Second shift issue: State files counter
With the second phase of engineering and pharmacy counselling all set to start on Tuesday, the decision over admissions in the second shift of engineering colleges is yet to be sorted out.
After the State government decided not to approve second shift in all the engineering colleges that got permission from the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), the colleges approached the court and got a favourable decision. However, the government filed its counter on Monday citing violation of rules by the AICTE in according permission for second shift.
The government argued that colleges did not take approval from the government as well as affiliation from the university concerned before approaching the AICTE for permission.
AICTE rules
“The AICTE rules are clear that colleges need to get government approval and also university affiliation before seeking permission for the courses,” the APSCHE Chairman, P. Jayaprakash Rao said.
Prof. Rao said they would wait for court directions till October 9 and include the colleges in the second phase depending on the court orders. He, however, expects a stay on the earlier order given in favour of the colleges.
The government is questioning the permission accorded for second shift by the AICTE on several grounds. Officials say the State government has openly come out with its policy that no second shift will be permitted given the large number of seats and also lack of facilities in a majority of colleges.
In fact, it made its displeasure very clear to the AICTE by sending a team of senior officials before the final list was displayed on the AICTE website.
The AICTE, on the other hand, gave permission to 85 existing colleges to offer engineering courses in the second shift.
Meanwhile, the second phase of counselling will be held from October 5 to 9 while students will be allowed to change their options for the final time on October 10. Allotments will be given on October 11 and students have to report before October 14.
