High turnout makes it difficult for officials to verify documents

• Verification must for rankers to become eligible for web counselling
• Officials explain to students about various features of the process

Vijayawada: EAMCET rankers, their parents and guardians arrived at the three helpline centres in the city in large numbers on Tuesday, the first day of verification of documents for web counselling, but because of the higher turnout the officials found it a little difficult to manage the verification process amidst many parents complaining about “delay.” The officials later initiated steps to hasten the process and address the concerns of the students.

The helpline centres in the city are located at SRR and CVR Government Degree College, Government Polytechnic College and the Andhra Loyola College. On the first day, rankers 1 to 6,000 were asked to attend the verification at the Government Polytechnic College, while those from 6,001 to 13,000 were instructed to attend the verification at SRR and CVR Government Degree College. Rankers from 13,001 to 20,000 had to attend the verification at Andhra Loyola College. On Wednesday, rankers 20,001 to 26,000 will have to attend the verification at Government Polytechnic College, while those from 26,001 to 33,000 should go to SRR and CVR College.

Rankers from 33,001 to 40,000 will have to get certificates verified at Andhra Loyola College. On all the days, ST candidates will have to get their certificates verified only at Government Polytechnic College.

Shamianas were erected and drinking water facility was provided to the students who came along with their parents.

Only after the submission of certificates and their verification at the helpline centres, the rankers concerned would become eligible for participating in the web counselling process.

Vital tips
Officials explained to the students about various features of web counselling and how it could be used effectively to get admission into the college and course of their choice.

Officials said that the students would have to carefully fill in their options by using internet either at home or at any internet café or at any other web facility. All care has to be exercised in this respect, as any minor mistake would lead to the student concerned ending up in colleges where they don't want to join.
