Hyderabad, Dec 16th: The long pending approval for introducing polytechnic courses in private colleges was finally approved with the state government allowing 67 colleges to introduce the course from this academic year. Though the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) had approved 91 engineering colleges in the state for the purpose, the state government has rejected permission to 24 colleges for not complying with the stipulated norms.
While some colleges failed to submit the joint fixed deposit receipts, others did not have the required infrastructure and sought permission to run the second shift from the next academic year. The state already has 40,000 seats in 160 polytechnic colleges. With the latest decision, another 13,500 seats will be added to the existing intake. A total of 1,90,348 candidates in the state appeared for the polytechnic entrance exam this year, of whom 1,54,328 candidates qualified recording a pass percentage of 81.08. However the available intake was not in tune with the demand.
