The date of counselling for Engineering, Agriculture and Medical Common Entrance Test (EAMCET) candidates in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana will be announced on July 30, 2014.

A decision to this effect was taken by the Council for Higher Education for both the states which met here on Monday. The verification of certificates would commence on August 7.

The officials from Telangana did not participate in the meeting. The council, however, went ahead with the meeting as there was required quorum.

It may be noted that the Supreme Court had taken serious note of the delay in admissions in view of the stalemate between the Government of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana on fee reimbursement for students pursuing professional courses in engineering colleges.

The Telangana Govt has been maintaining that it would not foot the fee reimbursement bill for students from Andhra Pradesh and has hinted at prescribing new criteria for deciding nativity of the basis of students such as fixing 1956 as the cut-off year to treat as natives of Telangana State
