ICET Second Phase Counselling

The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has approved another 115 MBA and 15 MCA colleges in the state for this academic year.

The state already has 498 MBA colleges with an intake of 34,701 seats and 698 MCA colleges with 46,618 seats. With these new colleges, the MBA seats will increase by 9,000 and MCA by 1,500 seats.

The AP State Council of Higher Education, which had earlier decided not to allow admissions to colleges that were approved after the counselling schedule was announced, has backtracked.

“We will conduct the second phase of counselling by September 10 for admissions into these colleges,” said Prof K.C. Reddy, the APSCHE chairman.
