The UPA government’s decision to pave the way for Telangana, will have massive repercussions on students from Telangana studying in coastal Andhra, especially with the onset of the Engineering, Agriculture and Medical Common Entrance Test (Eamcet) in 2014.
An estimated 50,000 students from Telangana, currently in their intermediate first year in colleges in Seemandhra cities, are planning to return to Telnagan, so as to not lose their local status for next year’s exam.
According to the rules, students can only appear as local candidates in the Eamcet exam, if they’ve completed their intermediate in the same state. With the bifurcation of the state into two, the Eamcet-2014 exam will be held separately in the two new states.
Students from Telangana will have to show proof of their intermediate education within the 10 ‘T’ districts if they want to claim local status and take admissions in the engineering and medical colleges here.
Many students from Khammam, Karimnagar, Adilabad and Nalagonda districts, study in corporate intermediate colleges, such as Narayana and Sri Chaitanya group of institutions located in Vijaywada and Guntur.
Mass migration of students from Telangana has been a common occurrence due the presence of well-qualified teachers in cities like Vijaywada. With the exception of Hyderabad, most private college groups have not set up their institutes in Telangana.
The bill for Telangana state is expected to come up in the winter session of parliament scheduled in November, said the union home minister.
