Computer, Electronics 2008 -trend still on:- you vote!

The demand for BE in Computer Science and Electronics among students continues.You can also vote in my blog as which course according to you is in most demand.The voting trend in blog.So keep voting.

This preference was obvious at the Karnataka Examination Authority premises on Thursday. On the fourth day of the counselling for general category, students were found opting for computer science followed by electronics and communication, telecommunication and biotechnology. There are about 25 engineering courses to choose from 141 colleges for the CET engineering rank holders.

Consultation with the peers, parents’ suggestion and continuous assessment about current courses and top colleges have influenced the students with the preset notion to choose BE courses. A few top engineering colleges, like MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology drew on zero seats in the BE Computer Science of the General Merit Category. More than 1,500 seats were selected by students based on college wise and course wise.

Confident, Ramya Shenoy, student from Mysore said, “I had a list of preferred courses based on the college and its performance. Keeping in mind factors like career prospects, placements and the institution faculty I had my choices of courses like Electronics and Communication, Computer Science and Electrical followed by Biotechnology”.

On the contrary, courses like aeronautical engineering, silk technology, construction management and other courses have not been selected yet by students. KEA official say that selection of courses is based on the interest of students and peer pressure. “Some courses are selected during the fag end of the counselling session. Today just two seats in BE aeronautical engineering have been selected, however the popular courses like computer science in top colleges in the General Merit category have been completely selected” said the KEA official.

The Department of Higher Education, as promised has hosted the list of engineering colleges based on the VTU results of past five years which given a clearer picture for students in choosing BE course.
