TS DOST: Degree online service dates extended

Even after the spot admissions in the fourth round, the colleges could not fill the vacant seats.

The TS DOST for degree online services dates have been extended. The decision was taken due to less admissions into the degree colleges.

Deputy Chief minister Kadiam Srihari, who held a review meeting on the Degree Online Services of Telangana (DOST), has directed the officials of Telangana State Council of Higher Education (TSCHE) to extend the date for admissions.

Council chairman T Papi Reddy who participated in the meeting said that the date may be extended up to September 12. The government is much concerned with the low number of admissions into the government and private degree colleges in the State. Out of the total four lakh seats, so far only 2 lakh have been filled in the four phases of admissions process.

Even after the spot admissions in the fourth round, the colleges could not fill the vacant seats. On the other hand, some students were unable to choose the colleges correctly and are demanding some more time. Several students, who have aspired for courses like pharmacy, polytechnic and other courses and could not get seats there, want to join the degree colleges. Keeping this also in view the TSCHE has been told to extend the date.
