The Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) has overruled Building Penalization Scheme (BPS) papers of 65 professional educational institutions located in the city for not obeying the rules and necessities for regularization. Though the civic body can demolish the illegal constructions at nay time, but the officials are going slow on the organizations.

When the BPS plan was declared in 2008, only a few colleges loomed for regularizations as they were under gram panchayats. In 2008, the HMDA was formed by merging nearly 750 village and 30 municipalities. Since any did not apply BPS, the body had issued notices on the educational institution to get their illegal building regularized.

Nearly 185 educational institutions, mostly engineering colleges, had applied for regularization of their illegal buildings after the civic body served notices on them. While some institutions had taken ground +2 floor approvals from the regulatory and raised additional floors illegally, other had constructed without asking permissions from the regulatory.

The application of CMR Educational Society at Gundlapochamapally was overruled as the land use was not legitimate as per the master plan. Similarly, applications of Nova Educational Society (Bata Singaram), Gayatri Education Society (Korremula) and Vignan Vidyalaya (Nizampet) were also rejected.

Out of 185 applications, many were rejected due to non-submission of land use certificate, not having a road and not conforming to master plan. Some institutes did not provide papers, while some had not paid the penal amount.
