BE shops now offer rebate
Only condition is that a student must have 50 per cent in Intermediate examination—not difficult in today's world of liberal marking.
Many of these colleges have not only slashed their annual fees, but are also offering incentives���like a rebate in fees���to 'early birds'. Several of them have employed commission agents to rope in students.
Needless to add, the colleges have also done away with the requirement of prospective students having to pass the tillnow mandatory Engineering and Medical Common Entrance Test (Eamcet).
The only condition is that a student must have 50 per cent in the Intermediate examination��� not difficult in today's world of liberal marking. Most of the colleges craving for students are in the districts and interior areas.
As an example, the Vaagdevi College of Engineering in Karimnagar is offering a seat for Rs 16,500 per annum. Another college in Vikarabad is charging just Rs 10,000 for the computer science and engineering course.
An engineering college near Siddipet is giving a 25-50 per cent rebate on the annual fee. The government allows colleges to collect up to Rs 75,000 per annum from students admitted under the management quota and Rs 22,000 per annum from those admitted under the Eamcet convenor's quota.
"It is a problem of plenty as the supply is more and demand is less. The situation has been created by liberal permissions in the last few years to set up engineering colleges," said K Krishna Rao, secretary of the Indur College of Engineering.
This was in turn fuelled by the growing craze for engineering courses in the last few years. Andhra Pradesh now has about 80,000 seats in over 260 engineering colleges.
Despite three rounds of 'counselling'��� a euphemism for the admission process���about 23,000 seats had no takers. Not a single student joined in four colleges, while another 50 received less than 30 students.
After the official admission process got over, the Eamcet committee transferred back the unfilled seats to the managements, and allowed them to admit students who did not even take the entrance test.
"Some of the colleges are quite bad, I don't know what sort of engineers would be churned out. I think the public has also realised this," an analyst said.
