Counselling Fee for Engineering Admission Waived

Chennai: Higher Education Minister K Ponmudy on Thursday announced that the counselling fee for admission to BE/B Tech courses would be waived, and 50 per cent concession on the bus fare would be allowed for outstation candidates and one person accompanying them.

Addressing a press conference here, the Minister said the counselling fee had earlier been reduced to Rs.200 and now, the government had decided to waive it fully. The concession in bus fare can be availed of by showing the hall ticket.

Ponmudy said counselling would be held for 2,000 students per day and each student would be given 15 to 20 minutes to select the college. Special buses will be operated from Koyambedu bus terminus as well as other important points in Chennai.

Warning:

The Minister warned that the government was considering action against those spreading rumours that students from rural areas would be affected due to the normalization method.

Stating that people running coaching centres had been spreading such canards, he appealed to students and parents not to believe such propaganda.

Reiterating that counselling for engineering courses would be held only in Chennai, Ponmudy said parents had not raised any objection to this. Further, conducting counselling at a single centre would only help the students, he said.
