SKIT's revival opens new doors for tech students in Srikalahasti
Srikalahasti: The long-awaited revival of the Srikalahasteeswara Institute of Technology (SKIT) has finally been completed, fulfilling the election promise made by Srikalahasti MLA Bojjala Sudhir Reddy. His dedicated efforts led to SKIT's merger with Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU) Anantapur, and the stage is now set for the admissions process from this academic year itself. SKIT, established in 1997 by the Srikalahasteeswara Swamy Vari Devasthanam with support from former minister Bojjala Gopalakrishna Reddy, was one of the popular choices for engineering aspirants. However, due to declining admissions and financial difficulties subsequently, the Endowments Department suspended new enrollments in 2020, leading to the institution's closure. Prior to that, Gopalakrishna Reddy had proposed a merger with JNTU, which was approved by the State Cabinet in 2018. However, the plan stalled after a change in the State government. When the NDA government came to power, MLA Sudhir Reddy revived the proposal with support from Minister for Human Resources Development Nara Lokesh, and his efforts have now borne fruit. As a result, official orders have been issued for SKIT's merger with JNTU Anantapur, and the college will now participate in the second phase of the ongoing EAMCET counselling. Beginning this academic year, B Tech admissions will be available in Computer Science Engineering (CSE), Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE), Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE), Computer Science Engineering in Data Science (CSD), and CSE with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (CSM). Each course will offer 66 seats under the convenor quota, with a course fee of Rs 70,000. The Institute set up in 55 acres, has crores of properties under its procession besides valuable infrastructure in labs and library. SKIT was the only technical college under the Endowments Department's jurisdiction in the State, and with the merger, its operations will be fully managed by JNTU Anantapur, bringing new hope and confidence to prospective students.

Competition heats up for TNEA 2025 as more students score high cut-off score
This year, 144 students have secured a perfect cut-off score of 200, more than double the figure of 65 last year, according to the merit list released by the Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions (TNEA) 2025 committee. The increase signals a stiffer competition for coveted seats across the State. As cut-offs fall slightly overall, more students are clustering in tighter score bands. For example, students with a cut-off of 198 this year will find themselves ranked similarly to those with 197 last year. But they will now be competing against 1,035 more candidates. The disparity is even more pronounced in the lower score ranges. A candidate with a 145 cut-off this year holds the same relative rank as someone with a 129.5 cut-off last year — a 15.5-mark difference. In this bracket, 1,74,740 students are competing for seats, up from 1,32,337 in 2024, an increase of 42,403 applicants, said R. Ashwin, an independent career guidance counsellor. 'In 2024, only 78% of the candidates who scored 200 or above 198 took up the seats allotted to them. Among those with cut-offs between 199 and 195, just 74% opted to join. Overall, the percentage of candidates accepting seats has dropped at every level. Notably, only 40% of TNEA-registered candidates scoring below 130 took part in counselling,' he added. Mr. Ashwin also pointed to a shifting trend in course preferences. 'Computer Science Engineering and Computer Science-related programmes, like AI and Data Science, continue to draw top scorers. However, students with slightly lower marks are increasingly turning to the ECE [Electronics and Communication Engineering] stream, which is likely to see more high cut-offs this year.' Girls make strides Girls have made strides in the merit list. Twelve girls from the general academic stream — including five of government schools — are among the top 10 rankers, all with perfect 200. However, girls represent only 45% of the total applicants, numbering 1,09,055, compared with 1,32,582 boys. In the horizontal reservation category for government school students, 24,752 girls have applied as against 22,619 boys.
