Engineering fee issue likely to impact beginning of classes

Engineering admissions this year are set to be delayed by a few days with the fees issue yet to be settled between the colleges seeking hike and the Telangana Admission and Fee Regulation Committee (TAFRC).

The TAFRC has not yet decided on the dates to invite the colleges for further talks after some of them moved the Court seeking changes in the fee structure. In the midst of this controversy, the government has postponed the second phase of admissions by 13 days in the hope that the issue would be settled by that time.

The second phase of counselling, including booking the slot and entering the options for colleges and courses, will now commence on October 11 instead of September 28. The seats will be finalised on October 16 with the students asked to confirm their seats by October 18.
