VACANCY IN ENGINEERING SEATS IN KERALA


(Amal Jyoti College of Engineering, Koovappally, Kanjirapally)

According to available information, out of the 51,000 engineering seats available in different colleges 23,000 are lying vacant this year. With the existing employment opportunities for engineers in India this trend is likely to be continued. It may not be worth to find out reasons for our youth going to other countries for studies leaving these much seats in our colleges. However, if we can draft a plan jointly by representatives from engineering colleges, Ministeries of Education, Finance and Tourism of Government of Kerala we may be able to fill these vacancies.

Let us try to bring students from other countries, preferably from third world countries. We may initially offer as much concessions as possible to attract more and more students and also to set a trend. Tourism and finance departments should give more focus towards this direction. Let us keep in mind that we may include Medicine and other branches also in the coming years. Our final target should be to make Kerala a Educational Hub of the world. Let us do this quite fast. The result may be encouraging.
