There would be about 1.5 lakh less seats for Engineering, Management, and other technical degree courses in older institutions in the country. At the same, about 1.4 lakh additional seats have been added by new institutions or those raising student intakes after the approval of All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE).
As per the AICTE, about 1.5 lakh seats for the 2020-21 academic session have been dropped on account of closure of institutions, punitive action by the technical education regulator, or failure of some institutions to get renewals.
However, the addition of 1.4 lakh new seats in these streams means that the overall reduction in seats in institutions providing technical education is just about 10,000.
