Telangana students face hardship as fee reimbursement dues mount
HYDERABAD: Engineering students and those who passed Intermediate are facing enormous delays in receiving their certificates due to unresolved fee reimbursement issues, with private colleges withholding certificates despite state government orders. The government had instructed all private college managements not to retain certificates of students who completed their studies in the previous academic year on the grounds of pending reimbursements. An estimated Rs 800 crore in fee reimbursements is pending, covering professional, non-professional, and private junior colleges. Although Rs 200 crore worth of payment tokens have recently been issued, the actual funds are yet to be released. This is not the first time such hardship has occurred; last year too, many students faced similar difficulties in obtaining their certificates. Despite a government order issued two months ago to avert certificate withholding, they have failed to comply. In addition to the reimbursement issue, some private colleges in the city are reportedly demanding full fees up front from newly admitted undergraduate students, refusing admission otherwise. 'It's been three months since I completed my and I'm still struggling to obtain my certificates. I was recently shortlisted for an IT job but couldn't provide the required documents, as the college refused to give them until I paid the remaining fees,' said Sai Durga, a recent graduate. 'Due to delayed reimbursements, colleges are unable to manage their expenses, especially hostel maintenance. Basic amenities are being denied to students. Several representations have been submitted to higher education officials, but they have gone unheard,' said Aravelli Jagan, student union leader, JNTUH. Denying allegations of withholding certificates, Suryanarayana Reddy, State President of the Telangana State Private Degree and PG Colleges Management Association, said, 'We are not withholding certificates, but we are requesting students to pay pending fees. The state government has delayed the reimbursement for the past three years, with total dues reaching Rs 800 crore.'

Students fume as JNTU starts B Pharm course sans PCI nod: 2024-25 students left in limbo; varsity seeks retroactive approval
HYDERABAD: Not just the Integrated Dual Degree Programmes (IDP), but even the B Pharmacy course at Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad (JNTUH), has started without the required approvals. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now B Pharmacy began at the campus college in 2024-25 with an intake of 66 seats. Varsity officials said they could not apply for approval of the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) last year as the application window closed by the time they got the state's nod to start the course. "We are trying to get the course ratified from the PCI," said Venkata Narasimha Reddy Guduru, principal, JNTUH University College of Pharmaceutical Sciences. He said they have the council's approval for 2025-26. "About a week back, we got approval for the coming academic year. Based on that, we are trying to get the course ratified for the previous year," he added. Now, as the first year has started and even exams have been conducted, the varsity has to either shift students to a recognised college or get the course ratified at any cost. In fact, officials have already shifted the pharmacy campus to Sultanpur, which has approval from PCI, for the academic year 2025-26. "Students of 2024-25 batch will continue to suffer as they are the only pharmacy students at the Hyderabad campus right now. Initially, they said it was approved by the executive council. But later, even that turned out to be false," said J Dileep from the JNTUH Student Protection Forum. A first year student said: "I joined the campus college as it was one of the options available in the counselling. I was under the impression it had all permissions."
