59 engineering colleges have zero students
31,934 seats were allotted at the end of first round
Fifty-nine engineering branches in various colleges reported zero intake of students after the Admission Committee for Professional Courses declared allotment of the first round of admission for Bachelor of Engineering on Thursday. To worsen the situation, 282 courses in various colleges reported students in single digit.
While government colleges registered 186 10,777 seats as vacant, SFIs had as many as 23,302 of 44,645 seats vacant. About 60% seats remained vacant in civil engineering and 58% in mechanical engineering.
Officials said that 35,222 students filed online choices for 55,422 seats. Of them, 31,934 seats were allocated and 23,488 seats remained vacant after the first round of admission. The allotment of seats were done in 16 government, four grant-in-aid, one government autonomous college, two colleges running in public-private partnership and 117 SFIs, said officials.
“The seats that have remained vacant in government colleges would be in least-preferred courses like Mining or Electronics & Communication. Like always, colleges in interior parts and those who are now notorious for not having good infrastructure and facilities do not get adequate number of students,” said G P Vadodaria, member secretary of ACPC.
Interestingly, even while development work seems to be in full swing in the country, students’ interest in pursuing civil engineering seems to be going down. According to ACPC, 60% of seats have remained vacant in the discipline after the first round. Principal of VGEC, Rajul Gajjar said that it is surprising to see this. “It is perceive that students get jobs easily and fast in IT and related courses.
Civil infrastructure is booming but students are not seeking admission in the course. It will so happen that when there is boom in job market in sector, we will not have many students in the discipline,” she said.
