Like in 2012, there are over a few thousand vacant seats in
engineering colleges 2013 also, and the management of many
Engineering Institutes are a worried lot
In Bangalore more than 9,000 CET engineering seats vacant. According
to a press note from the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA),
56,002 seats have been filled so far. While initially 8,772 seats were
available for the extended round, 773 seats were surrendered by
students, while 327 were surrendered to the government by managements.
Simultaneously, 34 seats were added from new architecture colleges.
In the end, 9,906 seats were on offer for the students, out of which
only 679 seats were taken.
A major reason being attributed to the failure in filling up more
seats despite the extended round is because several students who
wished to avail a subsidized government or government-quota seat under
the Common Entrance Test (CET) had already taken seats under the
Consortium of Medical, Engineering and Dental Colleges of Karnataka
(COMEDK).
In Orissa too, over 27,000 Engg seats remain vacant. More than 3,000
candidates have been allotted seats in engineering colleges during the
2nd phase of counselling conducted by the OJEE.

The OJEE officials said more than 27,000 seats had remained vacant
after the first round of counselling. After the completion of second
round, number of vacant seats still is at an all-time high.
The sanctioned strength in government colleges is more than 3,000
seats and in private engineering colleges, it is more than 42,300
seats. The number of vacant seats, even after second round of
counselling in the engineering colleges, is more than 23,500. This is
more than half of the sanctioned strength of all engineering colleges.
The problem of vacant seats is mostly faced by private colleges. The
government colleges though had no problem in filling up their seats.
And in Tamilnadu, more than 80,000 engg seats fall and academicians
attribute three factors to the development. The first factor is AICTE
is sanctioning new engineering colleges in areas where there are
already too many; approvals for additional seats in any stream of
engineering in existing colleges, and the surrender of "significantly
high" number of management quota seats for counselling.
At the end of the general counselling of Tamil Nadu Engineering
Admission (TNEA) on Friday, 80,689 seats remained vacant out of a
total of 2.05 lakh seats.
Academics from Anna University and engineering colleges maintain that
it is wrong to say that the interest for engineering has declined.
While it is true that the scramble for seats is not like what it used
to be in the past, this trend is attributed to various other reasons.
In Mumbai also, only 4,247 of 54,852 vacant engineering seats were
filled in the counselling round. Thus, the number of vacant seats
after the final round of admission in the state's engineering colleges
is more than 50,000 this year, as compared to around 44,000 in 2012.
Most of the vacant seats are in courses like information technology,
electronics and telecommunications. The state government will open a
window for students who made it to the merit list, but were unable to
report for admissions for several reasons.
After the two CAP (centralised admission process) rounds, there were
54,941 vacant seats. Several leading colleges in the state such as the
VJTI and the College of Engineering Pune had over 70 seats vacant.
In BIT Sindri, 155 engineering seats still remain vacant after the
first round of admission.
Despite the mad rush for admission, nearly 155 out of 711 seats in all
the 10 branches in engineering remained vacant at BIT Sindri.
The institute has sent the list of vacancies to the science department
for second round of counselling. Total 32 seats in mechanical
engineering, 24 in electrical engineering, nine in production
engineering, 11 in metallurgical engineering, 20 in chemical
engineering, 11 in civil engineering, 14 in electronics and
communication engineering, 13 in mining engineering, 14 in computer
science and seven IT remained vacant after first counselling. BIT
expects more vacancies after spot admission at different NITs in July
end.
In Chennai, more than 40% of engineering seats vacant, of the 2.05
lakh seats made available as government quota, around 1.22 lakh were
filled. Last year, 58,000 seats remained unfilled at the end of
counselling.
Indications that the number would be greater this year came early.
Before counselling began on June 21, officials felt more than 15,000
seats would go empty as the number of applications received was lower
than the number of seats.
This year, mechanical and civil engineering saw a rush of students,
while the popular circuit branches took a hit. While more than 70% of
mechanical and civil engineering seats were filled, less than 60% of
the seats in any of the circuit branches, including electronics and
communications engineering, were taken.
