Non-inclusion of minority quota affects engineering admissions


By Vikas Vaidya


The allotment of colleges to students in first year engineering has been done under Centralised Admission Process– first round. It has been observed that non –minority engineering colleges under Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University (RTMNU) has received overall more than 50% allotment on the other hand Engineering colleges having minority status are a bit behind by an overall allotment of around 33% in CAP I. It is brought into notice of general public and engineering aspirants that this year Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) has not included minority seats in CAP I, even though the respective engineering colleges have surrendered their minority seats in time. Due to this,  advantage has gone in favour of non minority colleges. Students who want to seek admissions in minority colleges should not be in panic, as they will be getting their allotment in CAP round II, as minority seats will be open for all category students in CAP-II.
After absorbing minority quota seats, suddenly DTE did not include those seats in the first round allotment. DTE did not allot about 5,000 seats of minority quota.
The engineering colleges with minority status have surrendered the minority quota of 51% to Centralised Admission Process (CAP). The colleges have 20% seats in management quota. Their 29% seats further get included in CAP rounds. The 29 per cent quota too gets bifurcated with the reservation-- regional and category. Therefore, these colleges remain with only handful of seats that too in CAP where the students can take admissions.
With reduction in technical institutes, courses and intake the existing colleges are hopeful of getting good  response from students. It is less likely that number of vacant seats would increase this year, at least in Nagpur region.
The Directorate of Technical Education (DTE). Of the 1.56 lakh engineering seats, over 43 per cent were left vacant last year. This year too, there are 1.6 lakh seats available for the round conducted through Centralised Admission Process (CAP) round.
Total 2,80,042 students appeared for Maharashtra Health Technical – Common Entrance Test (MHT-CET). Huge vacancies in technical institutes across the state have been a problem over the past five to six years.


Jt Dir warns colleges running

ARCs through net cafes of dire consequences


Joint Director of Technical Education, Nagpur Region G R Thakare has warned engineering colleges running Application Receipt Centres (ARCs) through private internet cafes, of dire consequences. He has also appealed students not to give application ID and Password received through application kit, to anybody. Net cafe attached to some colleges give print-out to students but confirm the application after student leaves. They do whatever students ask and give them print-out but get it confirmed after students leave the cafe centre.
Students are advised to ask ARCs to get confirmed and then only take the print-out. After visit to Cafe they should visit any ARC at college. If they find any suspicious activity they should report it to Joint Director office.

· By Vikas Vaidya Though Medical Council of India (MCI) has relaxed the rule of giving Eligibility Certificate for the students wanting to study in foreign countries, the troubles have not ended so far. Now Maharashtra Government has refused to give admission in the State quota of Post Graduate intake. Due to severe shortage of MBBS seats in the country, most of the Indian students are opting for medical colleges in China, Russia, Central America, the Philippines among others every year. Getting the degree in these countries is relatively cheaper. A student can complete MBBS abroad in less than Rs 30 lakh. In the state, the student has to pay, apart from the fee, a donation of up to Rs 80 lakh to get a seat in management quota. All this totals to Rs 1.5 crore. Earliers these students had to obtain eligibility certificate from MCI. This data has been obtained from Board of Intermediate Education to verify the age and qualifications for doing MBBS in foreign countries. Now MCI has ...
