Kerala holding the credit of 100% literacy is famous for its number of engineers & professionals. Engineering education has become a matter of business now a days.We are going to see the admission procedure of another batch.So let us review the present situation of our state in the same.

Admissions to private self-financing colleges has been always a severe problem to the government. Especially this government has been always crucified for its wrong ideas on the same.This government introduced a bill that claimed 50% seats in private self financing colleges in government fees. It was later canceled by the hon. high court.This bill was really a good one as it ensured social justice but failed to obtain enough legal support.

After that the government tried to sign a treaty to the consortium of private managements.By this half of the total seats in private colleges can be allotted by the government with a fees of  Rs.30750/-  which is about 5 times that in a government engineering college.

But there is something positive that in the previous years on all the seats in the private colleges the fees was Rs.38000.This gives us a hope that the fees will reduce in the coming years.The government should try to sign a treaty to the managements that will be valid for at least 5 years which can reduce the tension of students who are seeking admission to engineering courses.

The managements also should get ready for viewing education as a service not as a business.

I’m writing this article as a person who suffered a lot of trouble while passing through last years admission procedure & now enjoying my engineering life in  University College of Engineering Thodupuzha.I wish all my younger brothers&sisters seeking admission to engineering courses to have wonderful college life.
