AP committee to discuss course counseling dates today

Andhra Pradesh Cabinet's sub-committee on tuition fee reimbursement and other student-related issues would meet today to discuss the dates for counselling for admission to professional courses (engineering, etc).

The committee, headed by Social Welfare Minister P Satyanarayana, met at the state secretariat here this evening.
On the fee reimbursement, he said the committee was not in favour of disappointing any student or his family.
While the meeting was going on, members of a pro-Telangana students group entered the building, and shouted slogans against the government for seeking to put a cap on fee reimbursement earlier.
The security personnel, outnumbered and caught unawares, found it difficult to drive them out.
 The fee reimbursement has become a major political issue with TDP and other opposition parties as well as the student groups opposing the government's earlier move to put a cap on the amount for the backward class and economically backward class students.
TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu and other party leaders staged a protest here on the reimbursement issue. They were taken into custody and released later.
