certificate verification will be announced after the EAMCET ranks are declared. Before the student can participate in the online counselling, he has to necessarily get his certificates verified at the helpline centres. Candidates who fail to report for certificate verification will not be considered for the allotment of a seat.

Every candidate has to produce certificates like the hall-ticket, rank card and all original certificates necessary for admissions.

After verification, all the original certificates will be retained and a receipt issued. Students would be informed of the procedure to be followed to exercise options, details of banks and tuition fee after the certificate verification at the helpline centres.
