Hyderabad: Students seeking admissions into degree colleges through Degree Online Service of Telangana (DOST) are facing problems in completing the admission forms because of mandatory biometric registrations imposed by the government.

According to the new rules, students getting admissions through DOST should successfully complete their intermediate and then register their fingerprints at the Mee Seva centres through a biometric system by submitting their intermediate pass certificate and Aadhaar number.
They would then get a token number which would give them access to the website for online application process.

As the Mee Seva centres are falling short for lakhs of students they are facing troubles in completing the process without wasting time.

According to the schedule, the online admission process through the DOST will be available only till June 5. The admission process was started May 18.

The Mee Seva centres are the only authorised centres for biometric registrations and the students are flocking in thousands to get complete the process.
