Sources have stated that the managements of private engineering colleges have come up with a plan to address the perennial problem of seats remaining unfilled every year and they want to open their doors to students from the rest of the country to pursue engineering.
The AP Private Engineering College Managements Association president Santhi Ramudu has said that around 35,000 to 40,000 seats are remaining vacant every year and they have deliberated on the issue extensively and come up with this proposal.
Ramudu has also added that scores of students will get to realize their dreams of engineering study even if they do not get a seat in their state and also, colleges will come out of financial troubles if a majority of their seats are filled.
Mr N. Goutham Rao president of Telangana Private Engineering and Professional Colleges Managements’ Association has told that either colleges should be given the chance to fill vacant seats after completion of counseling, or a special quota mainly management quota preferably should be earmarked for this purpose.
