Only 9,922 of the 16,288 seats in MBA and MCA courses have been filled
he rising number of vacant seats in MBA and MCA courses every year has left professional institutes in the state worried. They are now trying hard to woo students with attractive offers.
The management authorities, who till a few years ago, looked hard-pressed to accommodate your ward in these courses, are now keen to welcome you along with freebies and discounts.
Newspapers are replete with advertisements offering you a laptop or discount in the admission fee, while giving you an option of different colleges to choose from.
“If you are a graduate with Gujarat Common Entrance Test (GCET)/Management Aptitude Test(MAT)/Common Aptitude Test (CAT) or any other valid entrance score, join our college and get a free laptop,” reads one advertisement. “Call us for admission at this number and avail of a discount on admission fee,” says another.
When Mirror called up some of these numbers, receivers not only indicated that the fee being quoted was negotiable, some of them right away offered a discount of up to 12 per cent. Some institutes also offered the option of fee payment on interest-free easy instalments.
Authorities mentioned that the trigger to such splash of advertisements in the newspapers is a recent directive from the Gujarat Technological University (GTU), which has asked the management of these institutes to fill up the vacant seats on their own. As per a recent communication, the institutes have to complete the admission process to these professional courses from August 25 to September 5 and apprise the GTU of its status by September 9.
