Here is some good news for students appearing for the HSC (science) examination this year - a good 8,000 additional seats in engineering streams like civil, automobile and mechanical will be available in self-financed colleges from academic year 2013. The seats have recently been approved by the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE).
Last year, there were 55,726 degree engineering seats and 5,005 degree pharmacy seats in the state. With the current rise, the total number of seats has increased to 68,731 in engineering and pharmacy courses.
Following this, almost every student in the A group with Maths, Physics and Chemistry subjects will stand better chance if he just manages to pass the board exams. This too has been made easy by the Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSHSEB) which declared that students need only aggregate 133 marks out of 400 to pass. They do not necessarily need to pass each and every semester exam.
Education officials said that last year over 8,000 seats had remained vacant mainly in less preferred branches while there was heavy rush in branches like civil, mechanical and automobile engineering which promise better job prospects. "It has been communicated to us that 8,000 additional seats have been approved by AICTE in different colleges which had applied for the same," said Janak Khandwala, member secretary of the Self-Financed Engineering College Management Association.
Member of the Admission Committee for Professional Courses (ACPC) M N Patel said that more seats would mean more options for the students. This year, the rise in seats which were earlier communicated in June or July has been approved well in advance for the benefit of the students.
