Hyderabad, Sept. 24: The decision of the Centre to extend the ban on bulk SMS services till September 29, on account of the Allahabad High Court verdict on the Ayodhya issue, will hit over 1.5 lakh Eamcet qualified students who are eagerly waiting to hear if they have been granted admission to the engineering colleges.The students were to be informed of the details via SMS on September 25.
The department of technical education had made all the arrangements to send an SMS to each Eamcet student on Saturday specifying the college and course they were allotted in the recently concluded web-based counselling.
It had even entered into an MoU with BSNL for the purpose.
The results will now be sent via e-mail to students’ personal IDs. But another problem is that a majority of students from rural areas do not have e-mail IDs.
“The seat allotment results will be mailed to each student. Those who have not provided e-mail IDs can know the results by visiting the Eamcet website,” said Mr Raghunath, camp officer, Eamcet admissions.
This is the first time that SMS was used for various purposes for the Eamcet, such as communicating the location of exam centres and announcing the exam marks and ranks.
