OJEE: Nearly half the seats remain vacant
OJEE: Nearly half the seats remain vacant

The first round allotment for the MBA and MCA colleges of the State under the Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE) was a poor show.

 There are around 3,000 seats for the MCA colleges in the state and around 3,500 for the MBA colleges. But the seat allotment in the first round for the MBA colleges stood at 1,700. Similarly, the seat allotment for the MCA colleges was around 1,200.

 “The students are shifting to other states when it comes to these courses. No one wants to spend a fortune on these courses and compromise on the quality of education they get,” said an OJEE official.

 This lack of interest on the part of the students shows the quality of education imparted by the MBA and MCA colleges in the State. The final round allotment is yet to be declared and there is still an option for withdrawal left for the students. So the numbers may dip further by the time the final allotment is made.  The OJEE officials were looking forward to complete the allotment of the final engineering seats, but the impending court cases have put off the final date. The final allotment was supposed to be declared on July 30, but it has now been postponed to August 4.

 There have been around 1,800 withdrawals after the first allotment, showing the general shift in the student’s faith in the technical education in the State. The OJEE officials have asked the students to take admission only after the final allotment has been made so that the seat positioning is clear and students will have no confusion about which college to join.
