The Chief Minister K Rosiaiah was also informed about the situation, who immediately ordered the concerned authorities to “act tough “and ensure that the managements of the colleges adhere to the set standard strictly.

Therefore the state government formed a committee with Technical Education Commissioner K Lakshminarayana as chairman with the task to inspect engineering colleges to find out infrastructure and faculty availability.

Citing a NASSCOM study,Christopher said that while the Andhra Pradesh was producing only five to eight per cent “employable engineering graduates” every year against the national rate of 25 per cent.

Another reason which might lead to the shutdown of more than 200 engineering colleges across the state might be due to some severe issues like shortage of students.

Of the 2. From the total number of engineering colleges available in the state 67 lakh and after the phase-1 counselling more than 95000 remained unfilled.

About 2. This year 60 lakh students cleared the engineering, agriculture and medical Common Entrance Test (CET) but over a lakh of them didn’t even appear for the counselling for admission in various colleges as per the study.

For the convenor quota where the seats are filled during the counselling process there were 31,968 seats that remained unfilled while in the management quota there were no takers.

The strife over the demand for and against the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh has left majority of the engineering colleges in the Telangana region high and dry as students prefer not to join them, given the violence being perpetrated by the pro-statehood agitators.

This resulted in a situation where, for the first time in many years, students from the state have opted for colleges in the neighbouring Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
