With the Common Admission Process (CAP) conducted by the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) coming to an end on Wednesday, there are over 50,000 engineering seats yet to be filled.
These seats will now be filled at institute level across the state. However, experts feel that around 30,000 engineering seats will go vacant this year.
Similarly, the situation is no better for MBA courses. Around 20,000 seats will go vacant in MBA institutes across the state this year.
A DTE official said, “Total seats available for engineering admissions under CAP are 70,858. However, as the CAP rounds are coming to an end, over 33,000 seats are likely to go vacant. In addition to these 33,000 against CAP seats that will be surrendered for institute level admissions, there are already 22,246 seats separately allotted for institute level admissions and 7,076 minority seats.
“Now admissions will be done for these seats at the institute level individually. Though candidates without Common Entrance Test (CET) score will also be admitted under these institute level
admissions as per the rule, around 30,000 seats are still likely to go vacant at the end,” the official said.
He added, “Students prefer only top-rung or at least known institutes. Hence, ample number of seats will go vacant in newly-opened and institutes in rural areas.”
Similarly, for MBA admissions, total intake capacity under CAP rounds this year is 33,778. So far, 16, 397 seats have been filled. After the CAP rounds, there are 17,397 vacant seats. In addition to these CAP seats, there are 7,898 approved intake capacity for the institute level admissions and 2,187 seats for minority quota.
According to the data available with the DTE, 43,863 is the total intake capacity for MBA admissions. So far, 19,347 seats have been filled, leading to 24,516 vacant seats.
“Now, admission schedule for MBA has also been extended to September 15. This additional window for admission will also not be able to fill all the vacant seats. Hence, in MBA courses, around 20,000 seats are likely to go vacant, this year,” said the official.
