Hyderabad: All Minority Employees Welfare Association’s state general secretary engineer Syed Hussain met the chairman of A.P. State Council of Higher Education Prof. K.C. Reddy and appealed to extend fees exemption to all Muslim minority candidates who have taken admission in B.Tech, M.Tech, MCA and MBA under BC-E Category.
The state government has issued the fees exemption order, G.O. Ms. No. 23, for the candidates below 1 lakh annual income. But that order is not being implemented by private engineering colleges where the Muslim minority candidates have taken admission, says a statement from the association. In this connection the association has appealed to the government to strictly implement the above order.
Its general secretary Syed Hussain appealed to the government to extend the pre- and Post-Matric Scholarships up to October 2008, as the admissions in the colleges are going on till today.
The association has also demanded to the government to increase the annual income limit for fees exemption from 1 lakh to 2.5 lakh, as the Class IV employees are also not benefiting from the scheme.
