Jadavpur University Faces Vacancies in Engineering Seats
Jadavpur University (JU) is having trouble filling all of its engineering seats this year.
After a government exam, many seats are still empty, especially in popular fields like computer science and electrical engineering.
This might be because top students are choosing to go to other colleges, like IITs and NITs.
JU plans to hold its own, separate counseling session to try and fill the remaining seats.
The university's rankings have also dropped, possibly because of a lack of funding and delayed admissions.
Over 150 BTech seats at Jadavpur University remain vacant after centralized counseling.
Popular streams like computer science and electrical engineering have unfilled seats.
The opening rank for computer science has dropped significantly compared to last year.
JU is planning independent counseling to fill the remaining seats.
The university's national rankings among engineering colleges have fallen.
