25 August, 2006

My dear Bashirbhai,

Thank you for your letter of 24 August, 2006 and for details about SWII System.  My statement was based on earlier information. 

However, I am not happy that some professional colleges have introduced their own separate admission test which is generally a farce. Secondly, the management invariably sells its seats to the biggest bidders.  I would like to know whether 7,000 engineering unfilled seats in Muslim  engineering college are vacant or how they have been filled.

The AP Government’s SW II Order is not balanced. The minority institutions have the discretion to determine the minority quota which should not be less than 50%.  But they should fill up non-reserved (general) seats through the common state test.

With kind regards,

Yours sincerely,

 (SYED SHAHABUDDIN)
