Engineering Management Quota to be increased from 2012

The Government of Andhra Pradesh has decided to increase the Management Quota seats in Engineering Admissions from this year (2012-13). At present 70 percent of the engineering seats are being filled under EAMCET Convener through online web counseling. Remaining 30 percent seats are distributed as follows. 15 percent of the seats in over all 30 percent will be filled under Management Quota and another 15 percent will be allotted under NRI quota.

According to the latest reports, the Government is likely to cut down NRI quota to 5 percent and allocate 25 percent seats under Management quota. The proposed changes may not cut the number of seats available under Convener quota. The changes will be only within the 30 percent seats presently being filled under Management and NRI quota.

These changes may not bring any significant change in the pattern of admissions. Many colleges convert the vacant NRI quota seats to Management quota and fill them as per the fee charged for Management quota seats. Only reputed colleges are able to get the students under NRI quota. They can charge a whopping fee of Rs.2.5 lakhs for these seats.
