JEE Main chaos: Top engineering seats vanish!
5 Jul
Summary
- Computer science at SGSITS closed at AIR 37,584.
- Second counselling round will consider Class 12 marks.
- First round admissions deadline is July 7.
The initial phase of the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) counselling for engineering admissions in Indore has concluded, revealing significant competition for coveted seats. Aspiring engineers faced a challenging landscape as premier institutes like Shri Govindram Seksaria Institute of Technology and Science (SGSITS) and Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya's (DAVV) Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) allotted most of their popular courses to candidates with high JEE Main merit ranks.
Computer science, the most sought-after branch, saw its admission cut-off at SGSITS close at All India Rank (AIR) 37,584 under the MP state quota. Information technology and Computer Science and Business Systems (CSBS) were also highly popular. Admissions officials noted that a substantial number of seats in these preferred branches were already filled, underscoring the fierce competition for spots in Madhya Pradesh's leading engineering institutions.
Despite the intense first round, opportunities remain for students. Director Pratosh Bansal of IET indicated that the upcoming second round of counselling, scheduled to open for fresh registrations on July 10, will consider Class 12 marks in addition to JEE Main ranks. This inclusion aims to provide a broader chance for aspirants to secure a seat. Candidates who received an allotment in the first round must complete their document verification and fee payment by July 7. They also have the option to seek an upgrade to a higher preference during this reporting period.
