Poor response for MBA, MCA and Pharma continued

Once considered most favorite among the young guns the MBA and MCA drew few students; and this year, it seems the courses are on the verge of extinction in the state.

Over 16,008 seats of the total 23,712 in MBA and MCA courses have remained vacant. Only 7,704 seats could be filled in all.

To add to the insult as many as 32 colleges of MBA have fewer than 10 students against the capacity of 60. In MCA I semester, 47 institutes have either 10 or fewer than 10 students. Only 25% of the total of 124 colleges of MBA has been able to get the full quota of students. In the case of MCA, only 19% of 84 colleges in I semester have drawn the full quota.

In the case of B. Pharm and M. Pharm, the situation is worse. In all, 3,686 seats have remained vacant out of 4,900 seats.
