AIEEE 2009 Counselling Online Now, Online AIEEE Counselling

New Delhi: Here is good news for students appearing for All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE), as the AIEEE will conduct online counseling for admission. It will be easier for students as they can easily attend the counseling from their home town.

"We have framed this process for convenience of students. Under this process candidates need to go the allotted institute only before three days of commencement of the academic session, scheduled to be held from July 20," said Dr. Y. V. Rao, Director NIT, Warangal.

"Students will be provided a log in and a password at the time of the delivery of the AIEE scorecard. With the help of provided log in and password students can fill their preferences for stream and colleges from the list mentioned in the website," added Rao
