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.

Telangana High Court Rejects Fee Hike for Private Engineering Colleges — Demand for CSE Seats Soars
Private engineering colleges' request to increase fees was rejected by the Telangana High Court. The High Court has issued interim orders rejecting the request of private colleges to increase fees. It has directed the Fees Control Committee to fix engineering fees within six weeks. There is strong demand for seats in private engineering colleges in the state. Parents are willing to pay any amount for a Computer Science Engineering (CSE) seat in top colleges. Since there are not enough seats to meet this demand, management is profiting from the situation. However, in some colleges, even if the fee is paid, there is no guarantee of getting a seat without a good rank. In the management quota, competition exists only for seats in computer science-related courses. There are 1.18 lakh seats in 175 engineering colleges across the state. Out of these, more than 60 percent are in computer science and related courses. Last year, a total of 1,07,160 seats were filled — 79,224 in the convener quota and 27,936 in the management quota. Although there are 175 colleges in the state, demand is concentrated in only 15 or 20 colleges. As a result, these colleges are charging very high fees. It has become difficult for students to get seats in popular courses like CSE at good colleges. Due to this, parents are willing to spend large amounts on their children's future. Many are paying lakhs for management quota seats. Consequently, CSE-related seats in top colleges are being sold for Rs. 10 lakhs to Rs. 20 lakhs. In less reputed colleges, fees range from Rs. 8 lakhs to Rs. 12 lakhs.
