Shifting Trends in Karnataka’s Engineering Admissions In Karnataka, this academic year has witnessed significant shifts in engineering admissions. By the first cutoff date on October 10, a total of 50,272 students secured their places in engineering colleges, and approximately 10,000 seats remained unfilled, prompting the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) to return them to colleges. Later, when the admissions deadline was extended to October 30, KEA requested colleges to return around 200 vacant seats. During the final round, KEA allocated 50 government college seats, excluding those directly admitted by private colleges. These changes are indicative of evolving trends in the state’s engineering education landscape.
Rise in Karnataka’s Engineering Admissions Attributed to Changing Education Landscape Karnataka’s engineering admissions for this year have seen a remarkable increase, reflecting the changing dynamics of education in the state. A total of 50,272 students were admitted by the initial cutoff date of October 10, with approximately 10,000 seats returned to colleges by the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA). Following an extension of the admission deadline to October 30, KEA urged colleges to relinquish around 200 additional seats. In the final round, KEA filled 50 government college seats, with admissions by colleges not included in the official count. The surge in admissions can be attributed to the growing number of students completing their school and pre-university college education, along with updated and attractive engineering programs.
Shaping the Future of Engineering Admissions in Karnataka Karnataka’s engineering admissions have taken a new trajectory this year, with 50,272 students securing seats by the initial October 10 cutoff date. Approximately 10,000 unfilled seats were returned to colleges by the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA). Subsequently, when the admission deadline was extended to October 30, KEA encouraged colleges to return approximately 200 seats. In the final round, KEA allocated 50 government college seats, distinct from the admissions handled directly by private colleges. Notably, the admissions count provided by KEA excludes those conducted by the colleges themselves. According to S Vidyashankar, Vice-Chancellor of Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU), the increase in admissions can be attributed to a higher number of students graduating from pre-university colleges and the appeal of updated engineering programs. Additionally, changing career trends, particularly the growing demand for computer science and related programs, have played a significant role in this surge. As per Ali Khwaja, founder of Banjara Academy, programs like computer science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data science are currently in high demand, while other engineering streams have experienced a decline in popularity.
