Engineering counselling begins but permissions for new courses yet to come
The Hindu
Delay in granting affiliations to colleges
A hazy picture on seats and colleges blurred the options for engineering aspirants on the first day of options that began on Saturday due to delay in granting affiliations to the colleges as well as permissions for increased intake in the existing courses by the Jawaharlal Nehru University of Technology Hyderabad (JNTU-H). Even as students logged in to exercise their options to choose courses and colleges JNTU-H had not totally given the affiliation orders to be included in the options by the counselling officials. Some permissions came late on Saturday though students logged in from the morning itself. Lack of clarity on new courses like Machine Learning - Artificial Intelligence; Computer Science and Design; Artificial Intelligence - Data Science in the Computer Science Engineering (CSE) stream; Automation and Robotics in Mechanical Engineering stream also confused students. Colleges had already submitted requests for permission but were not granted so far.More Related News
