Why Are So Many Seats Vacant?
The reasons behind the 5900 vacant engineering seats include:
Preference for top colleges: Many students await final rounds to secure reputed institutions.
Branch-specific vacancies: Less popular branches like Metallurgy, Ceramic Engineering, and Biotechnology see low takers despite good placements.
Cost considerations: Private college fees deter some students from opting despite seat availability.
Other entrance results: Overlapping counselling schedules with national-level or private university admissions divert applicants.
Impact on Engineering Colleges
These vacancies raise concerns for colleges, particularly private institutions relying on fee revenues for operational sustainability. Experts suggest:
Fee waivers or scholarships to attract candidates.
Counselling awareness programs to guide students on varied branches with growth potential.
Strengthening placement records to regain student confidence.
