Rain could not dampen the spirits of the students and parents queuing up at the help centres on Tuesday, the second day of the certificate verification process for EAMCET engineering and pharmacy admissions.
The day saw 11,340 students out of the 15,000 called from across the state getting themselves registered.
As none of the centres clearly displayed the counselling sessions of different ranks, the students were informed of the schedule only after reaching the venue and had to wait for long hours for their turn.
“We live in Ghatkesar and since I was asked to attend the verification process at this centre, I arrived at 9 am but I’m still waiting for my turn to come,” said N.
Divya who attended the counselling at AV College of Arts, Science and Commerce in Domalguda.
With the college making seating arrangement for only a few candidates, the rest, nearly 3000 students, were left outside in the downpour.
The implementation of the uniform fee structure did not stop the touts from promising management quota seats at some of the top colleges, charging the aspirants ‘nominally’.
“Waiting for the management quota seats after regular counselling might prove to be expensive for the candidates.
They can avail our services by paying ‘just’ `6 lakh and get admitted to some of the best private engineering colleges in the state,” said a vendor of counselling handbooks at one of the help centres in the city.
Those who secured a rank within the top 30,000 of EAMCET seemed unanimous in their preference for a convener quota seat.
“Though the fee is same on paper, we will end up paying a lot more.
The classes are also delayed in such cases. ,” said N.
