While Pharmacy and Architecture saw a good response this year in admissions of technical education in the state, a large number of seats remained vacant in engineering and Master of Computer Application (MCA) courses this year, shows the data of Directorate of Technical Education.
Though Pharmacy and Architecture saw a good response this year, 315 remained vacant out of total 17188 seats remained vacant in first-year Bachelor of Pharmacy courses, while 450 out of total 5277 seats remained vacant in first-year Architecture courses.
However, like every year, a large number of seats remained vacant in the first-year Bachelor of engineering courses. 56,406 seats remained vacant in engineering courses out of 1.30 lakh seats. Similarly, MCA courses saw also 4038 vacant seats out of 8,230 seats. On the other hand, in Master in Business Management (MBM) with a total intake capacity of 34407 intake capacity, had 5003 vacant seats.
This year the students who are waiting for their repeater's examination results of Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) also got a chance to participate in admissions process after the Supreme Court extended the date of admissions for technical courses till 31 August. Earlier the last date for admissions for technical courses, as decided by Directorate of Technical Education (DTE), was 15 August. This year almost 1.05 lakh students registered with DTE for the centralized admission process for undergraduate engineering courses. Last year this figure of applications were 1.19lakh which mean more than this year.
When asked for the reason behind a large number of vacant seats in engineering colleges, an official from Directorate of Technical Education, said, "It is because a large number of students come from rural areas to take admission in urban areas. Most of the seats that go vacant in engineering are in colleges in rural areas, and not in the city. We are yet to compare numbers with previous years' data, but we will look into the matter and do the needful to put a stop to it."
