Getting an engineering seat in the state seems to be a cakewalk. For, this year too, up to 40,000 seats are likely to remain vacant in engineering colleges, defying the very purpose of an engineering entrance exam in the state.
With more seats than the numbers of students, most engineering institutes will struggle to fill up their seats.
Around 2.8 lakh students had appeared for the engineering stream (physics-chemistry-mathematics: PCM) in MHT-CET this year. Of them, only 1.2 lakh students have registered for the engineering admissions, while there are a total of 1.48 lakh seats in 363 engineering institutes in Maharashtra. According to an official from the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE), the numbers of seats is likely to go up by at least 5% under the tuition fee waiver scheme (TFWS).
Last year, the corresponding figure for students was around 1.04 lakh, while there were 1.4 lakh seats in all.
"The last date of registration was June 28. We extended the date by a couple of days for students who were unable to procure the required documents. However, the numbers of applicants went up only by a few thousands in the two days. Once the TFWS seats are counted, the numbers of vacancies may go up to 40,000."

He said most of the vacant seats are usually found in institutes in remote areas of Vidarbha, Marathwada, Jalgaon and Nagpur.
"In cities like Mumbai and Pune, the problem is not very severe. But even colleges here face problems in filling up seats in programmes like information technology (IT), chemical, production and textile engineering."

Last year, close to 35,000 engineering seats remained vacant. The AICTE lowered the eligibility criteria for engineering/technical programmes from 50 percent in Class XII (in PCM) to 45 percent for the general category. This, however, made the matter worse.
While several states, including Maharashtra, have requested the AICTE not to give approval to new colleges, around 15 new institutes have been given sanctioned this year.
