Telangana private colleges plan to boycott CETs over fee reimbursement dues

The managements of the Telangana private professional colleges are planning to boycott all common entrance tests, including the TG EAPCET and to hold their own admissions for the forthcoming academic year. The move is being planned due to inordinate delay in the release of fee reimbursement arrears by the State government.

Every year, the government holds CETs such as EAPCET, ICET, EdCET, LAWCET to



fill up seats in engineering, pharmacy, law, BEd, MBA, MCA in the private professional colleges as well.

However, the government has not been releasing fee reimbursement arrears for seats filled under the convener quota. As a result, dues have piled up over the years. The private colleges claim that fee reimbursement dues, including those of the present academic year, crossed Rs 10,000 crore.
