Engineering Entrance
,
The Orissa high court on Tuesday directed the state government to extend the last date of OJEE engineering counseling by four days. The OJEE authorities had fixed the last date of counselling on July 12, but the high court ordered to extend it to July 16.
Justice Sanju Panda gave the direction while adjudicating a batch of petitions filed by various private engineering colleges. The petitioners alleged that even though All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) had given its approval to increased seats in 20 private engineering colleges, but the Odisha Joint Entrance Exam (OJEE) authorities were not allowing these colleges to participate in the counselling process. Taking note of the allegation, the high court has directed state government to display details of the increased seats in the website of OJEE.
"The high court has directed state government to extend the last date of engineering counselling to July 16 and has ordered them to display the detail information on increased seats in the engineering colleges in the OJEE website," said Binod Dash, secretary of Odisha Private Engineering College Association (OPECA).
