Telangana chief secretary Rajiv Sharma said the proposal to change the definition of a “local candidate” is still under consideration but, it will not affect the admission process in any way.
He also said that the fee reimbursement scheme is not linked to the admission process, and that admission is an academic issue while fees reimbursement is a social welfare scheme. He added that the local candidate definition will only be applicable to the fee reimbursement scheme.
“Nobody is denying AP students the right to study in any Telangana institution. The only difference is that now the T state has decided to reimburse the fees of only Telangana students. The criteria deciding who will get the benefit will be decided later,” said Mr Sharma.
He added, “According to the the AP Reorganisation Act, a student from AP or Telangana can take admission in either state based on allocation of unreserved seats. Admission process remains the same. It is only the issue of fee reimbursement.”
