Cong. wants change in Eamcet counselling dates

July 06, 2016 12:00 am | Updated 05:37 am IST - HYDERABAD:

Leader of Opposition in Telangana State Legislative Council Md. Ali Shabbir on Tuesday asked the State Government to bring changes in schedule of Eamcet counselling in view of Eid-ul-Fitr, to be celebrated on July 7.

In his letter to Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, Shabbir Ali said that the Telangana State Council of Higher Education had erred in scheduling the certificate verification and option exercise for Web-Based Counselling for admissions into engineering colleges for candidates who qualified in EAMCET-2016.

While the schedule for Certificate Verification for those who have not verified earlier has been scheduled for July 5 and 6, the schedule for exercising options is from July 5 to 11.

It includes July 7 (Thursday) which happens to be Eid-ul-Fitr.

Candidates having ranks from 45001 to 90000 will be able to exercise options from July 7 to 8. As you are aware that Eid-ul-Fitr is the biggest festival for all Muslims and therefore, hundreds of parents and students would be put to extreme hardship if exercising options window is kept open on July 7.

They will be forced to either skip exercising option or cancel their Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations, Mr. Shabbir Ali said.

Mr. Shabbir Ali urged the Chief Minister to direct the Department of Technical Education and TSCHE to re-schedule the Exercising Options for successful EAMCET-2016 candidates seeking admissions into engineering colleges.
