Tirupati, June 2 (TNT): TTD Joint Executive Officer (Health and Education) Dr. A. Sarath on Tuesday directed officials to ensure a smooth, transparent and merit-based admission process for the academic year 2026–27 across all 33 educational institutions managed by Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD).
Reviewing admission preparations through a Zoom conference from the SVBC office at Alipiri here along with TTD District Education Officer Venkata Sunil, Dr. Sarath emphasised that TTD has accorded equal importance to education and temple administration for more than seven decades.
The JEO instructed all institutions to constitute admission committees, establish dedicated help desks for students and parents, and conduct admissions strictly on merit while maintaining complete transparency and accountability throughout the process.
He also directed officials to collect admission fees only through online payment modes to ensure greater transparency and convenience.
Dr. Sarath further stressed the need for proper guidance boards and information centres at all institutions to assist applicants and their parents during the admission process.
Highlighting the importance of creating awareness, he instructed officials to undertake extensive publicity campaigns through print, digital and social media platforms for admissions to specialised institutions such as the SV School of Sculpture, Balamandir and the School for the Deaf.
The review meeting was attended by TTD District Education Officer Venkata Sunil, college principals and school headmasters, who participated through the Zoom conference.
