80,000 Engg seats up for grabs in Karnataka
The state government is sure to make those students aspiring
for engineering seats happy as this academic year; there are 80,000 seats up for
grabs. The government alone has 40,000 seats under its quota.
Higher Education Minister V. S. Acharya told reporters here on Monday that counselling
for engineering courses would start from July 7. "Last year there were 8,067 seats
left to be filled," he said.
Acharya said he would write to Union human resources development minister
Kapil Sibal to ensure that AICTE finalises its seat matrix before March 31 from
next academic year. "This would end any uncertainty for the students," he said.
