Half of seats in MP colleges vacant after 3rd counselling
Indore: Despite three rounds of counselling, nearly half of the 6.5 lakh seats available across undergraduate (UG), postgraduate (PG), and teacher education courses in Madhya Pradesh remain vacant. So far, over 3.4 lakh students secured admissions for the 2025–26 academic session, prompting the Department of Higher Education (DHE) to consider conducting another CLC round to maximise seat utilisation. Admissions for CLC round closed on Thursday for UG and NCTE courses. Of the total admissions, more than 2.4 lakh students enrolled in UG programmes, around 62,000 through the first College Level Counselling (CLC) round and over 1.8 lakh in the earlier phases of online counselling. Teacher education courses regulated by the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) witnessed one of the highest response rates among all programmes, with over 50,000 admissions secured against 58,000 available seats. The high enrolment in NCTE courses highlights a continued demand among students to enter the teaching profession. Postgraduate admissions are also progressing, with more than 48,000 students already admitted. The registration window for the PG CLC round closed on Thursday, with over 25,000 fresh registrations recorded. DHE revised the PG admission schedule following directions from the high court. Applicants for subjects outside the major-minor format will receive interview notifications with details of date, time, and venue by July 14. Interviews will be held between July 16 and 17, with colleges entering the marks on the admission portal soon after. PG seat allotment will be released on July 21, and selected students must complete fee payment between July 21 and 25 to confirm their admission. "The CLC round concluded with encouraging numbers, and a substantial number of students also registered for PG programmes," said Dr Tulsiram Dahayat, officer on special duty, DHE. With nearly half the seats still vacant after three rounds of counselling, another round of admissions is likely to follow to ensure maximum seat utilisation.
