Hyderabad, Oct. 10: Tampering with the options provided by students in the recent Eamcet and Icet web-based counselling, has shown how vulnerable the internet based system is, and has shocked students, many of whom find they have been allotted seats in colleges they had never opted for.
The lower-rung staff at counselling centres in various districts colluded with the managements of private engineering, MBA and MCA colleges to change the choice of colleges entered by students after getting their passwords. These incidents of “options tampering” came to light in Kurnool, Kadapa, Hyderabad, Ranga Reddy, Vijayawada and Visakhapatnam, which have many engineering colleges.
Students, who have complained to the AP State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) that they have been allotted seats in colleges they have never even opted for, alleged that these colleges paid computer operators in counselling centres `5,000 to `20,000 for each seat they diverted.
The operators were appointed to assist students since a majority of Eamcet-qualified students hail from rural areas and have no computer knowledge.
