Over 2 lakh D.Ed candidates' admission was indefinitely postponed due to the Telangana strike
The ongoing Sakala Janula Samme in the Telangana region has taken its toll on the admission process to various professional courses in the entire state.

The admissions for various professional courses like M.Tech, M.Pharmacy, Pharm-D, B.Ed, D.Ed, Law and Physical Education have abruptly been stalled in the state. Lakhs of students who had qualified in the entrance tests have been left in the lurch.

Though it's been nearly three months since the announcement of the results of the entrance tests, the state government is yet to initiate the admissions process. Students are tense because admission officials are not able to clarify when the admissions will begin and all this is thanks to the strike in the T-region.

The officials could not initiate the admission process even in the Seemandhra region due to the centralised admission procedure adopted by the government for professional courses.

They say that unless the situation becomes normal in the T-region, it would not be possible for them to admit students. Several lower-rung staff and officials working in admission counselling centres in the T-region are participating in the strike.

The officials have completed admissions only for Eamcet as of now. Over two lakh candidates have qualified the D.Ed entrance exam this year.
The results were announced three months ago however, candidates are still awaiting admission. Though it was initially decided to conduct counselling in Hyderabad from September 26, it was indefinitely postponed due to the T-agitations.

No one knows anything about the PGECET counselling for admission to the M.Tech and M.Pharmacy courses. The officials could not release the schedule for counselling to fill 25,000 seats in these courses. The schedule for counselling to fill 14,000 seats in the three year and five year law courses under Lawcet is yet to be released.
