Karnataka government considers freezing enhancement of Computer Science engineering seats
The State government is considering freezing the enhancement of Computer Science Engineering (CSE) seats to prevent the mushrooming of private engineering colleges in tier-1 cities and unemployment in the future. The Telangana High Court had recently upheld the Telangana government's decision regarding the enhancement of CSE seats, and Higher Education Minister M.C. Sudhakar said that the order is being reviewed. 'Last year, the Telangana government had imposed restrictions on the enhancement of CSE seats in private engineering colleges. This was challenged by some private engineering college managements in the High Court there. It is learnt that the court, which upheld the Telangana government's action, has dismissed the petition of the private engineering colleges. In this context, there is a need to freeze the enhancement of CSE seats in Karnataka as well,' the Minister told The Hindu. According to the Higher Education Department's notified seat matrix for engineering and architecture courses in the State, there were 1,32,309 seats in 245 engineering colleges for the academic year 2024-25. This included 62,930 seats under the government quota, 28,656 seats under the COMED-K quota, and 5,155 seats under supernumerary quota. Among these, around 45,000 seats belong only to CSE and related courses. Currently, there is a huge demand for seats in CSE due to job availability, among other reasons. The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) is the authority for granting permission to start new engineering colleges, courses, and seat enhancement on the basis of infrastructure. The council removed the cap on engineering admissions and is allowing the enhancement of engineering seats based on the demand of engineering colleges. Taking this as an excuse, some private engineering colleges in tier-1 cities have increased the number of seats more than the limit fixed by the State government based on the infrastructure, by getting permission from AICTE. Some colleges have 1,500 to 2,000 seats only for CSE courses. Letter to AICTE This has led to an imbalance between traditional and emerging engineering disciplines, the mushrooming of engineering colleges in tier-1 cities, and the increase in seats for a single course, leading to a lack of jobs related to that course in the future. Mr. Sudhakar, in October 2023, had written to AICTE expressing concern over its lenient norms, which he argued have led to an over-concentration of engineering colleges in tier-1 cities and a glut of courses in popular subjects like CSE. This, he said, has disrupted the balance in technical education across the State. He also requested that AICTE should mandate a State government No Objection Certificate (NOC) before approving any applications. However, AICTE reportedly did not respond positively to the Minister's letter. 'AICTE is only giving permission to increase the number of new colleges, courses, and seat enhancement by looking at the basic infrastructure. However, it does not consider the problems that will arise in the future by allowing an increase in seats for the same courses. Currently, CSE graduates are not getting jobs. Also, there is an imbalance between traditional courses and emerging disciplines. In this regard, the Telangana High Court's verdict is a ray of hope, and after a comprehensive study of this matter and obtaining detailed information from the Telangana government, action will be taken to freeze CSE seats,' the Minister said. 'It is no secret that there are more job opportunities for computer science and related engineering graduates in the job market at the moment. Therefore, there is a high demand for these courses in colleges with good infrastructure. I do not know for what purpose the government is saying that the seats of CSE should be frozen. This year too, we have applied to AICTE for CSE seat enhancement, and we are expecting it to be approved,' said the principal of a private engineering college that was newly started last year.

KEA launches three student-friendly digital platforms
In a student-friendly move, the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) launched three digital initiatives on Monday. These include a portal that gives all relevant information of colleges in the State, a mobile app that provides all services, and an Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered chatbot. Speaking at an event launching the three services, Higher Education Minister M.C. Sudhakar said the KEA was consistently adopting modern technology to streamline examination processes and make them more candidate-centric. 'Such advancements ensure timely and accurate information, eliminate confusion, and reduce the dependency on intermediaries,' he said. UGCET college portal A crucial stage before option entry is selecting the right college. Previously, students had to rely on scattered sources for information. The new UGCET college portal consolidates all relevant information about colleges in one place. Colleges have themselves uploaded their prospectuses on the portal. The portal provides detailed insights into each college's infrastructure, academic environment, labs, libraries, classrooms, hostels, course-wise fee structure, and details about both guest and permanent faculty. 'Many students, unaware of college conditions, make choices blindly and later request changes. This portal will help avoid such issues by enabling informed decision making,' the Minister explained. The portal will also include a feature to report any colleges charging excess fees. Complaints filed here will be directly forwarded to the fee regulation committee, KEA sources said. KEA mobile app The mobile application will provide access to all services available on the KEA website, including application submission, option entry, choice selection, and fee payment. It also features push notifications to keep candidates updated. The app is particularly beneficial for students from rural areas who previously depended on cyber centres and often made errors during online application and seat allocation processes. 'Now, with the app, most procedures can be handled directly by the candidates themselves on their mobile phones,' Dr. Sudhakar noted. KEA chatbot The chatbot will allow candidates to receive instant answers to their queries. It was launched a few days ago and since then, over 1.35 lakh students have used it to seek information, KEA sources said. All official KEA information is uploaded to the chatbot system. Candidates can simply type their questions and receive accurate responses based on the available data. This eliminates the need for visiting KEA offices or contacting external centers for information. Currently, the chatbot responds only in English, but a Kannada version is in the works and expected to be launched within a month. The system is being managed by BSNL, KEA sources added.
