Starting this year, students will need a minimum of 50 per cent marks in their intermediate examination to get admission in engineering colleges. S S Mantha, chairman, All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), on Saturday communicated this to officials of Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU). The chairman was in the university to attend a workshop with engineering college managements.
Mantha communicated to the university authorities that a 50 per cent score in group subjects (mathematics, physics and chemistry for engineering) will be made mandatory from Eamcet 2011. Students belonging to SC/ST communities need to score 45 per cent marks in group subjects to take admission in engineering colleges.
The state government so far kept a minimum score of 35 per cent in intermediate for admissions in engineering colleges. Around 40,000 students who got just 35 per cent marks in the qualifying examination had taken admission in engineering colleges in the previous academic year.
According to Mantha, AICTE will not allow the state to continue with 35 per cent rule as the “quality of technical education would come down further’’. The state government had written to AICTE earlier this month asking for an exemption for the state’s students from the 50 per cent rule. Meanwhile, addressing the workshop, the AICTE chairman said that new engineering colleges that will be allowed to take admissions for the coming academic year will be sanctioned by May 31, unlike in the previous years when AICTE approvals were given even till August.
