ICET 2010 Second Phase Counseling Notification

Updated on 15 September 2010: ICET Second Phase counseling will be conducted from 24 September to 27 September. Candidates can exercise web options according to the specified dates to be released in a new notification. It appears that MBA and MCA courses are on their way to lost their sheen. Both these courses have enjoyed huge demand a few years back. But the latest ICET Counseling figures showing that Graduates are no more opting for these professional courses due to slow down in job market. It is estimated that about 21347 seats remain vacant in MCA colleges across Andhra Pradesh after first phase ICET counseling. Shrinking opportunities in software industry is the prime reason for this development. In MBA, 8483 seats remain vacant in a total of 52588 seats. It is most likely that the APSCHE will release notification for Second Phase of ICET 2010 Counseling soon. Six more new MBA colleges will be included in Second Phase Counseling.

There are 660 MCA colleges in the state. Out of these only 38 percent seats filled after seats allotment in First Phase counseling. It should be noted that students are not going for this course even fee reimbursement scheme is continued by the government. Corporate companies are preferring B.Tech. CSE / IT candidates than MCA students in placements. This is also a major reason for this pathetic situation.

There are 87039 seats available in both MBA and MCA courses in Andhra Pradesh under Convenor quota. 57209 seats allotted in the first phase. Though 1,50,950 candidates qualified in ICET, only 60214 students appeared for certificate verification. Among these only 59456 candidates exercised web options. There are no takers for management quota seats as well. In fact, it is good opportunity for those candidates with real interest in these courses to grab a seat in a reputed college under management quota. And, who knows, third and final phases along with spot admissions with a fee concession also will be there in MBA and MCA colleges.
