Hi

As per your question according to the data The education official said the results make it clear that the

govt will need to lower the standards for admission. The state has 72,800 engineering seats and with

only 26% of that number clearing the examination with 40% marks there'll be quite 65% seats left

vacant. Of the 27,800-odd students nearly 1,000 to 1,500 will attend IITs and other premier institutes. Of

the remaining 26,000 odd students around 10% will go outside the state to pursue higher studies.

Given the circumstances, vacant seats in engineering colleges may go up to 70%. The officer said that

with fewer eligible students, colleges in rural areas faraway from big cities like Ahmedabad, Rajkot, Surat

and Vadodara and Gandhinagar won't find takers. “We expect seats to stay vacant even in government

colleges in remote areas,” he said.

In 2019, there have been 40,000 seats that had gone vacant and there have been four colleges which

didn't find any takers and had zero admissions. “This year we expect this number to further increase,”

said a senior officer of the ACPC. The officer said that the eight to 10 sought-after colleges including LD

College will accommodate the highest 4,000-odd students.

Within a year, the Department of Education has reduced EWS seats in many cases to half. The Gujarat

Department of Education has hamper nearly 10,000 diploma and degree engineering seats in

government and grant-in-aid polytechnic and engineering colleges across the state for the 2020-21

school term .

Hope helpful.
