Hi Anvesh,

There is no more sports quota for the session 2018-2019. The discontinuation of sports quota to seek admission in engineering, agriculture and pharmacy courses for 2018-19 has left scores of students in a lurch. Until last year, the counselling process for sports quota was held with NCC and special category candidates. However, this year, sports quota was scrapped by the authorities forcing qualified candidates to run from pillar to post to secure admission college of their choice. Among them is national level table tennis player who despite securing a good score in the common entrance test has been struggling to get admission in an engineering college. According to officials, there was a spurt in cases where the quota was misused for admission into reputed colleges.

B Srinivas, Eamcet camp officer said that they are awaiting orders from the Sports Authority of Telangana. The state constituted acommittee of SAT members to identify games which will be considered for admissions. After they receive communication, they will conduct counselling under sports quota.

Thank you and best of luck.
