A total of 1,08,385 candidates have been declared eligible for admission to engineering courses for the academic year 2011-12.
A total of 1,08,385 candidates have been declared eligible for admission to engineering courses for the academic year 2011-12. The directorate of technical education (DTE) announced on Monday evening the final merit list of the eligible candidates who will now participate in the centralised admission process (CAP). While CAP rounds for autonomous institutes will start from tomorrow, there is slight change in the admission schedule of the other engineering institutes.
Seat distribution list for other engineering institutes which was to be declared on July 12 will now be announced on July 18 after and the CAP rounds will commence from July 19. There are a total of 1.27 lakh seats available for engineering courses. A total of 1,10,849 candidates have applied for engineering admissions, out of which 2,464 have been declared ineligible for not fulfilling the required criteria.
The AICTE recently relaxed the eligibility for engineering courses by 5%. After state government’s approval on the AICTE notification, there was fresh round for newly eligible students to apply for admission.
According to information provided by DTE, the exact number of seats available for engineering seats is yet to be finalised. Hence the seat distribution list that was to be out on July 12 has been postponed to July 18. An official from DTE said, “Minority institutes have to yet submit the data of their surrendered seats. Some institutes are likely to get increased intake capacity. At the same time, some new institutes may be approved in the near future. Considering these factors, even if the seat distribution list is declared on Tuesday, it will be tentative and subject to change. Hence, the change in the admission schedule.”
The CAP round can commence only after the list of seat distribution is declared, as the information about available seats has to be provided to students to fill the option form.
“Since information on availability of seats in autonomous engineering institutes is already available, CAP round can commence from Tuesday. We are hoping that the autonomous institutes’ admission process will be over by then, so that students will have clear picture before they put their preferences”, said the official. If this admission process gets over, students who have missed their chance getting into autonomous institutes will also have better idea for applying to other institutes.
Meanwhile, 16,000 students have been declared eligible for admission to Pharmacy courses this year.
