PREPARATIONS ARE in full swing at the Institute OF Engineering and Rural Technology (IERT), Allahabad for the on-campus on-line counselling of the Uttar Pradesh Technical University (UPTU) scheduled to start from July 10. The institute officials are in the final phase of completing the necessary installations of equipment including the computer systems and the requisite software.
The on-campus on-line counselling will be conducted at 9 centres across the State, including IERT. The students appearing for SEE-06 from different centres of UPTU will have to report to the counselling centres designated for the examination centres.
Expecting a large number of candidates during the 18-day counselling programme, the IERT officials have made some temporary provisions for the convenience of the candidates. Prof SC Rohatgi will be the chief counselling in-charge, Neeraj Shukla and Mahesh Mishra will be assistant counselling in-charge.
"We have 250 terminals for the counselling out of which 200 are available for the candidates for entering their options and the remaining 50 for pre-option works. Around 33 faculty members, 25 class-III employees and 25 class-IV employees will be involved in the counselling", said Prof Rohatgi.
A 2mbps leased line, server and software for protected network for the entire counselling has been provided by National Informatics Centre and the NIC authorities will very soon conduct a training session for the IERT staff and employees for the D-day.
Shukla said: "For the counselling we will be having one reporting counter, four verification counters, four registration counters and four security and counselling fee depositing counters besides two part-fee depositing counters and one allotment letter issuing counter for the convenience of the candidates."
"The candidates need to bring all original certificates, one set of attested photocopy of each certificate, four copies of their photographs identical to the one pasted on the application form, admit card, rank letter and a crossed demand draft of Rs 5000 as initial deposit and an account payee demand draft of Rs 500 as counselling fees drawn in favour of Finance Officer, Uttar Pradesh Technical University, Lucknow, payable at Lucknow", said Prof Rohatgi.
He further said that the candidates after submitting the fee would have to proceed to the document verification counters, thereafter the candidates would be required to exercise their final choices of seats on-line. The choices submitted on day one will be processed centrally and the list of candidates who are allotted an institution along with branch for admission will be displayed on the website on day two. "The student will have to deposit an account payee bank draft as part of college/institute fee Rs 15000 for general & OBC candidates and Rs 7500 for SC & ST candidates at the counselling centre", added Prof Rohatgi.
