# FATHI calls for extra ICET counselling round, wants B-category dates deferred

The Federation of Associations of Telangana Higher Institutions urged an additional MBA/MCA counselling round and asked for postponement of B-category admissions due to missing memos and pending supplementary results for 2025-26 graduates.

## Key takeaways

- FATHI has called for an extra ICET counselling round for MBA and MCA admissions in Telangana.
- The federation wants the B-category admissions schedule postponed to the last week of September.
- The push stems from delays in issuing degree memos and pending supplementary results for 2025-26 graduates.

## What Happened

The Federation of Associations of Telangana Higher Institutions (FATHI) has asked the Telangana Council of Higher Education and the ICET convenor to hold an extra counselling round for MBA and MCA admissions. The federation also requested delaying the schedule for B-category admissions. The appeal cites that several universities have not issued marks memos or pass certificates for students who completed their degree in the 2025-26 academic year, and supplementary exam results at some universities are still pending. As a result, many eligible students could not participate in certificate verification during the first and second counselling rounds.

FATHI’s representatives made the request in light of these administrative delays and asked the government to move the B-category admissions to the last week of September.

## Why It Matters

The move seeks to ensure that students who are eligible for MBA and MCA admissions are able to complete document verification and participate in counselling. Delays in issuing memos and certificates, along with pending supplementary results, can affect a student’s ability to secure admission in the current cycle. A postponement could extend the admission timeline for affected cohorts and potentially impact seat allocation and admission certainty within the targeted counselling rounds.

## Background

FATHI represents multiple higher education associations in Telangana. The request to extend counselling and postpone B-category admissions comes amid reports of administrative delays at universities regarding degree documentation and supplementary examination outcomes for the 2025-26 batch. The specifics of the counselling schedule and the exact timelines for B-category admissions were not detailed in the filing, but the federation called for a last-week September postponement.

## Key Facts

 
- FATHI urged the Telangana Council of Higher Education and the ICET convenor to conduct an additional counselling round for MBA and MCA admissions.
 
- The federation asked for postponement of the B-category admissions schedule.
 
- Universities reportedly have not issued marks memos or pass certificates to 2025-26 degree graduates.
 
- Supplementary examination results are still awaited at some universities.
 
- The appeal references difficulties in certificate verification during the first and second counselling rounds.
 
- The call to postpone B-category admissions targets the last week of September.

## What Happens Next

The published report does not indicate a formal decision by the Telangana Council of Higher Education or the ICET convenor. The outcome will depend on how the authorities respond to FATHI’s request, including whether an additional counselling round is approved and whether B-category admission timelines are adjusted to align with document issuance and exam result schedules.
