EAMCET 2008 -web counselling

Citing certain ‘technical difficulties’, the AP State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) has changed the dates of web-based counselling for admission into engineering courses from August 22-31 to August 24 - September 4.

A decision to this effect has been taken here on thursday after a highlevel conference held at the APSCHE.

"Candidates can exercise up to 200 options and change their options ten times. The final allotment letter can be downloaded from the websites www.eamcet.dte.gov.in or www.eamcet.apsche.ac.in from September 6," camp officer Raghunath Reddy said.

Candidates who have not taken the scratch cards in the first phase of counselling can obtain them from the nearest counselling center from August 26 onwards.

He also urged the students not to panic as the web-based counselling is not based on ‘first come; first serve’ policy.

Similarly, the final phase counselling that was earlier scheduled from September 2 - 24 has also been changed to September 8 - 30. So far 64,894 candidates have taken admission into engineering courses.

The Council has also allotted additional intake of 6,000 seats and gave permission to 24 engineering colleges making the final tally of colleges to 521. This means that there would be around 55,958 vacant seats for the final phase of counselling.

The counselling for admission into biotechnology and pharmacy courses under the BiPC stream would be held from September 1 - 6 (except on Sep 3). The classes would commence by the first week of October.
