While the number of B.Tech seats crossed 3.6 lakh in the state’s 720-odd engineering colleges with this, Eamcet officials have received 2.92 lakh applications for admission so far this year. Meanwhile, the state government is likely to raise the annual fees from Rs 31,000 to Rs 38,000. But this, officials said, will be a common fee for all, unlike Rs 31,000 as fee for convenor quota (70 per cent seats) and Rs 95,000 currently charged for admission to the remaining seats under management quota.

The government had earlier invited fresh fee proposals from the colleges, and managements of many colleges sought a hike up to Rs 55,000. The government is learnt to have settled for Rs 38,000 and is likely to submit an affidavit in the Supreme Court to this effect soon.
