No takers for engineering courses: Andhra Pradesh's problem of plenty
As parents scramble all over the country, paying a king's ransom to get their child an engineering seat, Andhra Pradesh has a problem of plenty. There are few takers for engineering seats in the state. After the first phase of admissions this year, over one lakh seats are vacant and nearly 50 engineering colleges face closure. Of these, 13 had no students seek admission and 34 colleges got less than 10 applications each.
