Web Based or Online Counselling
Online counselling is not the first time in India. It was done last year for AIEEE admissions. This year it was planned for Eamcet and ICET as well which cater to the colleges or universities in Andhra Pradesh state. AIEEE is for all Indian Engineering colleges. All of the procedure and helpline information is documented by APSCHE (Andhra Pradesh State Council for Higher Education) at the below websites.

The Benefits of Online Counselling
Unlike manual counselling conducted in the previous years, online counselling has a different procedure even though the end result is the same. That is certificate collection, seat choice & allotment, fee payment and college admission. All this revised procedure is mainly because of the change in the way counselling is done for this year. In the past years Eamcet counselling is done at the counselling centers with different dates for different ranks. So top rankers got their counselling done faster than others, while the highest rankers had to wait for their time. There were also phases for reservation based counselling.
This used to be a heavily time consuming process and it used to take months to complete the counselling. The poor candidates were those who had highest ranks and had to wait for many months before their admission process is completed while at the same time the top rankers are already admitted and started classes by that time.
This year this has changed, thanks to the new web based or online counselling for Eamcet and ICET 2009. The only added troubles are to know how to place your options for colleges during online counselling time.
But online counselling’s advantage is that it takes less number of days for this process. That could be the reason why the committee took so much time to announce the dates. The preparation time is more but many more months are saved. All the rankers from top to bottom will have their counselling at the same time including reservation quotas as well.
Problems with Online Counselling
There is a fear of misplaced options that may result in loss of seat so one should place as many options as possible. Another fear is that the server downtime, if happens during counselling, can create a havoc as many candidates will not be able to understand the online error messages. Hopefully this part will be taken care of as per instructions for online counselling that APSCHE has provided.

The problem happened as I mentioned during Eamcet Online Counselling on the first day itself. This shows poor planning on the part of the APSCHE and Counselling Committee who have allowed first 50,000 rankers to place options on the very first day! This year, 3.5 lakh students have written Eamcet 2009. This count used to be less than a lakh around 2000. Though the committees have taken a good decision to go for online counselling to save time, it has become an undue burden on the candidate's part to choose the options as well as wrecking havoc by the server crashes. This is time to be patient and careful.
